Adepta Sororitas Orders of the Leman Sector

Since the 36 Millenium operate His Holy daughters, the Adepta Sororitas, in the Leman Sectors, ranging back just to a few years after Gorge Vandire tricked the Brides of the Emperor and used them as a tool to suppress the faithful for his personal gains. The modern-day Adepta Sororitas instead became during the reformation of Sebastian Thor a force of protection and help for the faithful in the galaxy as in the Leman Sector.

While most people think of the Orders Militant when hearing the official name of the Sisters of Battle, are there still many non-militant Orders like the Orders Hospitaler, the Orders Famulous or the Orders Dialogus and many more. The tasks taken over by the Orders are various and essential either for the Ecclesiarchy, for the common people or the Adeptus Terra. From surprising but logical tasks like partaking in the various elements of religious ceremonies, healing the sick and wounded over teaching and spying on the nobles to translating the various language spoken in the Imperium.

While most Orders operating in the Sector have here only a few Preceptories active, is the Sector also home to a handful of Adepta Sororitas Orders who have their homeworld on one of the many planets. An example of the first case is the Hospitaler Order Order of the Healing Touch, which operates two Preceptories, while the Order Militant Order of the Winged Valkyries base all of their Preceptories in the Sector.

## History

Since the 36 Millenium operate His Holy daughters, the Adepta Sororitas, in the Leman Sectors, ranging back just to a few years after Gorge Vandire tricked the Brides of the Emperor into following him. While the Age of Apostashy didn`t resulted in much warfare in the region, with only the planet of Prixan seeing some skirmishes since it was a bastion for the recruitment of Frateris Templars. A brighter moment was when the Cemetary World of Morten was promised an garrison of Emperors brides to protect the graves and help in the ceremonies.

Afters Sebastians Thors reformation were the now renamed Adepta Sororitas faced with the results of Vandire`s commands and the mistrust of the population.

## Orders Militant

Orders Militant are the armed branch of the Adepta Sororitas protectors of the faithful, cleansers of heresy and thr warriors of faith of the Imperium.

In comparison to other Orders are the Winged Valkyries a relativly young Order and suffered at the beginning lacking funds, limiting them on 2.500 sisters a quarter of their modern number.

### Order of the Blessed Martyr

An Order clad into black and grey are the Sisters of the Blessed Martyr a visible melanchonic Order, having a natural greyish skin often strenghtened by a drug, following the idea of a Death Cult. Heroic deeds and heroic deaths have the same importance like honouring the death. When in combat operate their squads and missions like a type of Light Infantry - one in clade in Power Armour, often on the flanks or in unconventional terrains. Unlike their allies the Winged Valkyries are the Blessed Martyr on the strategic and tactical level operating as a reserve force to fill gaps or to serve divine punishment.

## Orders Hospitaler

Orders Hospitalers are Orders founded to aid the injured and the sick, regadless if they are soldiers or civilians. Hospitaler hospitals can be found everywhere, from the Hive Cities dominating the planets over the battlefields of the Imperium to in some cases even on vessels like hospital vessels or on regular vessels. Each Sister Hospitaler was teached perform even the most difficult medical operation and can defend herself and her patients.

### Order of the Healing Touch

The Healing Touch is a Hospitaler Order native to the region of the Leman Sector and is often found in the Underhives or near battlefields. Since the Order lacks a homeworld has the Healing Touch chosen to allign itself heavily with the Scholar Progenium for new Novices and the Imperial Navy for transport and protection. Unlike other Hospitaler Orders has the Healing Touch dedicated combat squads for protection of its hospitals.

### Order of the Samaritas

The Order of the Samaritas is the seconf major Hospitaler Order in the Leman Sector with a base on the Shrine World of Reims the homeworld of the Winged Valkyries. While most Missions operate outside of the Sector can the Order perform as a first responder for plague outbreaks and disasters.

## Orders Famulous

Orders Famulous are a group of Orders Minoris who serve in the courts of the nobles of the Imperium. Will the nobles believe that the Sisters Famulous serve their goals, is the truth the complete opposite. Neither the schooling of the noble scions nor the diplomacy between the different noble houses are done for them, they are done for the greater Imperium to control the nobles and form their scions into loyal and capable servants of the Emperor. In fact they are a danger for the nobles, since the Sisters spy on them and can arrange assassinations on them.

### Order of the Blue Quill

The Order of the Blue Quill, cognisable through their marine blue robes and blue quills, are the major Order Famulous in the Leman Sector. A sister of this Order is especially versed in the many court cultures in the Sector. Even sisters from humble backgrounds are indistinguishable to sisters hailing from the greatest noble houses. Often found in the greatest Hives are the sisters of the Blue Quill talented administrators in the noble houses and gifted fencers.

## Orders Dialogus

Orders Dialogus are Adepta Sororita Orders founded to translate the myriad languages and dialects existing in the galaxy and even many extinct ones are still known to the Sisters Dialogus. A piquant fact is that those languages include also Xenos languages, something strictly forbidden to the common people.

### Order of the Spoken Lexicon

The Spoken Lexicon is a Order Dialogus deeply enrooted in the admistration of the Leman Sector on the Sector and the Subsector level. Sisters of this Order have also shown to be gifted orators and administrators. The first one can be used by sending them with priests and cardinals to missionary works while the later one is mostly used order intern, something enforced by the local Inquisition to preserve the balance of power.
