Shrine Worlds are worlds devoted to a Saint of the Imperium and are often named in their honour. These worlds attract huge amounts of pilgrims from all over the Imperium. Most shrine worlds usually fall into another category - for example Hagia is an agri world while Herodor is a hive world. They have a strong relationship with the saint in question, such as being the world of his or her birth or martyrdom.
