			Sometimes mentioned in fluff relating to the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]], the '''Occlusiad''' was a time period when a radical sect of [[Techpriests]] calling themselves the Apostles of the Blind King (no relation to the [[Silent King]]) declared humanity to be an affront to the [[Omnissiah\|Machine God]].
