Tormented is a Successor Chapter created of the remnants of many loyalists during the Horus Heresy, created during the Second Founding. Probably one of the only known examples of surviving loyalist offspring from traitor legions, it is also made up of members from loyal legions who were separated from their original legions when the Heresy began, a strange combination that has somehow continued it's survival to this day, but not without controversy.

## History

When the Horus Heresy ended with Horus Lupercal being struck down and the Emperor of Mankind being interred on the Golden Throne, the Imperium of Man was in shambles, and still had to deal with xenos threats on all sides and the traitors who were fleeing into the Eye of Terror. When Primarch Roboute Guilliman implemented the Codex Astartes for Legions to be broken down into chapters, he had to take into account the leftover loyalist survivors from traitor legions and the scattered remnants of those from loyalist legions who's companies and battalions were all but destroyed. Under desperate need of new chapters to deal with the ever-growing and the new threat of Chaos bearing down on the Imperium, the codex-divergent Chapter called Tormented was created, it's name both a moniker and an adjective for those who survived the Heresy instead of dying with their brothers. Under the ever watchful eye of the newly-christened Inquisition and the Primarchs (before their eventual disappearance) this Chapter created 20 companies to separate the battle brothers into their respective former legion numbers, each eventually growing into varying sizes and essentially being mini-chapters in organization. Each were complemented with their own scouts, naval ships, headquarters unit with an overarching command set to watch over the entire chapter. However, it's creation and survival has always been viewed with heavy suspicion and for good reason. Any action that could be interpreted as heretical without Inquisitorial assistance and any viewpoint that could be traitorous will spell the end for this Chapter, no matter their deeds in battle or how many times they've proved their loyalty.

## Homeworld

The homeworld, Repentance, is separated into 5 continents. Two are connect on the Eastern Hemisphere while the three others are connected in the Western Hemisphere. Each hemisphere holds a unique group of cultures separating itself apart from the others. While some are nomadic tribesmen that hold similar futures to the Mongols of Ancient Terra, others are barbaric seafarers, while another culture may be an artistic civilization with huge, standing armies and monuments built of interplanetary heroes. The names given in each of these cultures vary, anywhere from Asiatic names to names with Gaulish roots. These names are usually kept when they become Space Marines.

## Chapter Recruitment

The Nameless recruit from their homeworld of Repentance, a fiery Death World similar to Nocturne. The people come from hardy, resolute clans who wage wars against the local wildlife and each other. Chosen by the combined efforts of Librarians, Chaplains and Apothecaries, the ones who are picked at either a young age or from watching them prove themselves in feats or battle. They are usually trained for several years in the arts of smithing, meditation, and ancient hand-to-hand combat. Becoming a neophyte occurs after, which includes years of rigorous physical and mental training, smithing, learning the arts and styles of war throughout history, and weapons training among other things before the implantation process to become a scout.

## Chapter Appearance

The chapter is less prideful on it's heritage, focusing on a more reasonable approach when in conflict. In desert environments the chapter camoflauge's it's armor in shades of pink, brown and tan. In jungle and forest environments the color is painted in shades brownish-green and black, and on ice worlds the shading is white. However their ceremonial (and sometimes in-combat) color is simply black.
