Changes

In the wake of the [[Great Rift]]'s creation, [[Armageddon]] [[Season of Blood|has been invaded by Daemons]]. This has caused a climate of fearful and superstitious fervor and its major population centres have become rife with [[Imperial]] sub-cults and worshipful creeds. The same is true for the people of [[Hive Helsreach]] and Grimaldus has, perhaps unsurprisingly, become the focus of one particularly large [[Imperial Savior Cult]] within the [[Hive]]. Due to his efforts to save its people during the [[Third War for Armageddon]], the Cult attaches spiritual significance to the '''Hero of Helsreach''' and a talismanic notion of protection to him. To worship the [[Reclusiarch]], Grimaldus' Cult will gather at the ruins of the [[Temple of the Emperor Ascendant]] and perform several rituals in his name. These include lighting huge pyres, where the Cult burns alive citizens that they have accused of [[Psyker|witchery]], [[mutation]] or [[heretical]] thought. {{Fn|7}} Many of the Cult's members will also dig ceremonial graves and then cover them over with shrouds of industrial tarpaulin. They do so in the belief that - just as he reputedly dug his grave in the Temple's grounds once before - Grimaldus might rise from such a ritual pit, to defend the people of Helsreach as he did previously. A high ranking member of the Imperium has his servants watching these Cults, and the one that worships the Reclusiarch in particular. So far, however, it is unclear if there is anything excessively divergent in the Cult's beliefs. They do wonder, though, what the pious Grimaldus would make of the Cult, if he knew about it.{{Fn|7}}
