Sons of Damnation


 * "Damnation, for the Dark Gods!"
 * — Sons of Damnation battle cry

The Sons of Damnation are a mysterious renegade Space Marine Chapter of unknown Founding and

origin. Formerly known as the Sanctors of Lightrim, this Chapter was founded to guard against the threat of the Traitor Legions attacking the Nosgothica Sector from the nearby Eye of Terror. The Sanctors were once counted amongst the most stalwart defenders of mankind. But the insidious threat of Chaos wrapped its corrupting tendrils around the very soul of the Chapter, instilling within the Sanctors' lore-seeking brethren, an unnatural craving for forbidden knowledge. Their betrayal began when they began using the power of Chaos on unwilling human test slaves, turning them into possessed horrors. They believed that only by utilising the very power of Chaos would one be able to ever truly defeat it. Alas, the Chapter overreached themselves, and soon their struggle to turn the dark powers of the Chaos Gods against themselves and their servants for the good of humanity, drove the Sanctors down a much darker path. Their views became twisted by the Dark Gods, who instilled within them an insatiable lust for acquiring power. Soon the Chapter came to believe that only through darkness would one be able to achieve this ultimate power.

Not long after, the Sanctors became wholly corrupted. They came to disdain those who did not have the courage to use the powers of the Warp, claiming that the power of Chaos was a weapon like any other, and that the myriad evils that threatened to engulf the galaxy merited its use. They wished to utilise Chaos to instill a new order upon the galaxy. However, their activities soon drew the unwanted attention of the Inquisition, which resulted in the Sanctors ultimately being declared Excommunicate Traitoris by the Ordo Hereticus. The surviving Sons fled into the relative safety of the Eye of Terror, where they continue their dark pursuits in acquiring ultimate power.

Chapter History

 * "''Thou shalt not consult the dismal texts...

Thou shalt not take up the tool of the damned... Thou shalt not summon the daemon... Thou shalt not turn your hand upon your brother...''"
 * — From the Ordo Hereticus' Liber Radicalis

Originally designated the Sanctors of Lightrim, it is thought the Sons of Damantion were created during an unstated Space Marine Founding sometime during the latter years of the Age of Apostasy. This event would have occurred sometime during the second century of the 36th Millennium, though Imperial records of events during this strife-torn period are notoriously ambiguous and difficult to uncover. Fragmentary records gleaned from long lost data-vaults speak of a foreboding time when there was a sudden rise in the number of daemonic incursions. A number of Chapters were created to help stem the tide of the daemonic threat. Many of these Chapters were placed at strategically vital points, throughout multiple systems, surrounding the Eye of Terror to guard against this dire threat. Along with the Sanctors, other Chapters such as the Invokers and the Relictors are also believed to have been created at this time.

The Sanctors of Lightrim became sentinels over the worlds of the Nosgothica Sector located to the galactic north of the Segmentum Obscurus, to guard against both Traitor Legion incursions and daemonic attack. Claiming the world of Lightrim as their Chapter homeworld, the Sanctors built their fortress-monastery, the Light of Truth, upon the planet's tallest mountain range. An exceptionally monastic Chapter in character, the Sanctors were known for being dedicated to the scholarly arts as to the ways of war. As true warrior-monks, they were assiduous in studying the teachings of the Emperor, the Primarchs, and Malcador the Sigillite. Over millennia of their existence they penned several tomes that they continuously added to their fortress-monastery's vast librarium. This attention to the wise words of these and numerous other important figures in Imperial history help them become masters of both the scholarly arts and the ways of war. The Sanctors often used their keen intellects as a weapon as sharp as their blades which saw them listed in the annals of Imperial history on many occasions, having taken part in many glorious victories.

The Path to Hell
It is not known exactly when the Sanctors began their fall from grace, but the path to damnation is rarely one set upon with deliberate intent. Over their centuries of service, many within the Sanctors came to the realisation that to illuminate the recesses of the universe one should not simply cast out the shadows, but to come to understand what truly resides in the dark corners. First and foremost, the Sanctors were seekers of knowledge and had compiled, over many centuries, a substantial repository of forbidden lore relating to the Warp and the Ruinous Powers. Continuously beset by the Forces of Chaos, little by little, step-by-step, the Sanctors' methods and outlooks changed. At first, only minor doctrinal compromises were made. Then Imperial law began to be interpreted by supposed intent. Forbidden texts were soon being consulted, and the sibilant words of summoned daemons were heeded. Before they were even aware of the path they were walking, the Sanctors were already being shunned by some of their previously loyal fellow Chapters.

