After I moved the blog I will try once more old items that are remained to be completed and put online here at last. The first makes today the draft of the background story of my sisters Sisters of Battle. Depending on whether the automatic import is done soon, might follow another 1-2 more old entries.
About the Order
The Sisters of the Holy Lance are on a mission lasting for centuries. Your sacred duty is to discover Holy Places to free if they find it occupied by heretics and to protect the pilgrims. They will be accompanied by a delegation of the Inquisition and the Ecclesiarchy to assist them in their holy mission, and monitor, in the case of the Inquisition.
The Order does not have a monastery, as they are by their mission in constant motion. However, they are based on liberated planets often small convents in order to fulfill its mission of protecting the pilgrims can.
The foundation of the Order few months after the founding of the Order of Saint Rose by Ekklesiarch Deacis VI had, Sister Odilia of the Order of the Silver Shroud a vision. In her dream seemed to her the Saint Sebastian Thor. He was standing on a planet that did not know her in a beautiful chapel, where people were kneeling and praying. In his hands he held an energy lance. But suddenly rushed in. people. They slaughtered the believers and began to destroy the sacred images and to desecrate with heretical character. And they carried away a weapon that was down to the smallest detail of the possible weapon in the hands of Sebastian Thor. The vision was changing. She saw herself as Sebastian Thor handed her the gun. But she was not wearing the colors of their order. Instead of her silver Armor with a white dress she wore an ivory dress with a red border defense, but the vision changed again. She saw herself as she led a large army with the Sisters of Battle lance into battle with flaming zeal and drove through the ranks of the heretics.
When she told the Prioris of their vision that they immediately gave the Inquisition, as they feared she was touched from the taint of the warp. Odilia had questioned the good fortune of becoming Thorian Inquisitor Christopher Bram. Each amalathianische Inquisitor would have probably executed immediately but after intensive and cruel tests, the inquisitor was sure the emperor had spoken about the Holy Sebastian Thor to Odilia. Together they tried to understand the vision. Bram felt the vision in its entirety to understand they must first find the place and the lance from their vision.
He confronted Ekklisiarchie and the Order of their claims immediately a mission under the leadership of Odilia him and to put together to find the holy places and sacred artifact of Sebastian Thor and secure. But the resources for such a mission was scarce, with the exhumation of the new Order had the resources for such a large mission over scarce. Also, the Ordo Malleus and especially the Amalthianer saw the mission and, above all, Odilia suspicion, some Inqusitoren were therefore up to the orders and made sure that the mission was equipped with ridiculously small means. Only 150 nurses and very few heavy support should embark on this sacred mission.
Against all odds, it succeeded Odilia after 40 year search among the billions of planets of the Empire to find the one that showed her Sebastian Thor in their vision. The entire planet was infested with a chaos cult. However, Odilia and Bram were each claim to the Inquisition immediately exterminate the planet, contrary decision. With only 80 remaining two sisters and the Land Raider Immolatoren the Inquisitor led an assault Odilia. The heretics were the holy zeal of the sisters to oppose anything and fled headlong from the purifying fire. On 3 Odilia days reached the chapel with only 11 sisters and the Inquisitor. The Land Raider they must also leave. After 1 more day, they were able to penetrate into the chapel and there to destroy entrenched cultists.
Inside the chapel, they found the spear out of their vision. The gun was flawless, although the cultists apparently they had tried to desecrate by unholy symbols and blood sacrifice. But none of the icons, or it was corrupted blood will stick to the weapon. As
Odilia grabbed the gun appeared to her gate again. He called for a new order to set up whose sole purpose would be to liberate holy sites like this and never allow again that pilgrims were slaughtered in these holy places.
took after her return to orbit, they immediately contacted the Ekklisiarchie and the Inquisition. With the sacred weapon to prove the correctness of their vision and by the fact that there have been another vision of Sebastian Thor on the planet had remained the Inquisition no other choice than calling for a holy war to give in and so the planet with the help of 2 Order of the Sisters of Battle and a Space Marine from the taint of chaos order completely cleaned.
After the fighting was finished after several months, the chapel was carefully rebuilt and there was founded the Order of the Holy Lance. Odilia was appointed Principalis of the new order. They decreed that their order should never belong to more than 150 sisters fighting in order to honor the original mission. The Inquisition placed the order a permanent should monitor Inquisitor to side, partly to support the order but most of all.
The Lost Land Raider was repaired and decorated with images from the Battle of the chapel.
The Order treats him self as a sacred artifact and provides it with the current Inquisitor always available.
