Legendary Names3

Junith Eruita is the Order's own Canoness — the Reverend Superior who leads from a pulpit-throne, her voice the litany the whole line marches to. While she stands upon the battlefield and is not Broken, every friendly fighter within 6" of her automatically passes the first Nerve test it makes each round; the Order does not break in her sight. Yet her faith is a chain as much as a banner. While she stands, she will never voluntarily leave a held objective or make a retreat move, and the gang may not choose to bottle out. The line holds as long as Junith does — whether or not the holding is wise.

The Inscribed is any Battle Sister or Retributor whose name is already written on the Roll of Martyrs — a Sister who fights as one long promised to the fallen. She automatically passes Nerve tests caused by friendly casualties, unshaken by deaths she has already counted as her own, and when she is at last taken Out of Action the gang gains two Faith rather than one: her death is worth more than her life, and she knows it. But a Sister this certain of her end does not hang back. She must always end her movement no further from the nearest enemy than she began, and never voluntarily retreats. She is spending herself, on purpose, and the pool fills faster for it.

Veridyan the Grace is the warrior-saint who bears the Order's relic bolter — a Canoness or Sister Superior into whose hands the blessed weapon has been given. While she makes no Move, the relic re-rolls all its failed hit rolls, and once each battle a single hit from it strikes at +2 Damage: the guided bolt made flesh in one Sister's grip. But the Grace demands stillness and sacrifice. She may never make a Charge action, and if she is taken Out of Action the gang suffers a loss of Reputation for letting the relic fall. She is worth more standing than any advance she might make.