But at what point in all the Sanctors' service, were they faced with a course of action that they knew to be questionable? For many Imperial scholars, such a realisation came to the Sanctors long after their peers had seen the rot setting in. Most likely, this first compromise occurred in 441.M41, during the campaign known as the Battle of Old. A vitally important mining world, Old was beset upon by a large warband of the Black Legion. The Sanctors were forced to hold off a substantial force of Chaos Space Marines bolstered by daemonic allies. Due to atmospheric interference, the Sanctor forces on the ground were unable to raise their vessels in orbit. Cut off and surrounded on all sides, the outlook looked bleak for the Imperial defenders, as they were faced inevitable annihilation. Reports are unclear as to what exactly occurred after this point, but miraculously, the Sanctors managed to snatch a decisive victory from the jaws of defeat, driving the Forces of Chaos from the planet. Only much later, following their excommunication, would Inquisitorial investigations reveal that the Sanctors so-called 'miracle' was only achieved through dark means - by utilising the powers of the Warp itself.

Dark Pacts
It is human nature to desire power, be it power over themselves, their fellow man, or the world around them. The Ruinous Powers exploit this desire with Dark Pacts and unnatural gifts. These corrupted individuals, in turn, seek to increase their capacity for warp-craft by creating items designed to draw upon the power of the warp directly, without the need for extended rituals. Some go a step further, calling forth servants of Chaos and binding them into a human host to create daemonic weapons of great and terrible power. The Sanctors had become obsessed with the attainment of such ultimate power. Their continuous battles against the never ending tide of Chaos had opened their eyes to the truth - the Imperium was a cesspool of decadence and corruption. Humanity was rife with avarice, lust, and murder - a product of the four Chaos Gods' baleful influence - which had corrupted mankind throughout their long and violent history. The Sanctors had come to the conclusion that only by taming the powers of Chaos, one could harness such power and use it to defeat itself. They Sanctors also believed that the powers of the Warp could be bound to their will and put to use in the Imperium's service.

Only through such change could the Imperium hope to prosper, and in order to do so, it would need those with the foresight and strength of will to shepherd the masses of humanity into the dawn of a new era of glory. In order to achieve these lofty aims, the Sanctors delved deeply into their vast repository of forbidden lore kept within their Chapter's librarium. Contained within ancient tomes were found a staggering wealth of dark and forbidden knowledge. Most dangerous of all was the Sanctors' collection of so-called Dismal Texts - those ancient and forbidden tomes that described the beasts of the Warp, naming them and imparting the rituals by which they might be summoned. But alas, such baleful tomes radiate fell power, and whisper vile untruths to those who open their pages, almost as if possessed of some malefic intelligence. Even to touch such a tome was to court damnation.

Of all their many crimes they would commit, the Sanctors' most heinous was the summoning and conversing with daemons. In the course of their duties, the Chapter often faced such creatures, and had come to the conclusion that in order to combat them, they must seek knowledge of their foe. For the Sanctors, the daemon became another tool to be used against the enemies of mankind. The Sanctors purposely sought to entrap daemons and bind them to their service. The most hideous way in which this was achieved was by the deliberate possession of a living victim, accomplished by way of a forbidden ritual that created what is known as a daemonhost. Without a doubt, these vile abominations would be one of their Chapter's most powerful weapons within their arsenal. For those who would use the fell powers of the warp to achieve their goals, there is little that is more tantalizing than the thought of having a daemon bound to do one's bidding. However, the daemon is capricious, malicious, and above all, the daemon is a liar and deceiver. To create such an abomination, the Sanctors had to procure dangerous tomes full of such proscribed knowledge, as well as victims to serve as hosts. These actions alone would be enough to condemn them unto death and damnation in the eyes of the Inquisition.

