Chapter One: Oblate
He had been an outsider since the moment he rejected the Empire and entered the rebellion.
The general staff was elated when they were informed that he was ordered to leave military service and enter the priest hood. Regardless of the fact that this was yet again, another transcendent movement between castes.

It was another unprecedented event for the entire Empire to celebrate; his rise from the status of a rebel, and an outcast, to the most exalted class of being.
His followers throughout the Empire grew by an order of magnitude.

His home planet became a place of pilgrimage
