Defence of Keter

The Defence of Keter was an Imperial defensive campaign carried out by the Heb 62nd Zealous Light Foot Regiment, "The Blesséd" to protect the shrine world of Keter from the depredation of the hated Word Bearers Traitor Legion, led by Dark Apostle Jarulek.

Background
The Heb 62nd was one of the 12 Holy Regiments which defended the Shrine World of Keter from the destruction at the hands of the Dark Apostle Jarulek. When Jarulek brought a portion of his host to Keter to defile the remains of Saint Amyntikós, only those 12 Guard Regiments were available to assist the holy militias of the Shrine World.

The Holy Regiments stood and fought upon the Sacred Fields of the First and Last against traitors, blasphemers, and much worse. As blood rained down from the skies, the 12 Holy Regiments fought to the last man and woman. In what would later be declared a miracle, as the last of the Guardsmen died, the skies parted and an entire Preceptory of the Order of the Valorous Heart descended upon Keter. The traitors were eventually routed and driven from the world.

Cardinal Bonnifant would later declare the 12 Regiments to be Holy Martyrs and grant the Regimental honor of “The Blesséd” to each of them and their successors. Furthermore, at all times, a single Sister of the Sacred Rose stands vigal upon the Sacred Fields of the First and Last over the Tombs of the Martyrs of the 12 Holy Regiments.