Campaign of Damnation
The Sanctors of Lightrim embarked on a Crusade to explore the worlds around the Eye of Terror to uncover more Chaotic tomes. In 448.M41, the Chapter launched a campaign into the Aomra Sector, a benighted region of space that had formerly been a part of the wider Imperium, but was now a haven for Chaos cultists, brigands, outcasts and Renegade Warbands - the latter which had ruled this region for many long decades with an iron fist. The Sanctors did not launch this campaign with any good intentions - for they intended to use this expedition to raid the few human settled worlds that remained in order to acquire new recruits for their Chapter. They especially desired to obtain those with psychic potential that had given themselves over to the raw power of the Warp. The Sanctors looked for those that teetered on the brink of complete damnation and being drawn into the thrall of dark and thirsting gods. Though fraught with great risk and peril, the power that could be achieved by helping these tainted individuals further to the warp was immense. Despite the dangers of cultivating such raw warp power, it was a risk the Sanctors willingly took in order to put the abilities of these potential Aspirants to work for the ultimate good of the Imperium. To achieve their goal, the Sanctors assaulted the so-called Runic Worlds, located deep within this tainted region. Utilising their knowledge of prescience and foresight granted to them through the use of the Ruinous Powers, they were able to launch surprise lightning assaults within the midst of many Renegade Warbands' and Chaos cults' fell places of power, killing the majority of their foes, and then disappearing through summoned Warp portals with their foes' former captive stock of slaves.

These dangerous potential candidates were then brought back to the Sanctors' fortress-monastery on Lightrim. Here, the Aspirants were put through grueling and dangerous trials in order to assess their worthiness. Those with the greatest psychic potential were further tested by the Chapter's Librarians to determine their abilities and potency in the use of the Warp. Those that survived these brutal ordeals were further trained by the Sanctors to control their innate abilities and implanted with the Chapter's gene-seed. By introducing such dangerously powerful psychic individuals into their pool of Neophytes, the Sanctors intended to cultivate their psychic potential to be used by future generations of Battle-Brothers, thus creating the perfect walking weapons against the manifold threats that they must confront and to become masters of the raw power of the Warp.

Renegades of the Dark Gods
Within a few decades, the required submission of the Sanctors' gene-seed tithe to the Magos Inviglia of the Adeptus Mechanicus became infrequent and incomplete. This occurrence wasn't uncommon, particularly amongst those Space Marine Chapters deployed on the fringes of the Imperium's borders or on crusade. At first this was initially not a cause for concern, but as the omission persisted, this raised red flags with the Mechanicus that some dark motive was at work. This would later prove to be true with the Sanctors, as evidence later indicated. To further their designs of conquest of grandeur, their Chapter Master Kel'Thuzad sought to expand his forces into a force equal of the Legiones Astartes of old. Further Inquisitorial investigations would later uncover that the Sanctors' Apothecarion were conducting heretical experiments in rapid zygote cultivation, and though largely unsuccessful, the Sanctors of Lightrim's numbers would eventually stand around an estimated 2,500 Astartes strong.

The Sanctors continued their raids on isolated Imperial worlds and shipping in order to acquire more host candidates for their daemonic-possession experiments. These small-scale raids went unnoticed at first, but soon reports began to filter back to Segmentum command of Renegade Astartes, bearing the livery of the Sanctors, were the ones responsible for these attacks. An Inquisitorial representative, Inquisitor Morum Fel, was sent to Lightrim to investigate the allegations against the Sanctors Chapter and to search for any signs of potential corruption. Inquisitor Fel was shocked by what he found. The Sanctors no longer wore their orginal sable and orange livery. They now wore dark grey and crimson colours on their battle-plate. But troubling of all, was that they now decorated their armour with with strange eldritch runes, etched sigils and engraved hexagrammic wards. During the course of his investigation Inquisitor Fel quickly uncovered the perfidy of the Sanctors, but mysteriously disappeared shortly thereafter.

One of Inquisitor Fel's comrades, Inquisitor Tobias Von Göeben, received a coded communiqué from Fel just before his disappearance and was shocked by the allegations his colleague labeled against the Sanctors - consorting with daemons, harbouring forbidden knowledge, taking up the weapons of the cursed, and Legion building. Inquisitor Von Göeben immediately set course for the world of Lightrim with a strike force comprised of 100 Imperial Storm Troopers. He would discover Fel's fate and if possible, stamp out the root of the Sanctors' heresy. Von Göeben would discover for himself, whether or not the accusations were true, and if indeed the Sanctors were corrupt, determine their fate. When he arrived on Lightrim the Inquisitor soon had his answer, in the form of Morum Fel, now wholly given over, body and soul, to the corrupting influence of the Ruinous Powers. The fallen Inquisitor utilised his newfound dark powers, Fel summoned a cadre of lesser daemons to tear the interlopers apart and feast on their souls. Outnumbered and outmatched, Von Göeben was forced to order a fighting withdrawal back to his ship. Fighting a bloody, one-sided battle, only the Inquisitor and ten Storm Troopers made it back to the vessel. Beating a hasty retreat, Von Göeben vowed to bring the holy wrath of the Inquisition upon Fel and the traitorous Sanctors of Lightrim.

