The Brotherhood of the Horned Darkness is a dangerous and highly organised malefic Chaos Cult whose origins and activities go back according to some sources to the founding of the Calixis Sector and quite possibly beyond.

abstract	The Brotherhood of the Horned Darkness is a dangerous and highly organised malefic Chaos Cult whose origins and activities go back according to some sources to the founding of the Calixis Sector and quite possibly beyond. This cult has been repeatedly smashed time and again over the centuries only to appear again some standard years or decades later. Membership, size, form, and power may vary, but it is always recognisable in its core beliefs and the object of its worship -- the daemon Balphomael, the Horned Darkness. The Brotherhood, known to some as the "Pact of Balphomael" or the "Black Society," is recognised by the Ordo Malleus as a near archetypical daemon-worshipping Chaos Cult, although often better resourced and more dangerous than most. Appealing to the Imperial nobility and the ruling elite who tend toward ambition and megalomania rather than jaded excess or forbidden pleasure, Balphomael's supplicants are often austere, driven, and dangerous individuals who obey their master's teachings and feed his hungry demand for sacrifice and suffering. In the past, multiple groups worshipping the daemon have been in existence at the same time, either kept in ignorance of each other or set up as rivals to prove their worth, depending on their daemonic master's whim. Historically, cults worshipping the Horned Darkness have been discovered as far afield as Landunder, Malfi, and Sepheris Secundus. However, the cult's greatest stronghold in the past, and the place where it has reared its head time and again is mighty Scintilla itself. Here at the heart of the Calixis Sector, the heresy once became so powerful and widespread as to threaten to corrupt the seat of sector government. Some scholars of the forbidden believe that the daemon has some particular connection to this world, which, if it could be somehow broken, may cast it out more permanently and end its malign influence on the sector once and for all. Unfortunately, the past has proven that the threat of the Horned Darkness is not so easily destroyed.
