====Remelon-In-His-Light, Ecclesiarchial Dominion==== {{Infobox 40k Planet |name= Remelon |bgcolor=black |fgcolor=white |image= |class= Shrine World |orbdist= .96AU |gravity= .79G |temp= 35 C |pop= 4,000,000,000 (Surface) 100,000,000 (Lunar) |governor= Cardinal Deswali Blannos |system= Remelon System |sector= Holomoran |subsector= Remelon |segmentum= Ultima Segmentum }} The Atalantos Worlds have never held as strongly to religious teaching as the rest of the Imperium, for they more than most remember the Imperial Truth passed down from the Emperor Himself. The War Scribes have thousands of documents, vox-recordings and pict-captures of the Emperor's speeches and are not averse to promulgating them amongst the masses when necessary. Nevertheless the Ecclesiarchy maintains a moderate presence in this galactic region, using rhetoric, wise counsel and populist movements to sway hearts and minds that tend to reject fury and fanaticism. Some of the Imperium's greatest religious thinkers have come from Remelon in millennia past, expertly patching holes and erasing flawed logic in the Imperial Creed. Regrettably Remelon's time as a local hub of the faithful is coming to an end. Cardinal Deswali is the 118th holder of her title here and she will very likely be the last. Long-range scans and Astropathic surveys indicate that a nearby star has run out of fuel and died quite spectacularly. While the blast debris will not reach Remelon for thousands of years, the radiation pulse will arrive in less than eight and the Warp is becoming tumultuous even ahead of that. Evacuations have begun in earnest thanks to hundreds of Ecclesiarchial pilgrim ships diverted from their normal routes, but it is anyone's guess how many will be saved. Concerningly, the Eldar have also appeared in-system in numbers unheard of by Imperial scholars. The War Scribes tried to engage this fleet immediately for their hatred of xenos surpasses almost all other Astartes but at every turn they were beset by horrendous luck and improbable circumstances. Finally, the Warp became so tumultuous around them thanks to the oncoming supernova that they were forced to break off pursuit lest they lose an entire fleet. The Eldar however slipped through the storm with barely a whisper. Most of Remelon's people were carried away on Imperial transport, but nearly a five hundred thousand stragglers, including Cardinal Deswali herself were rescued by the Eldar for purposes unknown. It is beyond the Imperium's capacity to reason out why this should be so, but their only clue are a few cryptic words from the Corsair in charge of the armada. "We do not like your kind, Mon-keigh. We like your religion even less, preacher. But the celestial balance, the sphere of stars, the void which I call home has been violated by the ancient foe, and must now be repaired. You are incalculably lucky that to preserve harmony, you too must be preserved. Had I my own choice in the matter you would all have burned." Cardinal Deswali has softened her tone of late when preaching. She has redoubled her frenzy against traitors and heretics, but not a whisper has she spoken against xenos. Whether this is the result of some fell mental manipulation or undue admiration for the Eldar it will bear watching. She has crossed no line, for it is a Cardinal's sacred legal privilege to choose the subjects of their speeches, but she stands precariously close to betraying the Imperium. The Ecclesiarchy and the Inquisition will be especially vigilant with her from here on.