Notable Campaigns

 * Battle of Old (441.M41) - The Battle of Old was against a Warband of the Traitor Legion, the Black Legion. The Sanctors were forced to hold off against a large force comprised of a huge number of their fallen brethren. They were forced hold off the Black Legion for many weeks, before they were able to drive them off. However, later evidence compiled by the Ordo Hereticus sheds a darker light on this victory. There is ample proof that shows the Sanctors were utilising the fell powers of Chaos to achieve victory.
 * First Campaign of Damnnation (448.M41) - The Sanctors conspired to create a campaign were they would try to attack the Sector of Aomra, a former Imperial region, were a huge number of Chaos cultists and Warbands had long ruled with an iron fist. But they were not launching this campaign for any benevolent reasons, but for purely selfish ones. In actuality, the Sons were using the campaign as a cover to gather recruits for their Chapter - especially those with psychic potential who could both wield and control the baleful powers of the Chaos, but preferably those who were somewhat sane who had not yet been driven insane by the sibilant whispers of the Warp. The Sons of Damnation's intent was to acquire a better understanding of the Ruinous Powers more than they already did. They assaulted the so-called Runic Worlds, killing the majority of the Renegade Space Marines and cultists that lurked there. After they had their prize, they brought these new Aspirants back to their Chapter homeworld. These Aspirants went under a series of thorough and gruesome tests, to determine their potential of becoming an Astartes. Those that survived these ordeals, were further trained by the Sons to control their innate abilities and implanted with the Chapter's gene-seed. Thus, the Sanctors took another step forwards down the path to damnation. One of these Aspirants was Kel'Thuzad, whose powerful psychic abilities would see his meteoric rise through the ranks to that of Captain of the 2nd Company.
 * Renegades for the Dark Gods (500.M41) - The Sanctors' actions alert the Inquisition to their use of the Ruinous Powers. The Inquisition ordered a thorough investigation of the Chapter. Inquisitor Morum Fel was sent to the Sanctor's Chapter homeworld of Lightrim to investigate Chapter's practices and search for any sign of potential corruption. What Morum Fel found was that these Astartes blatantly used the fell powers of the Warp as well as dark sorcery, which was strictly forbidden by Imperial edict. The newly renamed 'Sons of Damantion', openly worshipped the Ruinous Powers. The Inquisitor did not return from Lightrim, having vanished under mysterious circumstances. A fellow Inquisitor received a secret transmission from Inquisitor Fel just before his disappearance and was shocked by the evidence his colleague had uncovered. This Inquisitor and a strike force comprised of 100 Inquisitorial Storm Troopers were quickly despatched to Lightrim in order to discover Fel's fate, and to determine for himself whether the Sanctors of Lightrim were either loyal or heretics. He soon had his answer, when he was confronted by Morum Fel, now twisted by Chaos, who summoned daemonic servants to the material realm in order to feast upon the interlopers. The Inquisitor ordered his men to make a fighting withdrawal to his ship before it was too late, however, only 10 Storm Troopers and the Inquisitor managed to survive. Making a hasty retreat, they Inquisition would return in order to bring their unfettered wrath down upon the traitorous Chapter.

