Take your favorite fandoms with you and never miss a beat. Death itself, of course, is not such a threat; prophecies of one’s own death merely provide the chance to get your affairs in order first. The Cult of Morr is one of the most widespread cults in the Old World. Autek Mor was a war leader wrought in the crucible of the earliest battles of the Great Crusade, a Terran-born Legionary of the Xth Legion who had bought the right to command his own clan with the blood of its former lord. Accommodation for the priests is normally built along one wall of the Garden. Anmelden Registrieren. Jump to: navigation. Though the entire world was evidently doomed, the invaders' objective in launching their attack, which had yet to be revealed, might now have failed. Very few temples are so busy that the priests have no free time at all. [1a], The fundamental belief of the cult is that the dead face grave perils if they are not sent to Morr’s protection with the proper rites. Outside funerals, most people pray to Morr only in this capacity,[1a] although he is unlikely to divulge anything not related to death.

The massed warships of the orbital reserve were burning and the vox-net was drowned in the bellows of rage and denials. As the Iron Hands Thunderhawks blasted off from the surface, the bulk of the civilian population, which had fled into hiding during the sudden assault, nervously rejoiced and came forth, little knowing what would come next. [1b], Most people think that priests of Morr are all dour, solemn, quiet individuals. Wasting no time, seats of government were blasted to rubble, and those in positions of power that had aided the Traitors or sided with their cause were methodically hunted down and executed, save for a select number of prisoners deemed to have potentially useful information, who were dragged screaming back to the Red Talon's gunships.
