==History==
At an unspecified point in the Moebian Domain's history, a girl named Messelina would gather a significant following in her zealous pursuit of heretics [[heretic]]s and the liberation of many worlds in the Moebian Domain. She and her followers lead liberated many Moebian worlds through blood and fire, bringing an age of peace to the Domain.{{Fn|3}}
Messelina was a devout follower of the [[Imperial Creed]] and would attempt to dissuade any worship or excessive praise of herself. Many hymns would be written of her during her time, but she rejected all of them, for she feared she would become a subject of idolatry. Many more hymns, shrines, and grand cathedrals would be raised in her name.{{Fn|2f}}
Her followers are noted as having liberated a [[Arvania City]].{{Fn|2c}}
She would eventually be betrayed by members of the [[Imperial Creed]],{{Fn|3a}} likely leading to her death. A group of her followers hunted down these betrayers and went on to form the [[Cult of Sanguine Reprisal]]. The cult continues to operate in the Moebian Fringe to this day, millennia after Messelina's death.{{Fn|2a}}
She is said to have witnessed the fall of [[Komaris]], the Imperial bastion of the Moebian Fringe. She is said to have shed tears when she witnessed it's its fall. A moon near Komaris, [[Messelina Gloriana]], would become a minor [[Shrine World]] in her namesake and many shrines would be built on the world.{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|2b}}
