Hexenstag: Imperium Maledictum

++ TRANSMITTED: [REDACTED] ++
++ RECEIVED: [REDACTED] ++
++ DESTINATION: Acolytes of the Holy Ordos ++
++ AUTHOR: Inquisitor Lothos Gallelis, Ordo Hereticus ++
++ SUBJECT: Proclamation of Service and the Emperor’s Unyielding Will ++
++ THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Let the heretic tremble, for the righteous flame of judgement knows no mercy. ++

By the authority vested in me by the God-Emperor of Mankind, and in the name of the Holy Inquisition of the Ordo Hereticus, I, Inquisitor Lothos Gallelis, do hereby summon you, faithful servants of the Imperium, into my service as my Acolytes.

You have been chosen, not by chance, but by the Emperor’s divine design, to stand as the hidden blade against the corruption that festers within. The enemy is not the xenos at the gates, nor solely the [REDACTED] clawing from the Warp. The true rot lies among us: the mutant hiding in the hive sprawl, the witch who defiles the sacred with foul sorcery, the heretic who whispers lies against the Imperial Creed, and the traitor who would sell his soul for fleeting power. These are the foes I have sworn to purge, and you shall be the instruments of that purge.

My authority is absolute. Where I walk, the laws of men bend or break. My word is as binding as any Edict of Exterminatus. You shall wield this power judiciously, but without hesitation. Those who obstruct the Inquisition obstruct the Emperor Himself. Let none doubt your right, or mine, to command obedience.

My name carries weight across the Calixis Sector. Heretics speak it in hushed terror, for I am the harbinger of their doom. Where whispers of dissent arise, my reputation precedes me like the tolling of a funeral bell. You shall benefit from this fear. Use it as a weapon. Let the guilty confess before you even raise your hand.

I am the Beacon of Judgement. In my presence, the impure are revealed. The Emperor’s light burns through deception, and I shall guide your eyes and hands so that no sinner escapes notice. Together we shall illuminate the shadows where heresy breeds and consign it to purifying flame.

You are now bound to my service. Obey without question. Serve with zeal. The path of the Acolyte is one of vigilance and sacrifice. Failure is not merely personal. It invites damnation upon us all. Be ever watchful, for the enemy is cunning and the stakes are the soul of the Imperium.

Let none mistake my purpose. My deeds shall echo through the annals of the Inquisition. My victories shall bolster the fear and respect owed to our sacred institution. Reputation is the currency of power, and I will amass it in the Emperor’s name, crushing all who stand in opposition.

Yet know this. I brook no deviation. The Imperial Creed is infallible. Pious stipulations govern our every action. Deviations invite corruption. I am dogmatic in my faith, for only unyielding adherence to the Emperor’s truth shields us from the Ruinous Powers. My commands may come abruptly, for time is a luxury the tainted do not grant us. Hesitation is death. Strike first. Strike true.

Be ever vigilant. The witch, the mutant, the heretic, they wear a thousand faces. Trust nothing. Question everything. Report all suspicions to me without delay. Mercy is for the weak. Vigilance is the shield of the faithful.

You serve Inquisitor Lothos Gallelis. Wrathful is my demeanour, for I have seen too much corruption to tolerate it with calm. My anger is a righteous forge that tempers the blade of justice. Wield it well, Acolytes, and you shall earn glory in the Emperor’s sight.

Further instructions will follow via secure channels. Prepare yourselves. The hunt begins.
