	The traditions and creed of the chapter were remade from the ground up. Where other chapters excelled in close combat, fast attack, long-range firepower, or armored assault, the Resplendent made themselves into warrior-artisans, believing that by creating art, they would become better warriors and defenders of mankind. Their [[Fortress-Monastery]] was filled with magnificent paintings, tapestries, installations, and statuary created by the chapter's warriors. The battle-brothers decorated their [[pauldrons]] with beautifully painted individual heraldry, meant to represent their soul. They also discarded the ''[[Codex Astartes]]'' and created their own organization based on a new book: the ''Arc Resplendent''. Companies were renamed "Rhapsodies", each one specializing in a different form of war, and a variety of new titles were created for the chapter's officers and specialists. As previously mentioned, the Chapter Master became the Chapter Magister, while the company captains became known as Knights Exemplar, sergeants were renamed Arc and Apex Sergeants, the Chaplains collectively became the Black Elegy, and Librarians and Techmarines were renamed Architects and Artificers. Each Rhapsody had a different color, name, and emblem, as well as a different task. The Rhapsody Celestial was the First Company, made up of the chapter's veterans, while the Rhapsody Vigilant was tasked with watching over their fortress-monastery of Kanvolis, and the Rhapsody Concordant was made up of the most level-headed Astartes in the chapter. There were three Questing Rhapsodies--the Empyrean, Astral, and Eternal--who wandered the galaxy like knights-errant while [[Tzeentch\|collecting rare artifacts and esoteric knowledge]] and recruiting aspirants for the chapter, and three Crusading Rhapsodies--the Fulminant, Refulgent, and Conflagrant--who fulfilled the chapter's martial obligations to the Imperium.

Where other chapters excelled in close combat, fast attack, long-range firepower, or armored assault, the Resplendent made themselves into warrior-artisans, believing that by creating art, they would become better warriors and defenders of mankind. The chapter also started collecting artists of all stripes--poets, painters, sculptors, musicians, authors--to record their deeds and create art for them.

	In order to gauge their merit and creativity, the Librarius decreed that the final trial for Resplendent Aspirants would be to enter the snowy forest surrounding their [[Fortress-Monastery]] of Kanvolis, known as '''"The Reverie"'''. You know, [[fail\|the one tainted with Chaos shit]]. Exactly what they had to do in there varied according to the aspirant; the woods were steeped in the [[warp]], so an aspirant could be gone for a few days or a few decades or not return at all, with no time passing on the outside. (Similar to [[The Dark Coil#Linking Threads\|"The Coil" in Phaedra]]) What each one experienced varied wildly. Gradually, the Resplendent noticed that the effects of the Reverie were slowly getting worse. The chapter's [[Librarian]]s attempted to seal the rift in the woods but accidentally ended up making the problem worse, along with compounding it by not telling the rest of the chapter. In order to protect the woods and any future aspirants, a cadre of their Librarians were tasked with watching over the woods. Occasionally, gribbly things would escape the Reverie, causing big problems for the Resplendent.

	~~This~~ made [[Tzeentch]] take an autistic interest in the chapter, since they were a successor of the Ninth Legion, born during the Ninth Founding on a poisoned world ninth from its star, which was also ninth by nature. He had begun quietly weaving a web of trickery and deception around the ~~chapter~~, slowly corrupting some of its members from within. The Resplendent ~~also~~ allowed decadence and corruption to seep into their fortress-monastery by not paying attention to what their ~~mortal staff~~ and artists were ~~doing and~~ even ~~supplying them~~ with hallucinogens and other drugs to stimulate their creativity. ~~This~~ allowed cults dedicated to Tzeentch and [[Slaanesh]] to spring up among the chapter's ~~serfs and artisans~~. This eventually led to a takeover attempt by Tzeentchian forces, led by several unwittingly corrupted serfs and even Astartes. The chapter purged the corruption and drove it back into the Reverie, but they were left more uncertain than ever about their position in the galaxy. Some of them wondered if their obsession with artistry would ultimately lead to their downfall.		All this made [[Tzeentch]] take an autistic interest in the chapter, since they were a successor of the Ninth Legion, born during the Ninth Founding on a poisoned world ninth from its star, which was also ninth by nature. He had begun quietly weaving a web of trickery and deception around the Resplendent, slowly corrupting some of its members from within. The Resplendent themselves allowed decadence and corruption to seep into their fortress-monastery by not paying attention to what their serfs and artists were up to; they even supplied the artists with hallucinogens and other drugs to stimulate their creativity. Unsurprisingly, their laxity allowed cults dedicated to Tzeentch and [[Slaanesh]] to spring up among the chapter's mortal servants. This eventually led to a takeover attempt by Tzeentchian forces, led by several unwittingly corrupted serfs and even a few corrupted Astartes. The chapter successfully purged the corruption and drove it back into the Reverie, but they were left more uncertain than ever about their position in the galaxy. Some of them wondered if their obsession with artistry would ultimately lead to their downfall.

