Storm Wardens - Storm Wardens: The Storm Wardens is a Codex Astartes-compliant, Loyalist Space Marine Chapter of unknown genetic origin and Founding located on the Forbidden World of Sacris in the Calixis Sector of the Segmentum Obscurus. The Storm Wardens are stoic defenders of Mankind often found upon the borders of the Imperium.Until just recently, these Astartes were most focused upon the great Warp storms that troubled the Halo Stars region of the Segmentum Obscurus on the galaxy's western edge. There, they protect Imperial frontier planets from the predatory actions of xenos, Chaos Renegades and Heretics.They are often unknown and unsung heroes to the worlds that they defend, as the Storm Wardens are a highly insular Chapter and there are only a small handful of monuments and Imperial records outside of their fortress-monastery on their homeworld of Sacris' moon of Highcastle that celebrate their long list of battle honours.A bizarre twist of fate occurred in the depths of the 36th Millennium, during the Age of Apostasy -- an event that many hold responsible for the Chapter's aloof nature. The Storm Wardens lost many of the records of their Founding during what later became known as the Nemesis Incident in roughly 945.M36. This event began during an ill-omened joint operation involving elements of the Inquisition against the Enslaver infestation of the Steropes Cluster.It is unknown exactly what transpired amongst Steropes' cyclopean ruins, but the aftermath of this campaign forever altered the destiny of the Storm Wardens Chapter. Upon the conclusion of the Nemesis Incident, the serving Storm Wardens Chapter Master, Owin Glendwyr, consulted with an Inquisitor Lord of the Ordo Xenos upon a most dire decision. The Chapter Master sealed many sections of the Storm Wardens' fortress-monastery by the authority of the High Lords of Terra.All traces of their history and even the proud legacy of their heritage to one of the primarchs were destroyed or hidden away. The Storm Wardens' homeworld of Sacris was forbidden to have greater contact with the Imperium at large. The only sanctioned record of that time, the Liber Tempest, claims that many Storm Wardens were placed in hidden stasis vaults, including the Chapter Master and the entire Veteran 1st Company. The Chapter's Dreadnoughts are the guardians of these hidden chambers, and each has taken a vow of silence, standing as mute sentinels over these forbidden places.After the Nemesis Incident, the Chapter re-built its 1st Company. These honoured battle-brothers know themselves as the "The Inheritors", custodians of the Chapter's honour until the day their ancestors rise from their timeless slumber. Ever since this time, the Storm Wardens have redoubled their diligence, and their fortress-monastery mounts sophisticated scanning technology placed reluctantly by the Adeptus Mechanicus as payment for an ancient pact.Currently, the Chapter is led by Lorgath Maclir, a cunning strategist who constantly challenges his captains with tactical exercises and obsessively studies the Tactica Imperialis. Some rumours claim that Lorgath has managed to memorise these precepts of war, an impressive feat even for a Space Marine's genetically enhanced memory.
