Admonition - Admonition: The Admonition, also known as the Cult of Admonition, is a Chaos Cult dedicated to Nurgle, the Chaos God of disease and despair, that exists within the lower and middle reaches of Hive Tertium, the primary hive city of Atoma Prime, the capital world of the Moebian Domain of the Imperium. Imperial forces who confront these cultists have nicknamed them "Dregs."The word "admonition" means a firm, authoritative, or harsh warning, reprimand, rebuke, or counsel. The majority of the Heretics of the cult encountered by Imperial forces spout some line mentioning "truth." This "truth" is likely what the cultists admonish the population to accept -- the insane ideology of Nurgle, which basically calls upon mortals to embrace the inevitability of rot, decay, disease and death in order to be freed by the Plague Lord from the fear and despair such outcomes produce.The Dregs' primary objective seems to be summoning Nurgle's Daemons into realspace by weakening the veil between the Warp and the mortal universe through the unleashing of death on a truly massive scale across Tertium using the Plague Lord's supernatural diseases. All across Tertium the Heretics have written in the Dark Tongue portions of a Daemonic summoning ritual that claims, "Nurgle shall be called with Death."The cultists' willing embrace of Nurgle seems to have its root, like many Chaos Cults active in the Imperium, in the rage and hatred the Emperor's subjects so often feel towards the difficult circumstances of their lives. The hordes of still-living Dregs seen roaming Tertium's lower levels can be heard chanting, "rage, rage, rage" in an unending cacophony.This is the hatred the cultists feel for the corrupt ruling-class of Atoma Prime and the Moebian Domain; the endless cabal of greedy nobles squabbling in pointless struggles for power while the hive city and the greater Moebian Domain rots and crumbles around them, its people living lives oppressed by tyranny and economic deprivation.Little is done by the Imperial elite to counteract the entropic decay of this microcosm of the larger Imperium, and so the cult's "admonition" could be less of a warning than simply the attempt to make the physical reality of Hive Tertium and Atoma Prime accord with the metaphysical truth that has defined them for millennia -- that they are stagnant and rotten to the core. As such, embracing Nurgle can be seen by the cultists as obtaining a form of "freedom" from the oppression and poverty of life in the Imperium, however insane and twisted.In the Era Indomitus, the Admonition unleashed the Walking Pox upon the hive city and a swarm of undead Zombies and Poxwalkers soon began to assault the lower reaches of Hive Tertium. To deal with the undead threat, the elite Moebian 6th Regiment was redirected from frontline deployment in the Fringe War to assist in combating the Nurglish corruption.Instead, the Chaos-corrupted Astra Militarum regiment turned on the people it had sworn to protect and began to support the uprising as a Traitoris Militarum force dedicated to overthrowing Imperial rule on Atoma Prime and spreading the dark "truth" of Nurgle and Chaos to all its people.To stop this growing corruption, the Inquisition under the command of the Ordo Hereticus Inquisitor Grendyl recently deployed its forces, including large groups of Acolytes, into Hive Tertium in a race against time to save the hive city before the cult's corruption can grow into a cancer that could consume the world, or even eventually threaten the entire Moebius Domain.
