=== History ===

Eternum was spared invasion during the first ~~poxwar~~ with the Imperium stopping the invasion before it reached the heart of Eternum, but Tetuanis has been the site of conflict in the past. The Horus Heresy saw terrible fighting on Tetuanis, but the largest conflict happened several ~~millenia~~ later. In the 35th millennium, Tetuanis was embroiled in a costly civil war between the Union of Represented Hives and the Confederacy of Nobles. The Union, led by the seneschal turned governor Abramoff Grant (who, contrary to Tetuanis's traditions, seized power by declaring a permanent state of emergency after the previous governor died under suspicious conditions) aimed to remove the nobility's right to govern their holdings, instead replacing them with an an electoral system who would all report to him. The nobility banded against the Union, bringing their hive guard and PDF loyal to the previous governor to fight against the masses of menials and PDF loyal to the new governor and his allies. The Union were comprised of heavily armed troops in ostentatious purple and green armor, along with hordes of menials promised freedom and given a gun. The Confederacy of Nobles was comprised of the personal guard of the nobles, wearing blue, and their hive guards and loyalist PDF, wearing grey.

The Union, desperate to break the stalemate before Imperial reinforcements arrived (who, through noble connections and the bulk of Tetuanis Guard coming from the noble's hives), unsealed ancient biological weapons and fired them at the hive. The Confederacy of Nobles had always had strong faith in the Emperor, and as the biological warning vox alarms blared, they prayed for salvation. To their amazement, the biological warheads fell short of their target. Whether due to the ancient weapons targeting cogitators failing, or divine intervention none could say. Regardless, the result was the same. Hordes of menials and Union troopers fell, afflicted with the same disease they hoped to kill the Confederates with. The Confederacy seized the advantage and pushed out of the hive, slaughtering the sick traitors, and struck the Union's leadership down in Hive City Hyacinthum. This was a brutal battle that saw Hyacinthum utterly ruined, with whole spires collapsing and hive quakes that are frequent even today. As the Confederacy pushed into Hyacinthum deeper and deeper, the taint of the warp became more and more apparent, with daemons spawning to assist the Union during the final push to topple Grant. There are whispers that the later heresy that spawned out of Hyacinthum came from a pact Abramoff Grant made with a daemon of nurgle, his failed attack due to the whims of the daemon. In honor of the confederate sacrifice, all Tetuanis regiments wear blue and grey, an easy choice for an urban focused regiment). Even millennia later, the civil war is still a strong memory and menials are watched closely, less they revolt again.
