Editing Canoness-Errant Setheno (section)

==The Fall of the Order of the Piercing Thorn==
Very little is known about her before the events that befell her order. Once a very prestigious and powerful order, the Piercing Thorn claimed many victories over the enemies of Man. Leading the Order, Setheno quickly gained a reputation for awe-inspiring tenacity and bravery in battle, and some even claimed she would become the next Abbess of the Convent Prioris on [[Terra]] (making her a [[High Lords of Terra|High <s>Lord</s> ''Lady'' of Terra]]).

And that's when the shit hit the fan. No one knows what happened for sure, but the rumor is that she discovered some sort of [[HERESY|taint]] in her order, and [[RAGE|flipped the hell out]]. Demanding the immediate destruction of her Order, she gathered as many Sisters of Battle from other Orders as she could find and personally annihilated the Piercing Thorn, leaving nothing behind. Every sister was slaughtered, every vehicle demolished, the Order's fortress was bombed and burnt to the ground, and the land was salted. The Piercing Thorn was no more, and Setheno became its only survivor. Considering other Orders were involved and the Inquisition doubtless wouldn't have stood around without poking their noses in, we can assume that she was right and this needed to be done (by Imperial standards, anyway).

After that [[Khornate Knights|happy little incident]], she refused to join another order, taking the title of Canoness-Errant, a position that she basically made up, but [[Exterminatus|after what she had done]], no one was going to argue with it. While she doesn't technically have any real authority, her force of personality and the various dark rumors that follow in her wake usually allow her to get her way.
