History

During one of its tours of the Cadian Gate, the Bell of Saint Gerstahl was on Laurentix with its vanguard of fifty Order of Our Martyred Lady Adepta Sororitas, when the holy relic tolled a dozen times. No one had touched the Bell to cause this to happen and the world's population wailed in ecstasy in response to the miracle. However the tolling signified that a Black Crusade had begun and this was proven correct shortly afterwards, when the Black Legion invaded Laurentix as part of the opening raids of the 12th Black Crusade. As fighting engulfed the world, the Bell of Saint Gerstahl was targeted by the invaders, but the Order of Our Martyred Lady vanguard had sworn to die in its defense, rather than surrender the holy relic.[1]

Though the Adepta Sororitas's lives would end at the Black Legion's hands, the Bell somehow disappeared during the fighting, before the Chaos Space Marines could claim it. While the Imperium believed the holy relic ascended to avoid being captured, in truth it had been stolen by the Necron Overlord Trazyn the Infinite. It was while the Bell's vanguard fought a last stand to defend it, that the Overlord placed the relic in Stasis and escaped with his prize. Trazyn then stored the holy relic among his collections of things on Solemnace.[1]

Sometime later, Laurentix was the site where the Ordo Malleus Inquisitor Cherone was defeated and left for dead by a Keeper of Secrets Greater Daemon he had been pursuing.[2] The Imperium would later lose contact with the world, during the 13th Black Crusade and Laurentix's current status is unknown.[3]
