==Origins==
The Thorian faction's core ideology, the resurrection of the [[Emperor]], in fact dates back to the very end of the [[Horus Heresy]], long before the Thorians' namesake [[Sebastian Thor]] lived. Two of the original founders of the [[Inquisition]], [[Promeus]] and [[Moriana]], looked into means by which the ruler of mankind might be resurrected. However after Moriana began to look to [[Chaos|Dark Powers]] in her quest, Promeus and his followers banished the Inquisitor to the [[Eye of Terror]]. The disciples of Promeus, the Promeans, began a quest over many centuries to restore the Emperor to a mortal body.{{Fn|1a}}
