Exorcists - Chapter Relics: Serpent Staff of Sabazius - A Force Staff formerly carried by the famed Exorcists Epistolary Sabazius, this weapon was as much a symbol of office as a potent weapon through which he was able to focus his arcane psychic powers. This master-crafted weapon was wrought for him by the finest Artificers of the Chapter, a weapon thought lost along with all traces of the Epistolary himself. The so-called Serpent Staff resided in Watch Fortress Erioch in the Jericho Reach, set into a niche within Sabazius' cell when the Epistolary disappeared during his last mission. Legends state that, at the very moment of its owner's descent into the raging fires of the crater on the world of Andronicus Prime, the staff came alive in its resting place, its rigid form twisting like that of a reptile, an event that earned it its title. Though the transformation was only temporary and witnessed only by Deathwatch Chapter serfs, it was later declared a genuine miraculous phenomenon. The Serpent Staff was transplanted from its resting place in the cell of the lost Epistolary and placed within the Catacombs of Watch Fortress Erioch along with countless other sacred relics of the Long Watch. Within a solar day, however, the staff was found to be missing, and following an exhaustive search it was discovered in its original resting place, in the niche in its former owner's cell. Since that time, the Serpent Staff of Sabazius has been carried into battle by numerous subsequent generations of Deathwatch Librarians. Several have fallen in battle while carrying it, and in at least three known instances the staff has somehow returned to its resting place even when its bearer's body was unrecovered. The staff was even returned to the Exorcists Chapter itself at one time, yet a standard year later it was found back in its niche on Erioch. As a result, the former cell of Epistolary Sabazius has been declared sacred ground, and it is maintained as a shrine to the fallen hero of the Scouring of Andronicus Prime. This curious Force Staff possesses a number of odd qualities. First and foremost, this weapon refuses to be separated from the Deathwatch Librarian who has requisitioned it.Cessation - Cessation is an ancient Bolt Pistol. When the halls of the Basilica Malefex ring with a single discharge from this ancient bolt pistol, it is a sobering reminder of the Chapter's chilling initiation practices, and what they must do to fight their great enemy.Exile Plate - Etched into the ceramite of this suit of power armour are powerful wards and hexagrams of exile. With the culmination of the Chapter's anagogic knowledge adorning every aspect of its surface, the bearer purges those black of soul and corrupted by the power of Chaos, particularly Daemons.Expulsiaris - The length of this master-crafted Power Sword burns with an inextinguishable white flame, exemplifying the unquenchable resolve that burns within the Exorcists. It is a guiding light when the Chapter is most beset by the darkness, and when its edge strikes, it sets a fire in the souls of the enemy.Hellslayer - The Hellslayer is a massive, master-crafted, barbed and sigil-etched Power Maul wielded by the captain of the 3rd Company of the Exorcists, Silas Alberec. It is a deadly bane to the witch and the Daemon, and is crafted from ultra-dense alloys so heavy only a warrior of Alberec's massive stature could wield it. Reputedly this weapon was gifted to him personally by the Holy Ordos of the Inquisition for reasons that remain shrouded in secrecy.Silent Cry - This Stalker Pattern Bolter forged by the Exorcists reaped a great toll on insurgent leaders and foul xenos beasts during the Angevin Crusade into the Calyx Expanse, striking through impregnable defences to slay the enemy before they even became aware of the danger. The commanders of the Achilus Crusade have recently learned that this famous weapon now rests in the hands of the Deathwatch, and lobby with all their efforts to see it put to similar use on their behalf in the Jericho Reach. Some in the Deathwatch are sympathetic, arguing that the weapon calls out to be wielded on crusade once more.
