==Order of the Radiant Spear== <blockquote>''We pray that the God-Emperor, in His Mercy, will empower the faithful and bring light to the True.'' ''We pray that He will bring down the Hand of Chastisement, by the strength of those blessed by His Sight.'' :''-<small>Litany of The Emperor's Wrath, spoken upon the ascension of novitiates to the Order''</small></blockquote> {| border="1" align="right" !width="500"|Order of the Radiant Spear |- |[[Image:RadiantSpearIcon.png|right|100px]] :'''Main Convent:''' Pillar :'''Strength:''' More than 1,200 Sisters of Battle :'''Specialization:''' Shock Assault :'''Canoness Superior:''' Sola XII DeAnnise :'''Famed Battles:''' The Arrakis Crusade, Battle of the Storm, Battle of the Ancient Cathedral :'''Symbol:''' A white fleur-de-lys on a blue flame :'''Colors:''' Silver armor, grey trim and weapons, azure cloak :'''Daughters Of:''' [[Order of the Argent Shroud]] :'''Nickname:''' ''"Spears of the Saints"'' |} During the 38th Millennium, dozens of [[Adepta Sororitas]] were seized by visions of a blazing spear hurled into an orb of stars. Following the call of the Emperor, these Sisters of Battle landed upon the gemworld of Pillar. Fighting now-extinct chthonic xenoforms of that world's endless chasms, the Sisters took shelter in the wreck of a long-lost fane-ship where they found ancient weapons dating to Saint Castor's Crusade, including Her holy spear. With these relics, they broke free of the chasms and returned to the surface. Thus, the '''Order of the Radiant Spear''' was founded upon that broken world, dedicated to the memory of Saint Rosella Castor. The Order of the Radiant Spear holds as its primary purpose the tracking and recovery of relics, whose veracity is ensured by the associated Order of His Limitless Sight. Saint Castor was a vocal proponent of the creed of Imperial Redemption, holding that all the galaxy had once felt the footfall of man and that the greatest devotion one could perform for the Emperor was the recovery of lost elements of humankind, whether they were people, places, or relics. Thus the Sisters of the Radiant Spear attach themselves to far-flung Rogue Trader fleets, Crusades venturing into the outer dark, and Inquisitorial extraction missions, following the Saint's creed to recover all that was once mankind's. Since its founding, the Order has embraced an active interpretation of the Adepta Sororitas' remit. They protect and utilize sacred relics on the field of battle, bearing them to inspire common soldiers or unleashing their divine power upon the heretic and traitor. In keeping with Saint Castor's teachings, they have a disproportionate number of Seraphim and Dominions, to bear overwhelming firepower where necessary to turn the tide of battle. The holiest relic of the order is The Winged Spear of St. Castor, a double-headed power halberd with an unbreakable adamantine shaft emblazoned with the symbols of the Imperial Cult. Legends say the Spear grants the faithful the power to blind machine-senses, reveal the weakness of any armor, and turn the spell of any sorcerer.
