==Training== Each Sister of the Anointed Arrow is trained in the harsh frozen wilderness of Hebria, where they are taught stealth, tracking, and survival skills. They are also trained in using an assortment of weapons, and indeed not all the Sisters go on to serve as the elite Anointers who take up the rifles of their namesake. Those who are especially steady of aim and pure of heart are further taught to make use of both their camo-cloaks and their blessed weapon to their greatest advantage. Before she completes her training, a would be Anointer is expected to sneak up on a guard post undetected while carrying all of her equipment from leagues away, reach close enough to take clear pict-captures of the location, then retreat without ever being seen. As the guard post is staffed by their fellow keen eyed Battle Sisters, this task is exceptionally difficult, and may take days of careful snail paced advancing to complete. Once every Terran year, a Sister not fighting in an active war may request to perform the exercise, but some go through their entire lives without ever finding success. These Sisters are not looked down upon, for not everyone is meant to take on the role of an Anointer, but those who do will number among the finest scout snipers in the Imperium. Furthermore, Sisters of the Order are trained in the art of storytelling, a practice that stems from their founded. Marsilia was deeply moved by what she had seen and heard during her time fighting beside the Imperial Guard on Hebria. She committed their deeds to memory, and would sing their praises to other soldiers she fought alongside in later campaigns. In her mind, the Guardsmen were the true heroes who had won the war of Hebria and saved the planet. She merely nudged it along a little, in her own way. In a remarkable departure from their taciturn parent Order of the Argent Shroud, this tradition of recounting the glorious and often amusing past deeds of common soldiers encountered by the Sisters has lived on among the Anointed Arrow, and has made them even more popular with the those they fight alongside. Such retellings have done wonders for troop morale, and has inspired more than one Guardsman to acts of bravery, so that they too might find immortality in the stories of the Sisters.
