The '''Lethean Revelation''' is a branch of the official state religion of the [[Imperium of Man]], the [[Imperial Creed]].{{Fn|1a}} It is presumably named after the planet [[Lethea]] or its [[Aquatic Vessel|sailor corps]], the [[Lethean Penitents]], and possibly created by Confessor [[Yosiv Gurdjief]] following his return from the tainted swamps of [[Dolorosa]] on [[Phaedra]].{{Fn|1b}}{{citethis}} Believers hold that humanity is born damned and that either redemption can only be achieved through divine suffering in the [[Emperor of Mankind|God-Emperor’s]] name,{{Fn|1b}} or that redemption is impossible and only holy torment exists.{{Fn|1d}} Adherents practice self-flagellation and abject obedience, preach that "the Emperor condemns," and any suffering should be embraced and celebrated as a holy gift.{{Fn|1a}}{{Fn|1c}} After coming into contact with a prophet of the Revelation, the [[Undying Martyr]], the '''Angels Resplendent''' [[Space Marine]] [[Chapter]] underwent a brief civil war, becoming afterwards the [[Angels Penitent]].
