Elutrian Confederacy
The Elutrian Confederacy is a faction within Navis Nobilite holding a fanatical fetishism of the role the Navigators fill within the Imperium and a distrust towards psykers, considering them an unnecessary risk towards humankind.[1b]
Overview
Elutrian Devotees glorify themselves as the Emperor's chosen guides, meant to lead the masses of humanity towards its purpose, taking their name from a High Gothic word for washing away impurities. Due to scores of years dedicated to fighting a specific cult of psykers, the Confederacy came to view psykers as a thread towards a future they were meant to lead humanity. Backed by Navigators' unparalleled knowledge of the warp, they see even the sanctioned psykers as inevitable catastrophes, fools pretending to master the Warp at constant risk of damnation of themselves and everyone around them.[1b]
Members of the Confederacy are known by their signature and devastating ability to use their third eye and Unbind Warp within a mind of the psyker or even a Daemon, unleashing the chaotic storm that burns its victim from inside.[1c]
While not confined to, the Confederacy is mainly known to consist of various houses within Calixis Sector and Koronus Expanse. Although inherently loyal to the Imperium, the Confederacy lost its major political power due to a disgrace of their leading house, House Typhon declared renegade by Paternova. In times since, many of the tracts penned by the devotees, specifying their beliefs, were proscribed by the Inquisition and condemned by Paternova.[1b]
History
In its nascency Confederacy enamoured varied houses with House Typhon's treating about knowing the true path towards perfection with their champions bringing back, by that time obscure and somehow forgotten, practice of Navigator Duels.[1a]
Their goals of guiding the Imperium brought them into a direct conflict with the Seekers of Daybreak, a cult founded several centuries earlier on Scintilla around the idea of psykers and chaos being the aim that the humanity has to take. During this time, Elutrian Confederacy acquired their current view of even the sanctioned psykers as inherently dangerous persons, fit only for extermination. Throughout the generations of bloody conflict, Navigators of the Confederacy developed techniques particularly designed to combat psykers.[1b]
Eventually Seekers were purged from Scintilla by the Ordo Calixis, however with the fall of House Typhon, Elutrian Devotees were forced to act in shadows of Calixis Sector, or more openly within the wilds of Koronus Expanse, to avoid the persecution by the Inquisition and wider Nobilite.[1b] While obviously impaired in their mission even to this day the Devotees still proselytize within Nobilite, and still finding new willing members.[1c]
