===As They Know It===
As far as anyone in-universe is concerned, something called the Nemesis Incident happened some time during the end of the [[Age of Apostasy]]. The incident caused the Storm Wardens to seal their history (including information such as: who was their [[Primarch]] and when were they founded) and put both their first company and Chapter Master in stasis pods, somewhere deep in their fortress monastery. The [[what|crippled Chief Librarian]] during this incident, Brin Maxenat, wrote a tome discussing some of the things the chapter was doing during the Age of Apostasy, and read his works to his disciples. Upon his death, others in the Librarium read what he wrote and found out that there were different versions of the texts. Some of the differences were so big, that some thought they had been altered at some point, and schisms in the chapter nearly ensued. Several librarians decided to get together and figure out what was true, until one text was decided on. These texts were also named after those who compiled them, so if you're sensing some real world parallelisms, you're probably not too far off. Only senior officers are allowed access to the text though, and so [[Dark Angels|only a select few in the chapter know of their happenings during this time.]] Some of the Dreadnoughts, who were also around at the time of the incident, actually know where the Veterans and Chapter Master are (somebody had to read those Space Marines their bed time story, tuck them in and plug in the nightlight). However, just like British royal guards, they just stand around silently. So, nobody is really sure which super secret sealed off part of the fortress they are in. Since the incident, the chapter has been rebuilt and a new Chapter Master has taken over. [[Roboute Guilliman|The chapter also has a legend of its old master one day returning from his stasis slumber to take back the chapter and bring it to new heights.]]

===As We Know It===
[[Old Ones|Like a lot of things in the 40k-verse]] we actually know a lot more than the characters; and thus, what really happened. The Nemesis Incident happened in 945.M36 and started when the Storm Wardens, along with help from the Ordos Xenos, attacked planets infested with Enslavers. [[Exterminatus|Instead of just blowing the planets to kingdom come]] the chapter master, Owin Glendwyr, decided to send his men to fight the Enslavers head on. [[This Guy|Probably so the planets could have some use for the Imperium]], [[Salamanders|and citizens of the planets wouldn't be sacrificed.]] This came at a great cost though, as many Storm Wardens died, [[That Guy|and the Inquisitor ended up Exterminatusing seven planets in the area anyways.]] However, the true cost of the battle wasn't realized until the Storm Wardens returned to their home planet, where they discovered that they had a lingering psychic [[Luke|ickiness]] that wouldn't go away, no matter how many times they took a bath. Instead of just doing what the Inquisition wanted and kill them all, Glendwyr made a deal. He and his infected first company would go into stasis, until a cure could be found, then their home planet would be declared a forbidden world and knowledge of the Nemesis Incident and the Storm Warden's chapter history would be purged from the records, just to be absolutely sure that the Enslaver taint couldn't spread somehow.

Since then, the Storm Wardens have rebuilt their first company and have chosen a new Chapter Master. These <strike>noobs</strike> second best <strike>(which is the first loser)</strike> marines have called themselves the Inheritors, and only see themselves as the temps who are filling in.
