Editing Codex - Fallen Sororitas (section)

=== Sects ===
*'''Brides of Slaanesh:''' Taught by Miriael Sabathiel herself, the Brides of Slaanesh are well-trained in the arts of temptation, diminishing their foe's will to fight and convincing their prey to turn on their erstwhile allies. 

*'''Daughters of Asteroth:''' Of all the Keepers of Secrets encountered by the Imperium, Asteroth is perhaps the most dangerous, as it's network of traitors and spies extend throughout the Adeptus Terra. The Daughters of Asteroth often know their enemy's next move before they themselves know it, and plan accordingly.

*'''Niflheim Valkyries:''' Sisters from them ice world Niflheim that used to be a shrine world. The planetary governor had a daughter, Laufey, who turned out to be a psyker, but he couldn't bear the idea of giving her over to the black ships. Naturally, she got corrupted by Slaanesh and managed to seduce the planet's Sororitas garrison to her new master's side. These Sisters are obsessed with cold in order to reduce sensation most of the time so that when they do feel sensation (either through combat or the unholy rituals they perform on their home planet), it's significantly more intense. Their skin is perpetually covered in an icy latticework, a side-effect of the branding Laufey gives to each sister on their initiation into the cult which also grants special protection from the foes of Slaanesh. They're also obsessed with physical perfection and preserving beauty, and like to use cryogenic weapons to freeze particularly handsome enemies to bring back to their planet to keep as part of a tribute to Slaanesh's gifts to an undeserving galaxy [https://gabtor.files.wordpress.com/2010/11/the_chronicles_of_narnia_4.jpg (think kinda like the white witch's courtyard from the Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe).]

*'''Void Naiads:''' Living luxurious lives, the inhabitants of the Augustaeum upon Hydraphur contrasted the devout Sisters of the Order of the Sacred rose that lived within the Cathedral of the Emperor Ascendant. A group of these Sisters had taken their vows alongside the granddaughter of the Rogue Trader Rannyer Kvan, a rather excessive individual even by the standards of those native to Bosporia. With her, a seed of corruption was sown within the Order that continued to grow until it bore fruit; with the opening of the Cicatrix Maledictum, a group of Sisters from the Cathedral were sent to reinforce Imperial positions elsewhere in Segmentum Pacificus, Kvan and her corrupted cohort being included amongst them. The ship never arrived. Once in the Warp, Kvan led her sect of Slaaneshi Sisters in a mutiny, wherein they slaughtered many of the crew, disabled the Gellar Field and gave themselves and any others still living, fully to the Prince of passion. Since succumbing to Slaanesh's seductive style of sodomy, these Sisters specialised in honing horrific methods of meticulous mind games, garish noises not least amongst them. 

*'''Dancers of Midnight:''' The Dancers of Midnight are obsessed with bodily modification, to the point that most of them likely couldn't be called truly human anymore. For them, the pursuit of uniqueness is worth any price, and the arms, tentacles, and claws that grow from their bodies are sickeningly lethal in the heat of close combat.

*'''Semirites:''' The Semirites are what's left of the Order of the Sealed Gate, an Adepta Sororitas order which was founded to protect the Serpent's Fang, a cursed sword that imprisoned an incredibly powerful Slaaneshi daemon prince. In order to maintain the order's sanctity, only the Canonesses of the order were aware of it's existence. After they found themselves on the wrong side of the [[Great Rift]], the order was besieged by Dark Eldar raiders, who swiftly killed or abducted all of the order leadership. In an act of desperation, a sister superior by the name of Nairi broke into the chamber holding the Serpent's Fang and took the daemonic weapon, using it to drive off the alien raiders once and for all. Although her sisters were grateful that the Dark Eldar were gone, none of them realized the terrible cost of Nairi's action, or how the sword was already influencing her mind. Under the guise of bringing the Emperor's light back to the Dark Imperium, she led the surviving sisters on wars of conquest against neighboring planets, slowly corrupting the rest of the order in the process. Now an Inamorata, Nairi controls several planets in the Dark Imperium, known as the Semirite Empire, with billions of slaves at her disposal. In combat, the Semirites typically rely on the countless slaves, renegades, and heretics at their disposal to engage the bulk of the enemy force while the arrogant Fallen Sisters seek the greatest enemy champions to test their skill against. Their vanity is well-deserved, for Semirites are fearsome single combatants, and should raw skill prove insufficient, they are equipped with a wide variety of deadly poisons and hidden weapons to give them an ill-earned advantage.
