"I have become death, destroyer of worlds!"

- the Daemon known as Angus upon his accession to a Daemon Baron

The Depths of the Aluiditerium (The Other world or simply known as the Void within the empire) is the life less dimension that surrounds our space (Immaterium) home to many horrors and devilish beings. Made out of pure psychic energy (Much like the Rin gods and spirits). While the 'Gods' themselves are symbols of order the Daemons are more of symbols of Chaos and pure emotion.

None really knows why the Daemons are even sentient (As the Rin gods require an anchor to stay alive) There are many thousands of theories of why they exist some say they are things of pure emotion leading to the conclusion that the angels of myth are the same but the more 'calm' and 'mellow' emotions while the Daemons are emotions like Rage and Wrath.

No matter the cause they are a serious problem for all life. For every once and awhile a tear between our world and the other will be created (Either Naturally or Man made) at times the tear is harmless and nothing comes forth but others something does and normally it's not friendly.

Now this wouldn't be a major problem if tears where not created that often... Well they are it's how the Rin travel across stars, they travel through artificial tears to travel between our world and the next. Now after many eons they have perfected ways to keep the Daemons at bay for the most part but nothing works 100% of the time. The best example is ships traveling past 5000 light years in the Aluiditerium after this distance most ships find themselves in grave danger either destroyed by the Void itself or attacked by a Daemon within the void.

Now even worse is when a Daemon waits near a hot spot (Like a star gate or commonly open tear) and seeps it's way into our world causing havoc and suffering as it goes. For these things are something else not really part of our world most of our weapons are usless againest them. Very few methods actually can bannish these spirits and even less so can actually 'kill' them.

To Banish you must find the true name of a Daemon (A long tedious process by use of holy runes left by the angels) All Daemons hide their names with a hideous passion for it is the only 'thing' that is a true danger against it. (A Example of a Daemon name would be Ankh'h, it took hundreds of years to actually find out his name. It was only found out after a boast from his very own mouth let it slip) If you found out a Daemons name it is possible to banish the beast back to it's realm for if not forever a substantial amount of time.

The Task of defending the Immaterium from these threats and too keep the empire in essence alive is given to the Ordo Exsilium a branch of the empire that reports to the emperor alone. They are above all else when it comes to the matters of Daemon hunting (Even the Inquisition can be stopped in it's tracks by the Ordo) The Exsilium also has a very special gift. They are allowed to draft anyone or anything from any branch of the Empire to suit their needs allowing them to have access to some of the finest weapons and equipment as well as personnel. They are also the only Ordo that is allowed it's own legion (Save the Inquisition which partly owns the Death Bringers). The Legion is known as the 'Daemon Hunters'.
