Council of Nikaea (Hektor Heresy)

This page details people, events, and organisations from the /tg/ Heresy, a fan re-working of the Warhammer 40,000 Universe.

The Council of Nikaea was called shortly after the Triumph of Ullanor, to address the problem of sorcery in the young Imperium. Darius Cyaxares of the Sand Keepers had presented evidence that the Black Augurs were using sorcery of a foul and corrupting kind. The Emperor was determined to get to the bottom of the problem and safeguard mankind from potential dangers.

The Debate

Two inter-linked questions were addressed. Firstly, had the Black Augurs trafficked with creatures of the Immateria (i.e. Daemons of the Warp, which were presumed at the time to be Xenos of an extraordinary natures)? Secondly, what safe-guards needed to be imposed on psykers in the service of the Imperium, including Space Marine Librarians, to ensure that such foulness did not come to pass in the future?

The Edicts

The Emperor of Mankind ruled against the Black Augurs and the Librarians alike. Recognising Darius' faithfulness and honesty in reporting the incident to him despite the implications for the Sand Keepers, the master of the Imperium spared the lives of the Librarians, but forbade them from using their powers.

A subsidiary decree established the position of Iterator within the Space Marine Legions. Winged Victory's tradition of having its formations policed by Astartes deeply schooled in the Imperial Truth was to be expanded across all of the Legions. Many of the Primarchs resented having Gaspard Lumey's customs imposed upon them.
