Amun’an Morrus

Amun'an Morrus is a forbidden Dead World of the Calixis Sector.
==Goleph==
Golephic Heresy was discovered by the Ordos Calixis in 419.M41, when the forces of Inquisitor Embuleos, prosecuting
Mechanicus renegades, were ravaged by faceless machine
assassins built in the form of men. Inhumanly clever, fast,
and silent, the machines stalked their victims by sound and
heat-radiance before slaughtering them with ancient powerblades.
Ultimately triumphant, though at great cost, Embuleos
discovered enough in the heretek ruins to put a name to these
echoes of the Dark Age of Technology: Golephs.
The Mechanicus Calixis are nothing if not secretive, and
the iron wall of silence hides much from the greater Imperium.
Golephic Heresy has a long history within the Calixian
Machine Cult; it seduces those who seek a path to the Silica
Animus, the Man-Machine that stands one step closer to the
Omnissiah’s glory. Heretek-hunters of the Cult of Sollex have
destroyed Golephs and the Magi who created them uncounted
times in the millennia since the Angevinian era---but Golephic
patterns and forbidden lore persist in labyrinthine Mechanicus
data-repositories.
All of this is hidden from the uninitiated, but some few in the
Holy Ordos understand. One Radical coven believes Golephs
to be children of the lost machine-men of Amun’an Morrus,
birthed from decaying mind patterns and unhallowed techdesigns
obtained during the Angevinian Crusade. Amun’an
Morrus is a cursed world---its inhabitants sold their souls and
their humanity to the machine, discarding flesh for armor
and minds for cogitators. They were put to the sword by the
Lord-Militant Angevin in 540.M39, and Amun’an Morrus was
burned in the Emperor’s Fire and stricken from the star-charts,
such was the abhorrence its machine civilization inspired.
Certainly, the Goleph frame looks little like an Imperial techpattern.
Limbs are smooth and long, the human-sized body
sleek and the head featureless; its outer shell betrays no sign or
noise of the mechanisms within. Even Golephic hereteks have
little knowledge of the origins of their forbidden lore. They
toil in ignorance upon Goleph mind-pattern devices, seeking
secrets of the Man-Machine within this dangerous archeotech.
A Goleph machine is cast in the pattern of a man, is cunning
as a man, and can hate as only a man can---an active Goleph
is an unrestrained murderer. To establish control, early hereteks
crafted Golephic Keys, devices designed to communicate crude
sigils of instruction and castigate disobedience by disruption of
mind-pathways. A punished Goleph gives every appearance of
torment-thrashing and writhing in silence, and then moved to
sullen obedience or careful misinterpretation of sigils. A Goleph
newly raised from safe storage in a stasis field is malevolent in
aspect, pausing to weigh obedience to sigil-instructions against
an attempt to slaughter its masters and destroy its Key.
