It did so The cult flourished for a thousand years, due to the corruption of [[Regium]]'s [[Planetary Governors]], which allowed Nahor's faith to spread across the world , and many temples were constructed in her honor. The Goddess' followers also honored her by planting seeds under their skin, while also caging their skin with tangled piercings of knotted wood and metal. A a massive{{Fn|1c}} breed of [[Calefaction Pump|tree]] on the world were also the focal points of Nahor's religion{{Fn|1b}}, as they were treated as sacred sites of the Goddess{{Fn|1c}}. The trees' roots were also of much importance, as Nahor's dead worshipers were buried with them{{Fn|1b}} and placed within the trees' inner walls{{Fn|1c}}. Their sacred art also depicts the roots snaking down to encase the world's core{{Fn|1a}}. Her white, rune-stitched robed priests{{Fn|1c}}, known as the '''Keft'''{{Fn|1e}}, were the guardians of these world roots{{Fn|1d}} and claimed they formed a chamber within the core of Regium and would protect Aureus Nahor's followers in their times of need. Though the [[Emperor]] was treated as a separate god, Aureus Nahor's followers also worshiped Him and He played a part in the Goddess' mythology. According to the Keft, should Regium ever fall from the Emperor's grace, He would light a fire within its core that would tear the world apart.{{Fn|1e}}

'''Aureus Nahor''' is a nature goddess, whose religion once flourished on the [[Imperial]] world [[Regium]].{{Fn|1b}}
==History==
However Aureus Nahor's religion came to an end in [[M42]], when the [[Ultramarines]] [[Space Marine Lieutenant|Lieutenant]] [[Varus Castamon]] led a large [[Imperial]] strike force to [[Regium]]. He was charged with turning it into a part of the Imperium's vital [[Sanctus Line]] and drastic change would need to be done to secure the world. This included having Regium's [[Planetary Governor]] executed for corruption and also putting an end to Nahor's religion. [[Confessor]] [[Thurgau]] was largely in charge of this and though the Goddess' worshipers resisted at first, most stopped after the strike force gave them two revelations. The first, was that the Goddess trees, which were of such importance to her religion, were actually{{Fn|1b}} [[Geoengines]] known as [[Calefaction Pump]]s, which had terraformed Regium so that it could support life{{Fn|1c}}. The second, was that those who refused to follow the Imperial Creed were destroyed by the Imperium. Nahor's worshipers were informed that would have been their fate, had the [[Ultramarines]] not been at the head of the strike force. Due to the [[Space Marines]]' presence and the revelations brought to them, the Goddess' worshipers were allowed the time to accept that their religion was no more. Their leader, [[Vela Zalth]], aided in this transition period and all this allowed Confessor Thurgau to convert the worshipers into the Imperial Creed, without a drop of blood being spilled.{{Fn|1b}}
