Imperialis Verum

## Declaration of Purpose

"Upon his enthronement, the vision the Emperor foresaw for all mankind dimmed until naught could see it through the long dark tunnel. Those whose hearts have been blackened by greed and temptation have twisted this dream, led the loyal and faithful astray with their guile and trickery. But those who remember, those who hear him in the darkest era of the Imperium, have rallied as one and now strike his foes down with an inexorable righteous hammer.

"His enemies are legion, an endless tide of treachery and death. Yet we are his people, those he has chosen to endure unending torture and suffering so we might live one minute more. But his sacrifice is no longer enough to stem the tides.

"Together, as Imperialis Verum, an impregnable wall of those marching toward his vision awaits to meet the traitor, the heretic and the Xeno alike. So come ye tired, the downtrodden and disillusioned, be embraced as brothers and sisters in a galaxy with no true safehaven.

"Fight for the future of mankind!

"There will be no wrath greater than that of those who have been smashed against the rocks; those who have seen friends and families burn; those who can no longer see the light at the end of the tunnel!
"Ave Imperator! Ave Homines!"

## Oath of Service

There are a great many horrors within this new dark millennium, threats with which the Imperium of Mankind is no longer capable of overcoming as the stagnant, fetid pool of cruelty it is now. As such, it falls to Imperialis Verum to strike out and clear the waters--fighting for the weak and giving hope to those the Emperor Himself gave so much to protect. Thus do the tenets of Verum’s code do arise, adages by which to follow and abide as one would guidelines.

* Protection of those who fight alongside us against the Xeno and the Heretic is paramount, just as defending those who cannot fight for themselves is. For we are their shield, their sword and glimmering armour--it is we who stand against the freezing night.

* We all are the children of mankind, no matter what ethos or bodily deviancy afflicts us. Together we are one, a single bastion of uncontested might. No matter what, we must set aside our squabbles, our differences and be united as Humanity always was meant to be.
	+ To turn one’s nose up at a loyal denizen for mere deformities, to denounce another for disillusionment--all of this and more is the brand of the inhumane and must be rebuked at every turn.
	+ But for those whose hearts are blackened by hate, whose souls are lost to depthless seas of cruelty, whose minds are twisted with malicious deceit, creatures of avarice and ambition with no desire to make amends--a quick end awaits at the hands of the loyal and true. It is the greatest kindness we can give to the truly lost.

* Fairness and honesty are the tools by which the bonds of brotherhood and sisterhood are maintained.

* We are the sons and daughters of mankind, united by purpose and shared heritage which transcends blood and genes. Anger, sorrow and fear are as second nature to we as joy, laughter and courage is. To be ashamed of even a single facet of this, our condition, is to be ashamed of being human. Never be ashamed of being human, always seek to be better, to do better, but never think the worst of these things make you lesser.
