Bibliotheca Imperialis

Hagiographia

The Imperial Cult's catalogue of saints — those whose martyrdoms have been canonised by the Ecclesiarchy, those whose miracles have been documented by surviving witnesses, those whose intervention has been credited with the salvation of an Imperial world or a faltering Crusade. The Living Saints walk beside their long-dead predecessors in the Cult's reading of M42.
