Ordo Hereticus Analysis: Mantle and Flood Worship
This document has been made to assist our agents understand the new rising threat in the Imperium, and in this case beyond.
As of this moment there have been increasing numbers of cases of Heresy, although thankfully not in worship of the Great Enemy or the Devouring Tyranids. No, these new heresy's are that of a new variety and are thankfully more often than not less malicious but no less a threat to the Imperium. This threat? It is Mantle and/or Flood worship.
Section 1: Mantle Worship
Mantle Worship is paradoxically the easiest and hardest to deal with, as it is all dependent of a number of factors. Firstly is that a number of Mantle Worshipers also still worship the God-Emperor, with their beliefs being more of a practice issue. Many of these style of Worshipers believe that the Emperor had done the Great Crusade and forced the Imperial Truth to attempt to enforce the mantle in a Galaxy overran with chaos, they have been known to describe the God-Emperors actions in the crusades and before his internement to the Golden Throne as the 'Sweetest Tragedy'. It should be noted that the word 'sweet' and other words like it are used as describers for pains and tragedy's that are necessary in their living universe belief. These Worshiper whom are often called 'the Silent' for their more often than not 'quite' beliefs are more often then not, not a problem to anyone but the most zealous and orthodox of the Imperial Cult. Even then though there has been a growing number in the Cult that have picked up a number of beliefs of the Mantle, primarily that of Humanity's grand duty of the 'Inheritors' belief. much to many a zealots dismay.
Which leads us second most popular of Mantle Worship, the Inheritors.
The Inheritors follow beliefs closer to the old Imperial Truth beliefs, believing that our God-Emperor is not a God at all but a man that has reached the final evolution of mankind. This put them in contempt with the Imperial Cult more often then not, but their beliefs in Humanities right place as the rightful rulers of the Galaxy has let them be accepted amongst the Imperial populous. Their beliefs whilst not technically illegal in Imperium law thanks to the Emperors decree, is very much frowned upon. So much so that there are reports of Inheritor enclaves forming to protect themselves from Zealots and persecutors, it has also been noted that there has been a increase of Astarte's aspirants recruited from these enclaves. Primarily from Astarte's chapters that still follow the Imperial Truth.
Inheritor groups and Astartes chapters that recruit from them are to be monitored, as the possibility of renegades have increased from friction between Inheritor beliefs and the Imperium's wider spread Emperor worship.
The third of the most common form of Mantle worship is perhaps the most dangerous and Heretical, that of the 'Purists'. The Purists do not follow Imperial conventions, do not let their name fool you. They follow a form of belief that closely follow precursor history, primarily that of the Warps twisted origins and that of the Bitter Whispers. And thus have a hate for all things related to the Warp, so much so that they openly decry the Emperor. As you can guess these worshiper does not get the benefit of the doubt and are hunted down when discovered ruthlessly. However they are just ruthless with their action as they have been know to assassinate Navigators, attempt to destroy Warp engine manufactoriums and kidnap Blanks. The assassinations of psykers and the destruction of Warp related material makes sence when you look at their beliefs, but the kidnap of Blanks are more...insidious. Their beliefs make it so that people that carry the 'Pariah gene' are very much desired, so much so that they try to spread the genes with or without the carriers permission. This can either let the Blank have a good level of power and privilege in the Purists cult, or suffer a fate that this one wouldn't wish upon his fellow human. It is unsurprising that Purist groups are the least respected and/or liked amongst the Flood and Mantle worshiping groups, with many distancing themselves from them whenever possible.
Section 2: Flood Worship
Flood Worship is separate, but linked to Mantle Worship as one can Worship the Mantle without worshiping the Flood but one can't worship the Flood without also Worshiping the Mantle. Making it so that there is a fair amount of overlap in their beliefs. But Flood Worship more often than not has more radical beliefs, and I don't just mean their worship of the Xenos race.
The first group that should be mentioned are the fathers of the 'Children of the Mantle', a group of specialized Flood Worshipers called 'The Enlightened'. These Enlightened purposefully allow themselves to become infected to try and gain audience with the believed Flood intelligence called 'Tide'. After doing so a number of these worshipers gain access to what they call 'Ancestral Echos', supposed memories of our ancestors past. The Enlightened use these not only use these 'Echos' to tell the stories of the past, but also use them to create technology once lost to us. Many of the Mantle's and Floods worshipers respect this group, either openly or privately. They are however considered to the wider Imperium to to be traitors and renegades, and dangerous ones as well. Not much is known about this group other then what they want the public to know. But what we do know is that when one is found it is often a sign of a Flood infection about to happen, or is currently happening.
The second group are called the 'Seekers of Injustice', the Seekers are less of a single group and more of a of a collective of people that follow similar beliefs. Seekers are more often than not people whom infect themselves or originate from Flood infested worlds that seek out 'corrupt' worlds for the Flood to spread to. More often than not they are singular agents that travel from world-to-world looking for any quote-unquote 'injustices' done to the populous, if the world has done not or is 'minor' the world is either left to it's own devices or has a faction from the Children come to them to deal with the issues. However if the World is deem 'Corrupt' than the Seeker will use his connection to the Flood to tell them of the world. This will mean that either a Flood force with come for the world, or that the Seeker will sacrifice their body to start a infection process. The Seekers thanks to their nature are difficult to find and are deemed a major threat.
The third and final group for this analysis are called 'The Nihilists', the Nihilists are often found fighting along side with the Flood openly and are more often then not Zealous in their beliefs. Nihilist believe that Humanity in its current state can't inherit the Mantle and must repent of many of its actions in the last ten thousand years, and thus give themselves to the Flood willingly for combat infection. These Zealots often throw themselves at their enemies with reckless abandon so that if they fail their bodies maybe used to further the Floods goals, they often care for nothing of themselves and will do anything in their power to complete their goal. The irony is, is that many of these Nihilists often practice many forms of art before they throw themselves onto the field with many saying 'how can I die for Humanity if I don't know what it means to be human?' many Flood worshipers say that 'the Tide' weeps for them, with them supposedly saying that 'the sweetness of their sacrifice shall be remembered in the gave we all shall share'.
Worship of the Mantle is growing daily, and so is the worship of the Flood. The Inquisition needs to curtail this quickly before the damage done become too much.
