==Appearance==
Emerging from the ruins of [[Cinderak City]], the Prophet gave a powerful sermon from atop a wrecked [[Cargo-8 Ridgehauler]]. Tens of thousands, including locals and [[Palanite Enforcers|Scrutinator]]s sent to spy on the crusade, gathered to listen. Devotees marked themselves with a seven-pointed scar over their hearts. Speaking in the voice of the [[Lost Saint]], the Prophet's words resonated deeply, transforming doubts into faith and converting even those initially opposed to him. A halo of flame reportedly illuminated the Prophet, visible from [[Hive Primus]] and attracting more followers.{{Fn|1c}}
The most significant impact of the Prophet's message was on the inhabitants of Hive Primus and nearby hives. The saint's voice inspired them to begin their journey toward Hive Temenos, marking the start of the [[Great Pilgrimage]].{{Fn|1c}}
==Invasion of Temenos==
As the Great Pilgrimage reached [[Hive Temenos]], Cardinal [[Ahrmund]] opened the gates to the Prophet's followers, and after an initial fighting between the pilgrims and the local [[Palanite Enforcers|Enforcer]]s, The Prophet himself approached the Enforcers, causing most to drop their weapons and fall at his feet, kissing his hands in tears. Only Scrutinator [[Servalen]], a [[Blank]], remained unaffected.{{Fn|1h}}
Eventually the Prophet and his followers reached the [[Vaults of Temenos]], and witnessed the awakening of the Lost Saint, [[Ozostium Aranthus]].{{Fn|1j}}
