Changes

The first is that in the twilight hours prior to His internment within the [[Golden Throne]], while Terra lay besieged by the traitor forces of [[Warmaster]] [[Horus]], the [[Emperor of Mankind]] commanded [[Malcador the Sigillite]] to seek out "men of character, skill, and determination" to be tested and trained so that an elite group of investigators might be tasked to discover the [[alien]], [[mutant]], and [[heretic]]. Immediately prior to his assault on Horus's [[battle barge]], Malcador presented twelve individuals to the Emperor - eight [[Astartes]] and four [[humans]] - whom he had gathered in response to the Emperor's commands. The Astartes were described as having cast aside their allegiance to their [[Primarch]]s and [[Legion]]s who had sided with Horus; Malcador went on to say that they were blessed with paranormal skills which were best suited for combating the horrors that had recently emerged from the [[warp]].{{Fn|17}}

The second story is that, immediately after the Emperor was interred in his [[Golden Throne]], four trusted servants of the Emperor gathered in secret to discuss what was to happen next. Their opinions were divided; two believed the Emperor could be returned to life, the other two believed it folly to interfere with the events that had unfolded. The two [[Horusians|resurrectionists]], known as [[Promeus]] and [[Moriana]], left Terra to begin their quest to bring the Emperor back to life. The two that remained acted quickly to establish themselves with the [[Senatorum Imperialis]] and created an organisation to combat the efforts of Promeus and Moriana, and it was from this seed that the Inquisition was formed.{{Fn|18}}
