Editing House Accolon (section)

===When the King comes back===
Though the Imperium owed the Knights of Accolon a great debt, the Household was so ravaged the Household was considered beyond saving. What was worse, with the loss of the King the glue that had bound all of Cattegirn together was gone, and in the years following the Rebellion the United Kingdom of Cattegirn began to come apart, and lords and dukes clashed with one another. Soon Cattegirn was reduced to Five Kingdoms, all in sporadic conflict with one another. The chance of warriors from these five being able to come together under the Banner of the Knights of Accolon was remote.

But the new head of the Household, Thegn Bedieve "Diademed" was a wise and canny ruler. Already the new Imperial Faith was beginning to take shape across the Imperium, though fighting repression from the Supreme Commander of the Imperium, [[Gaspard Lumey]] of the Void Angels. And that cult revered many Saints of the God-Emperor, and one of those Saints was the 'Blade of Terra', the Knight King of Cattegirn who had fallen crossing blades with the First Traitor and now the Saint of Knights.

Bedieve made contact with some among the faith, and granted them the right to raise a Temple to the Saint of Knights on Cattegirn itself. It soon became a place of pilgrimage, defended by the Knights and protected from persecution from the outside. The tithes gathered from the faithful gave the Knights a source of income to rebuild their shattered forces, and agitation from the Imperial Faith helped to muster support for the Household. The newly-formed Adeptus Mechanicus began to provide replacement Knight Suits from Forges as far afield as Al-Sherar, Dieseleum and even Sacred Mars itself.

Though Cattegirn was fractured, the Nobles of the Five Kingdoms were still eager to send their sons to join the Knights of Accolon. Though tensions ran beneath the surface, and the entire Household was no longer as united as it had been in Arturia's day, the flow of recruits began once again and the Knights began to fill out their Knight Suits. Finally the Household was brought back from the brink of extinction, a debt the Knights would hold to in the centuries to come.
