			The '''Plague of Unbelief''' can refer to one of three minor events in Warhammer 40,000's lore, though despite the name [[Nurgle\|a certain plaguefather]] only had his fetid hands on the last two events that bear the name. Confusing, isn't it?

	The '''Plague of Unbelief~~''' is a minor event in Warhammer 40~~,~~000~~ towards the end of the [[Age of Apostasy]], during the few years between the Reign of Blood and the Thorian Reformation. A rogue Cardinal named Bucharis, jealous over his peers' greater achievements, decided to build the biggest temple EVAR. To accomplish this, he enslaved the entire population of his home planet, Gathalamor. Apparently this wasn't enough, so he invaded and enslaved the neighboring planets too.		==The ''First'' Plague of Unbelief==
			The first Plague of Unbelief, and the most fleshed out one of the lot, occured towards the end of the [[Age of Apostasy]], during the few years between the Reign of Blood and the Thorian Reformation. A rogue Cardinal named Bucharis, jealous over his peers' greater achievements, decided to build the biggest temple EVAR. To accomplish this, he enslaved the entire population of his home planet, Gathalamor. Apparently this wasn't enough, so he invaded and enslaved the neighboring planets too.

	As is their wont, a Warp storm decided this would be a great time to appear, coincidentally hiding Bucharis' empire from the Imperium at large. Because travel was all but impossible, Bucharis could suppress knowledge of the Thorian Reformation and let the enslaved masses believe Terra was a corrupt mess led by a bloodthirsty tyrant. As such, Bucharis claimed Terra was a lost cause and humanity should start over, centered on Gathalamor (although, apparently, he wasn't smart enough to think of what would happen to him after the Warpstorms abated). From there, he would conquer the rest of the galaxy, including eventually Terra itself. This did not work because he first tried to invade ''[[Fenris]]'' with Guardsmen and a few religious fanatics. Needless to say, the Wolves were not amused.		As is their wont, a Warp storm decided this would be a great time to appear, coincidentally hiding Bucharis' empire from the Imperium at large.

This one was an actual plague that killed people and turned them into [[Plague Zombies]].

And then the 13th Black Crusade started for real. Really makes you wonder how much people actually trust the Ecclesiarchy. Fanatically worshipful of the Emperor? Yes. Trusting the Ecclesiarchy’s claims to speak for him? Maybe not so much after all.