	At some point, a detachment of the ~~Angels~~ Resplendent, led by then-Captain '''Varzival Czervantes''', took part in a crusade launched by a charismatic preacher named Father Deliverance to bring the worlds of the Providence System into the Imperium. The crusade quickly collapsed into a quagmire when the inhabitants of Providence [[heresy\|rejected the word of the God-Emperor]] and the Imperial forces responded by [[Rip and Tear\|scourging and purging]]. The Angels, who'd advocated for a diplomatic approach, got fed up and bailed out almost immediately.

	Some of them eventually wound up on Vytarn, a remote [[Shrine World]] inhabited by a reclusive [[Sisters of Battle\|Adepta Sororitas]] Order Minoris known as the Last Candle. Unfortunately, the Last Candle's entire shrine complex had been built over what was essentially a sewer drain for the [[Webway]], and as a result Chaotic corruption had slowly seeped into the place to the point where an entire spire had been lost and some of the Sisters were going squirrelly and doing things that strongly resembled Chaos worship. When all hell finally broke loose and the place started being torn apart by daemons of Tzeentch and Nurgle, the Angels fortified one spire of the Ring and held it against all comers, sheltering anyone who managed to escape the chaos and reach them. Among the refugees was a young psyker named '''Athanazius Calvino''', who would one day become the chapter's greatest Chief Librarian.

Disappeared while on crusade with the First Rhapsody of the Resplendent and is currently presumed dead.
			*Athanazius Calvino: Last Chief Librarian of the Angels Resplendent. He was a native of the remote Shrine World Vytarn who had been abducted by a crazy old bat belonging to the local Sororitas order to be surgically mutilated into a representation of one of the order's guiding virtues. He was rescued by another Sister and ultimately met Captain Czervantes, who took him to be inducted into the chapter. He rose to become its chief Librarian, and was a stalwart warrior and great leader of the Resplendent. He rejected the new creed espoused by the Undying Martyr, only to be murdered by his own battle-brothers.
			*Icharos Malvoisin: Chaplain of the Angels Resplendent and leader of the Council of Thorns in the Angels Penitent. He was the instigator of the chapter's fall from noblebright warrior-poets to self-flagellating doomers. He was led to this new outlook by a strange man known only as the Undying Martyr, who convinced him over the course of nineteen days that humanity in general and the Space Marines in particular were all irredeemable sinners who deserved nothing but death for their failures. He led the Angels in their purgation of their fortress-monastery and formed the Council of Thorns to enforce the new creed. His status after the Devastation of Baal is unknown.
			*Ennio Zann: An Artificer Radiant (Techmarine) of the chapter who was corrupted after noticing the daemonic influence seeping out of the Reverie. He created an [[Heresy\|AI]] to help him develop a countermeasure, only for it to hijack his brain and turn him into a vector for Chaos shit to invade the Resplendent's fortress-monastery. Peter Fehervari was clearly having fun with this one, as he appears to be named after legendary composer Ennio Morricone and the mad violinist Erich Zann from one of [[H.P. Lovecraft]]'s short stories.
			*Xoren Castaneda: Former Chief Librarian and first Chapter Magister of the Angels Resplendent. Led the chapter's reformation into noblebright warrior-poets after seeing one of his battle-brothers rip up an entire town while in the throes of the Red Thirst and deciding that something needed to be done to fix the problem. Nobody wanted to listen to him until the current chapter master Black Raged and everyone else decided that Castaneda might be onto something.

	The traditions and creed of the chapter were remade from the ground up.

Their [[Fortress-Monastery]] was filled with magnificent paintings, tapestries, and statuary created by the chapter's warriors.

