The '''{{PAGENAME}}''' is a [[Necromunda (planet)|Necromundan]] [[Tzeentch]]ian [[Psyker]] [[Helot Cult|cult]], that seeks to bring about a psychic awakening in [[Mankindmankind]]{{Fn|1}} and has plagued the [[Hive Worldhive world]] for millennia, since [[M34]].{{Fn|2a}}
The [[Inquisition]] is well aware of the Cult cult and ruthlessly persecutes it by hunting down and killing its members without mercy.{{Fn|3}} One such instance was in 409.[[M39]], when several [[Inquisitor]]s and their [[gang]] allies disrupted the Cult's ritual to psychically awaken millions of Necromundans. Unfortunately this caused a psychic shockwave that extinguished the souls of all living things for a hundred kilometres from the ritual's location in the far north of the [[Hive World]]. This included an entire [[Hive]] cluster, whose name and inhabitants were also purged from Necromunda's surviving population's memories. To this day, the existence of the forgotten northern Hive cluster is considered a geographical error on the part of the [[Administratum]].{{Fn|2b}}
Later in 944.[[M41]], the Immortal Cult enacted a plot to take over [[Hive Acropolis]] by subverting hundreds of [[House Delaque]]'s [[Spyker]]s. The Cult used their psyker powers to plunder the secrets of the dreaming Spykers, and then compelled them to gather together groups of [[Unsanctioned psyker]]s destined for the [[League of Black Ships|Black Ships]]. However, [[House Helmawr]]'s [[Astropaths]] were able to warn the [[Inquisition]] of the Immortal Cult's plot. [[Ordo Hereticus]] agents later organized local Necromundan gangs to hunt down the psykers and waged war through the madness that ensued.{{Fn|2c}}
