	The Knights of '''House Accolon''' have a long and hallowed history among the ranks of the [[Knight Houses (Hektor Heresy)\|Knight Households]] of the Imperium. They fought in the Siege of the Throneworld, and their King and Liege Lord entered the halls of Legend for her part in the Siege, being granted the eternal title ''The Blade of Terra'', by the hand of the Emperor's Praetorian and becoming a saint in the Imperial Cult. Loyalty is everything to the Lords of Accolon: loyalty to each other, to their liege lords, to their house, to their ancestors, to the memory of their King and the Throne of Terra she died to defend. That loyalty has endured everything a cruel galaxy can throw at it, and it merely grows stronger the more adversity threatens.

	* '''Thegn Osmaul "Wallbreaker"''' Osmaul was a master of Siege Warfare, breaking many fortifications with his Castellan pattern Knight's quake gun. He ended up on [[Rosskar]] during the Heresy, where he defended the central pains for several months before finally being destroyed by a Reaver Titan of the Fire Masters a week before the Steel Marshalls arrived to liberate the world.		* '''Thegn Osmaul "Wallbreaker"''' Osmaul was a master of Siege Warfare, breaking many fortifications with his Castellan pattern Knight's quake gun.

			* '''Thegn Maleagant "Nadre"''' One of the first kings to submit to Arturia after her coronation, he would be present at the arrival of the Emperor and much taken in by the Primarch Aubrey. At his request, he was seconded to the Eternal Zealots, swearing lifelong oaths to Aubrey and the sixteenth. However when the Legion was censured and Lazarus was destroyed, he and his Knights were ordered to leave the command of the Legion. Remaining in the Eastern Fringe, Maleagant was drawn to the Atalantos worlds when news of the Rebellion broke out, and it was there that he would meet his old Legion in combat and eventually fall before them.

	* '''Dux Grimir "Ringchaser"''': Known for his bawdy ways and his fondness for women, Grimir was nevertheless a seasoned Knight and proud warrior. He was a known figure within the ranks of [[House Walkur]], where it is said he broke a hundred hearts and would have been skinned alive were it not for the direct intervention of the King.		* '''Dux Grimir "Ringchaser"''': Known for his bawdy ways and his fondness for women, Grimir was nevertheless a seasoned Knight and proud warrior.

The Evalorn Shield is repositioned before any attacks are carried out in the Shooting phase and may not offer protection to Caliburn’s rear.

	One by one Questoris detachments of Knights would leave Cattegirn to serve in the Great Crusade, until a bare skeleton force was left behind to train future Knights.

	At the outbreak of the Heresy Household records have that there were two hundred and seven tested Line Knights split over three dozen different Household Detachments across the Imperium serving with a dozen expeditionary forces, with another nineteen newly raised Aspirants scattered among that number. Of all those Knights, only three would survive the Heresy to return to Cattegirn. Losses were compounded by the fact that the moment one world was secured by the Loyalists, the Knights would move on to confront the nearest traitors to their current position, and refused to stop this cycle of moving and fighting until all the Knights were destroyed. Additionally, several detachments serving alongside traitor forces were brought down before they knew the extent of the treachery going on around them.		At the outbreak of the Heresy Household records have that there were two hundred and thirty seven tested Line Knights split over three dozen different Household Detachments across the Imperium serving with a dozen expeditionary forces, with another nineteen newly raised Aspirants and an unknown number of former Freeblades scattered among that number.

	The Knights of Accolon used every type and make of Knight with no preference, each Knight choosing his make of mount based on his own temperament. It is known that numbers of the Mechanicum Knights, the Maegaera and Stryx were comparatively rare compared to Cerastus and Questoris Knights. Additionally the Household had a large number of Transport vessels for moving the Household detachments around, which would come in great use when the Heresy broke out.

			House Accolon was built on the backs of former enemies of the King that upon defeat swore allegiance to her and became part of her Household. And so a tradition of allowing outsiders who had proven themselves to join with the Knights of Accolon, don the blue, white and silver and become one with their new brothers was born, one which would continue down the ages. Hundreds of Freeblades would be drawn to the Household and would set aside their masterless lives to join with the sons of Cattegirn. Most famous of all of these was [[Abdul Al-Sherar]], but many others such as Lucius Hybernius, Vonnaghut and Uzhankov Yaroslavich were also sons of other Households who willingly took up the marks of Accolon for their own.
