→History
[[Vela Zalth]] was still a leader to the former worshipers, though she now bore the title of '''Proconsul'''. She did her best to temper those who resent having to stop worshiping the Goddess, which included her protégé and successor, '''Consul''' [[Damaris (Consul)|Damaris]]. While Zalth understood their complaints and resentments against the Imperium, she was quick to remind them that Nahor and the [[Emperor]] were now one and the same. And also what their fate could have been, had they refused to embrace the Imperial Creed. For his part, though, Thurgau still worked to stamp out any deviations that still flourished amongst the Goddess' former worshipers. This included their skin piercings, planting seeds underneath their skin and believing the Emperor's blood was tree sap. [[Regium]]'s new [[Imperial Governor]], [[Seroc]], had told the Confessor to ignore this, as these deviations to the Imperial Creed were minor compared to how the worshipers now prayed to the Emperor. In Seroc's view, pressing the matter would only undo all the work Thurgau had done to end Nahor's religion. The Confessor though refused to do so, as he believed these minor deviations could later lead to larger ones, if they were allowed to fester.{{Fn|1b}}

Despite this, however, the Goddess was still secretly worshiped and some of her '''Keft''' priests still gathered to honor the [[Calefaction Pump]]s as her sacred sites. This ultimately came to an end, though, when [[Hive Fleet Leviathan]] invaded the world. Ultimately, [[Space Marine Lieutenant|Lieutenant]] [[Varus Castamon]]'s [[Imperial]] forces were not enough to save [[Regium]] , and he gave the order to destroy it, so the world would not be consumed. His forces achieved this by throwing a reactor down what Aureus Nahor's followers called a world root, but was actually a pump from a [[Calefaction Pump]] machine. The resulting explosion started a chain reaction{{Fn|1e}}, that caused Regium to explode , and only Castamon and four other [[Imperials]] survived the world's destruction. Regium's death also likely brought an end to Aureus Nahor's religion.{{Fn|1f}}
