The Court of Laoshi, otherwise known as the Cult of Lao, is an ancient myth within the Sea of Fallen Stars. A mysterious organization that is said to be pulling the strings of every event that happens with the Sea, the Court of Laoshi is a myth with it's origins in fact. The Court of Laoshi is very much a real thing. While the few Imperials who know of the myth of the Court may doubt, and even outright laugh at the idea, of a secret society existing within the Holy Imperium of Man others believe in the Court of Laoshi. The Court of Laoshi is a violent, and very secretive, cabal of highly influential individuals within the Imperium that have used their status and power to gain a powerbase within the Sea of Fallen Stars.

To some the mystery of the Court of Laoshi is a fun little tale to tell around a campfire, to others it is something to unravel. And while some might find nothing but deadends and pointless riddles, some find themselves being hunted by the very organization they seek to uncover. Many individuals who find themselves hunted by the Talons of Lao will simply end up dead somewhere in a gutter, or cold and lifeless in their beds. But for those special and rare individuals who come close to unraveling the truth behind the mystery, they are taken deep into the Burrow of the Court to be tortured for years and years in the most cruel ways the Court has devised.

The Myth of the Court has been around since the Sea of Fallen Stars was discovered in M30 by the Rogue Trader Skaro. Spoken in hushed tones and nursery rhymes by the servants of Dynasty Skaro to the heirs of the Warrant of Trader, the Myth of the Court has spread throughout the Sea. The most information one can find about the Court can be located in the Markets of the Ox'arcvor, who although no next to nothing about the truth of the Court have studied the legend of the Court for hundreds of years.
