Heralds of the Storm

"Honor our fathers, protect the innocent and meek, demolish and burn those that would oppose the Emperor's subjects. These are the tenants of our righteous calling, and they are our creed! Glory for the Emperor, and honor to his servants!""

- Lord Crusader Galadan addressing the victorious 1st Company after routing an army of Chaos Marines (457.M38) The Valiant Scions are a 23rd Founding Successor Chapter of the honored Penitent Knights Chapter. Created during the Nova Terra Interregnum, the Valiant Scions proudly adhere to the near chivalric culture of their forebear Chapter, adopting many of the customs, strategies, and beliefs. Like the Knights, the Scions fervently believe in the value of civilian life and will gladly endure many hardships to secure their safety. Because of this, or perhaps the reason for it, being that the Chapters have maintained a very close relationship, the Scions seeing the Knights as their noble fathers. However, differing from their parent Chapter, the Valiant Scions are mostly a crusading Chapter like all of the Sentinel Founding, roaming the Imperium for foes to slay, though sometimes taking periods of time to defend their home system.
