===Cult of Dionysus=== As their founder Dionysus was already regarded as a figure of legend, but after his death reverence for him grew even more. This cult would grow and spread throughout the fleet with even the serfs coming to revere him, for he was their savior. To those of the Bacchus fleet Dionysus he is father, guardian, savior and power all in one, worshiped in a similar manner to the way the Imperium does the Emperor. Eventually darker tendencies from the past nobility would crop up in the marines of the cult. A growing belief found purchase that eating the flesh of the fallen was a way of renewing life and purity. The Revelers have adopted this custom, possibly due to their Omophagea gland. Non-Astartes members of the fleet do not follow this practice, but do not look down upon it. Shortly after the death of Dionysus during the shattering the Revelers attempted to find someway to revive Dionysus, even delving into chaos for a brief spurt. The Necron Lord that had snuck on the flagship and hidden under the sarcophagus of Dionysus used this time to appear, using his tech, in the flames of a brazier. He claimed to be the spirit of Dionysus and guided them away from chaos before they fell to the ruinous powers. After this all ships in the fleet built recreations of his tomb with a brazier in place of sarcophagus so that his "spirit" could commune with them. Due to this reverence for the Chapter Master it is believed no one else is worthy of holding the title. As such the acting "Chapter Master" is regarded as the right hand of Dionysus, and is given the title Grand Scythe. Mostly due to their past as and Agri world.
