Trail of Saint Evisser
|
This page contains spoilers for: | Grey Knights (Novel) |
The Trail of Saint Evisser a collection of systems located on the far western edge of the Segmentum Solar, visited in pilgrimage by Kelkannis Evisser, an obscure Administratum officer who mysteriously turned into an Imperial Saint.
This tract of frontier space is so named because of the unwavering faith that the saint brought to the collection of worlds that he visited. During his travels, the saint moved from world to world working miracles in the name of the Emperor. As the saint grew in fame, more people flocked to the planets he had visited in hopes of seeing him. These pilgrims brought much-needed prosperity with them and, in thanks, the powerful and wealthy constructed shrines and chapels bearing the name of Saint Evisser.[1]
As the Imperium grew, shipping lanes began to bypass the trail and the former prosperity slipped away causing widespread poverty. The nobles of the Trail, who had so lavishly decorated all of the worlds, moved on, leaving the lower classes to continue their toil in the Emperor's name. As the centuries passed the trail fell further and further into decay.[Needs Citation]
Notable Events
Most notably, the trail was the site of the attempted re-manifestation of the daemon Ghargatuloth, also known as The Prince of a Thousand Faces. This re-manifestation led to the rise of anarchists throughout the Trail in order to confuse Imperial forces attempting to defeat the daemon. Most notable of the Imperial retaliation was a strike force of Grey Knights led by Justicar Alaric.[1]
