However there are cracks in his rule, as the Adored chafe against their existence as petty raiders. These began to show and threaten [[Xantine]]'s leadership, as he led the Adored in a raid upon an [[Imperial]] world that had been left isolated by [[Warp Storm]]s.{{Fn|1}}
==History==
The Adored draws its earliest roots from the Horus Heresy as various members of the Emperor's Children{{Fn|2b}}. After the Horus Heresy, the Adored was under the leadership of the Chaos Lord [[Euphoros]] at [[Canticle City]], and they were present at [[Abaddon]]'s [[Battle of Harmony|calamitous raid]] on Harmony. Despite being one of the warbands who suffered heavy losses at Abaddon's hands, Euphoros would swear fealty to Abaddon and become part of the [[Children of Torment]]. Sometime later, Euphoros's lieutenant Xantine would discover the Slaaneshi daemon [[S'janth]] trapped in an [[Aeldari]] artifact upon the world of [[Kalliope]]. Xantine would make a deal with S'janth to take her to reunite with Slaanesh, and in exchange, he would share his body for augmented power enough to challenge and kill Euphoros for leadership of the Adored and possession of the frigate ''[[Exhortation]]''.{{Fn|2a}}