	They were once known as the Angels Resplendent, and were some of the [[Pretty Marines\|prettiest]], [[Noblebright\|noblest]], and all-around greatest of the sons of [[Sanguinius]]. They wore orange armor trimmed with red and silver, and they were notable for being one of [[Lamenters\|two]] Blood Angels successor chapters who didn't have any issues with their Marines suddenly [[Red Thirst\|developing a craving for the red stuff]] or [[Black Rage\|going bugshit berserk]]. Things were pretty good for the chapter for a while, though at some point their original homeworld suffered some kind of unspecified catastrophe that forced them to relocate to their current home of Malpertuis, a remote planet located on the eastern fringes of the Imperium. (Incidentally, this world appears to be named after a 1971 horror movie starring Orson Welles.) They also had a curiously short lifespan for Astartes; in ''Reverie'', one of their Apothecaries noted that it was rare for a Resplendent to see their second century, though whether this was because of their innate aggressiveness or some other cause is unknown.

	In order to gauge their merit and creativity, the Librarius decreed that the final trial for Resplendent Aspirants would be to enter the snowy forest surrounding their [[Fortress-Monastery]] of Kanvolis, known as '''"The Reverie"'''. You know, [[fail\|the one tainted with Chaos shit]]. Exactly what they had to do in there varied according to the aspirant; the woods were steeped in the [[warp]], so an aspirant could be gone for a few days or a few decades or not return at all, with no time passing on the outside. (Similar to [[The Dark Coil#Linking Threads\|"The Coil" in Phaedra]]) What each one experienced varied wildly. Gradually, the Resplendent noticed that the effects of the Reverie were slowly getting worse. The chapter's [[Librarian]]s attempted to seal the rift in the woods but accidentally ended up making the problem worse, along with compounding it by not telling the rest of the chapter. In order to protect the woods and any future aspirants, a cadre of their Librarians were tasked with watching over the woods. Occasionally, gribbly things would escape the Reverie, causing big problems for the Resplendent.

All this made [[Tzeentch]] take an autistic interest in the chapter, since they were a successor of the Ninth Legion, born during the Ninth Founding on a poisoned world ninth from its star, which was also ninth by nature. He had begun quietly weaving a web of trickery and deception around the Resplendent, slowly corrupting some of its members from within. The Resplendent themselves allowed decadence and corruption to seep into their fortress-monastery by not paying attention to what their serfs and artists were up to; they even supplied the artists with hallucinogens and other drugs to stimulate their creativity. Unsurprisingly, their laxity allowed cults dedicated to Tzeentch and [[Slaanesh]] to spring up among the chapter's mortal servants. This eventually led to a takeover attempt by Tzeentchian forces, led by several unwittingly corrupted serfs and even a few corrupted Astartes. The chapter successfully purged the corruption and drove it back into the Reverie, but they were left more uncertain than ever about their position in the galaxy. Some of them wondered if their obsession with artistry would ultimately lead to their downfall.

	At some point, a detachment of the ~~Angels~~ Resplendent, led by then-Captain '''Varzival Czervantes''', took part in a crusade launched by a charismatic preacher named Father Deliverance to bring the worlds of the Providence System into the Imperium. The crusade quickly collapsed into a quagmire when the inhabitants of Providence [[heresy\|rejected the word of the God-Emperor]] and the Imperial forces responded by [[Rip and Tear\|scourging and purging]]. The Angels, who'd advocated for a diplomatic approach, got fed up and bailed out almost immediately.

	Some of them eventually wound up on Vytarn, a remote [[Shrine World]] inhabited by a reclusive [[Sisters of Battle\|Adepta Sororitas]] Order Minoris known as the Last Candle. Unfortunately, the Last Candle's entire shrine complex had been built over what was essentially a sewer drain for the [[Webway]], and as a result Chaotic corruption had slowly seeped into the place to the point where an entire spire had been lost and some of the Sisters were going squirrelly and doing things that strongly resembled Chaos worship. When all hell finally broke loose and the place started being torn apart by daemons of Tzeentch and Nurgle, the Angels fortified one spire of the Ring and held it against all comers, sheltering anyone who managed to escape the chaos and reach them. Among the refugees was a young psyker named '''Athanazius Calvino''', who would one day become the chapter's greatest Chief Librarian.
