Editing Guardians of the Covenant (section)

==Beliefs==
The Chapter places knowledge and understanding above all else. As [[Imperial Cult|dogmatic worship]] of the [[Emperor]] is frowned upon by members of the Chapter, certain freedom of thought is given to Brothers of the Chapter. Every teaching from the Emperor and the [[Primarch|Lion El'Jonson]] is studied, analysed and debated so that few can match them on the theoretical field of battle.

They even appear to have an uncharacteristic reverence ''(as members of the Unforgiven)'' for [[Roboute Guilliman|Guilliman's]] [[Codex Astartes]] and inscribe their arms, armour, banners and war machines with passages and artistic renderings from that ancient text, as well as other sacred documents. What drives the Guardians of the Covenant to do this is not entirely understood, and is suspected by some that it is part of an [[Just as Planned|Unforgiven conspiracy]] of [[A Game of Pretend|misdirection]]. Or, perhaps, they simply realized through their debates that Guilliman made many very good points in his Codex and it would be stupid to ignore the wisdom of a primarch just because he is not ''your'' primarch. Just as stupid, in fact, as [[Spiritual Liege|following that wisdom blindly]] without any initiative.
