===The Major Spiritual Lieges===
====The Knights of St. Aeonid (Calth)====
The Knights of St Aeonid were origionally founded with the purpose of defending the realm of Ultramar against demonic forces. And it is for this purpose that many of the most ancient and revered Exorcist forces of Ultramar answer to them, such as the Mortifactors. However; as the threat of Imperium Undivided become more and more feeble, and the shadowing caverns of Calth are filled with villages and mining complexes, the chapter has been slowly drifting into the Orbit of the Fabresegnor of Konor. This is in no small part thanks to the Grottoliers of Calth, who have adopted many of the traditions of the Aurelian Mechanicus such as the veneration of sainted machine spirits. 

Calth must balence a delicate line between its Affiliated chapters, who expect a more mainline, traditional calth upon which they can rely on as an anchor, and its mechanicus minded populous, who see the spiritual needs of their equipment and the care for machine spirits as vital as those of their own children. 




====Minor Holy Sites====
There are several other spiritual lieges who, while not given the same clout and authority as the Great Thirteen, do have some autonomy in their own spiritual affairs, and can found Astartes Chapters and Ancillae orders.
*Assam
:Located in the Ultima sector bordering Tau space. The Assam sector is the head location of the "Cordinumbae Cult." It is also the home planet of the Lotus Hearts Space Marine chapter, which is considered to be one of the few successes of the "Tau Founding."
*Monarchia
:The Church of the Aurelian Triumphant is a minor but important seat that commemorates the Ultramarine's first victory over demonic forces.
*Maccragge
:Despite its obvious religious Importance, Maccragge was only purged of the Demonic Taint of Nurgle following the Sister's Crusade of M37. Technically Maccragge was under the Jurisdiction of Maccragge Extremis seat, but this was considered to be too large of a domminion. Maccragge was also considered a had a sister seat of both Ophelia, Espandor, and Nova Thulium there until M39, when the Seats were united under a single Spiritual Liege.
*Ophelia
:Formerly a site of the "Imperial Soter" cult established by Lorgar Pseudourelian, all doctrinal traces of Lorgar and his Lectitio have been purged and this seat Holy seat is considered now to be one of the most dogmatically orthodox, if perhaps over-zealously so.
*Talassar
:The Wealthy Talassar system has been able to assert its influence due to its over representation among Ancillae and Astartes recruits. The discipline and noble character of this planet has resulted in some of the Finest men and women to serve the Aurelian cult.
*Gantz Noveau
:Founded by the Techmarines and Charismateurs who accompanied Macharios on his great conquest, they were able acquire a planet for the purpose of establishing a Aurelian Mechanicus Forgeworld in Grand Macharia
