Knights of the Throne

"Hear me brothers, while He sits the Throne we will fight, we will endure, for we have Faith. He is our shield, He is our armour, He is the blade at our enemies heart."

- Captain Coenred rallies the last of the Throne Knights for one last, desperate stand.

The Knights of the Throne are a loyalist Codex-divergent Successor Chapter of Primaris Marines created from the gene-seed of the Imperial Fists by Belisarius Cawl during the 27th Founding, the Ultima Founding. They were originally counted among the Unnumbered Sons, a secret army unveiled by Roboute Guilliman upon his return. As the Indomitus Crusade liberated planet after planet, contingents of the Unnumbered Sons were formed into Chapters, and placed at locations of value to the Imperium. Such was the case with the Knights of the Throne, formed to protect the world of Logris, a crossroads valued for the stable nature of the Warp in it's vicinity. Chosen from the most zealous of the Imperial Fist line, the defenders of Logris are staunch believers in the divinity of the Emperor. Though almost destroyed in the Fall of Camlann, the remaining doomed Astartes hold their vigil, venturing forth from Logris to protect the Emperor's Faithful where they are in need.

Chapter History
History

Chapter Home World
Logris, an Imperial World host to the remains of Saint Medraut, an early Saint of the Adeptus Ministorum. Though the population is fervently pious, the obscurity of Saint Medraut to the Imperium at large resulted in it never being converted into a Shrine World. As a result, the cathedrals and chapels on the surface are marvellously varied, reflecting the myriad styles that have developed on the world.

A temperate world of rolling planes and soft coastlines, it can be considered a Paradise World. It's mountains hold small deposits of rare minerals, valued greatly by the Forge Worlds of the Adeptus Mechanicus. Though the inhabitants might have once learnt how to use them, the secrets of the materials have been long lost.

The Recruitment Process
Formerly, the Knights of the Throne recruited from the pious and hardy people of Logris. Long centuries of toil in the mines and quiet faith make the people strong and disciplined, properties enhanced by training and indoctrination after joining the Chapter. The people of Logris consider it an honour to be selected for the trials, and willingly volunteer

The Knights of the Throne have not recruited since the Battle of Camlann destroyed all but eleven Brothers of the Chapter. Though an amount of their progenoids where salvaged by their parent Chapter, the Imperial Fists, and are being used to slowly create new Brothers for the Chapter, they are still in the early stages.
