Carpocratian Cult Founded

Founding

Marks the death of the defrocked bishop Carpocrates and the birth of the degenerate heresy that bears his name; also the date that made Orc settlements legal entities inside Imperial borders; prior to this they were considered illegal squatters.

Carpocrates was captured by the orc Chirf Andarzul in early 8122 and held prisoner for ransom. Upon discovering how valuable the escapee was to the Imperial Crown, Andarzul negotiated with he Autarch to decree that Orc Settlements inside Imperial borders were no longer to be considered illegal squatters nor subject to indiscriminate attack, looting or destruction. This accomplished, he turned over the prisoner to the Autarch, and the Autarch had him paraded through the streets before his execution in the public square of the Capitol.   Unfortunately this had the opposite of the desired effect; the Autarch's willingness to arbitrarily cede citizen woodlands to the Orcs only exemplified the complaint that Carpocrates had made regarding the unbridled, unfair powers of the Autarch, and in his death he became a martyr and powerful symbol of social discontent.
