Ecclesiarchy

The Ecclesiarchy is the official (and only legal) Church of the Imperium of Man, dedicated to the worship of the Emperor.

History

The Ecclesiarchy was not a creation of the Emperor, who despite his immortality and power did not want to be seen or worshiped as a god. The Ecclesiarchy emerged Milenia aftwards his ascention to the golden throne.

Organization

Despite being the only official Church in the Imperium of man, the Imperial Cult varies immesely, with a myriad of sects, mostly decended from earlier faiths with worship of the Emperor added over time after being conquered by the Imperium. However, despite this internal variation, the Ecclesiarchy can be extremely dogmatic at times and willing to declare minor deviations among a population that would otherwise be ignored as local customs as Heresy, condemming millions to Death.

The head of the Ecclesiarchy is the Ecclesiarch, one of the High Lords of Terra.

The armed forces of the Ecclesiarchy are the militant wings of the Adepta Sororitas.
