The sisters of the Blinded Martyr believe that the mission of the Orders Militant is to be holy warriors first and foremost; all other concerns are secondary. From the moment they enter the fortress-convent on the storm-shrouded Mount Skollis, recruits are put through one of the most brutal training regimens in the Adepta Sororitas. Day and night, they are forced to drill and fight in the freezing oxygen-thin heights of the mountain. When they have mastered this environment, they must go through the same process again, in the muddy beaches at the mountains base, in the thick forests on the neighboring islands, even in the cold vacuum of space.

While this process produces some of the toughest fighters in the Imperium, the arts of war are but one aspect of being a sister of the Blinded Martyr. The other is strength of spirit. As the implacable Saint Melinoe willingly sacrificed her sight to defeat Bar'zol, so too must every battle sister be capable of rising to any challenge required of them. It is this demeanor which has led to widespread ritual scarification among the sisters of the order. By regularly subjecting themselves to intense suffering, the sisters of the Blinded Martyr gird themselves spiritually as well as physically. A battle sister who feels fear in her heart needs only gaze upon the numerous scars to be reminded of the sacrifice expected of each and every sister, and that there are fates far worse than death.
