The Cult of the Dragon was a cult within the Adeptus Mechanicus that lived on the Mechanicus' homeworld of Mars in the Noctis Labyrinthus. The cult was regarded as a group of madmen in the desolate region of the Red Planet that they called home, a region that other members of the Mechanicus avoided at all costs. These individuals consisted of Tech-priests who long ago had tried to build their Forges in the region but abandoned them; however, the few that remained behind had formed the cult. The Cult of the Dragon worshipped the entity that is known to slumber deep beneath the Noctis Labyrinthus that some in the Imperium have come to believe may be the hibernating C'tan known as the Void Dragon; others hold that this entity may in fact be the source of the Adeptus Mechanicus' belief in the Machine God.