 * — Tyrant Kel'thuzad of the Sons of Damnation


 * Second Campaign of Damnation (501.M41) - This time, they would not fight heretics....but the loyalist forces. The Sons of Damnation did not care for their old loyalty to the Emperor, and they were ready to kill in the name of the Dark Gods. The Inquition ordered 3 Space Marine Chapters to take part in the eradication of the heretic Sons of Damnation, those Chapters being - the Bone Reapers, Astral Claws and one unnamed chapter. Great battles took place on Lightrim, the chapter homeworld of the Sons themselves. The Chapters landing to fight the Sons of Damnation, they would first assault the Templars, which was thought to be for the Emperor. The Templars gave power to the Sons of Damnation and made them powerful with magics of the Dark Gods. Once the Chapters landed, their number of cultists were huge and the Chapter had to clear out an entire city, called Gloryrim. This event would be called, 'The Dark Purging'. Once the Chapters were able to reach the temples, the Sons of Damnation were able to reach it first, this would be a bloody blow to all Chapters of the loyalist forces. Captain Kel'Thuzad held the loyalist forces for about 4 hours. However, they were not able to control it for long, as the Loyalists broke through the Sons' lines. Kel'thuzad was ordered to hold off the forces, to enable Chapter Master Colmev'um to reach his apotheosis as a Daemon Prince, however, Kel'thuzad had different plans, which would end the fighting quickly. Kel'thuzad took his men to the Master Domain, were the Chapter Master was turning, as the loyalists opened fire on their fortress-monastery. Kel'thuzad was done being controlled by bands of slavery - he wanted true power - he wanted the favor of the Dark Gods. Both Tzeentch and Slaanesh twisted the mind of Kel'thuzad to betray his master and take his role as the newly appointed Chapter Master. Kel'thuzad willingly obeyed the will of the Dark God and slew Colmev'um. He was then granted their favour and was given Colmev'um's dark powers, and quickly instilled himself as a self-serving tyrant. He gathered his warriors and fled to orbit, were they would make good their escape and search the galaxy for yet more dark powers to attain for themselves.
 * The Powers Call (553.M41) - The Sons of Damnation assault Watch Station Malochai, a Deathwatch fortress, which contained a powerful daemonic artefact, known as the Forbidden Book. Utilising their fell sorcery, the Sons of Damnation, and their Chaos Cultist followers erupt from Warp portals deep inside the Watch Station and begin their deadly assault. Once inside, the Chaos Cultists begin a ritual summoning while the Sons of Damnation began their search for the malefic book. The Sons forces are soon bolstered by an army of summoned daemons of Khorne. The Sons take advantage of the confusion caused by the conflagration, and make their way towards their objective. But the book is well protected within the Watch Station's vault. However, the Sons are able to bypass the automated defences and utilising high explosives, blows the vault door open. Claiming their prize, the Sons begin a hasty withdrawal. However, the Renegade Astartes did not count on the Deathwatch being bolstered by a Brotherhood of Grey Knights Space Marines. As the Sons' exit the Watch Station to reach their pickup points to be extracted by their Chapter's gunship transports, their way is blocked by the stalwart defenders of humanity. The ensuing battle between the two opposing forces is bloody in the extreme. Though the Sons take many casualties, they managed to affect their escape after First Captain Ner'zhul and his Terminator elite of the Sons' First Company, teleport amongst the Grey Knights and begin to slaughter the loyalist Astartes in a deadly crossfire. But the Grey Knights are not so easily defeated, and soon, using their innate gestalt psychic abilities, quickly turn the tables on the Chaos Terminators. The Sons of Damnation have what they have come for, and Tyrant Kel'thuzad and what's left of his surviving Sons' are able to affect their escape. Ner'zhul and only ten of his warriors manage to survive the encounter with the Grey Knights.
 * The Phantoms Strike (910.M41) - The Sons of Damnation assaults the world of Malphi IX, intent on making the vibrant Imperial world into a daemonic realm of Chaos. Summoning daemonic allies from the Immaterium, local sector Imperial Guard forces are hard pressed to halt the daemonic onslaught, and soon send a desperate astropathic distress signal. Their desperate pleas are answered in the form of an Imperial strike force comprised of three Loyalist Space Marine Chapters, including the Emperor's Phantoms, Imperial Blades and the Angels Herald, who were sent to wipe out the traitorous Sons of Damnation from the planet's surface. An intense battle raged for three weeks between the Imperial forces and the Forces of Chaos. All three loyalist Chapters took substantial losses, especially the Angels Herald, who only had 300 surviving Battle-Brothers by the battle's end. Sensing their impending defeat, the Sons of Damnation summon Warp portals and depart the planet's surface. The resultant fighting and the release of the Ætheric powers of the Warp, cause Malphi IX to be engulfed in baleful darkness for over a century.
 * Angels' Moment of Truth (956.M41) - The Angels Herald finally saw an opportunity to strike back at the Sons of Damnation, launching a vengeful assault against the Renegade Chapter to avenge their fallen Battle-Brothers who died during the Malphi IX campaign. After four decades of silence, the Sons of Damnation had finally revealed themselves, when they raided the Imperial world of Fourtheden. Their goal was to acquire more slaves for their gruesome experiments. The Angels Herald were a relatively young Chapter, impatient to mete out their anger against the vile renegades, and so, the loyalist Chapter wasted no time in launching a planetary assault. As the majority of the Chapter deployed to the capital city to prepare it for the inevitable assault, the elite veteran 1st Company and 8th Assault Company led the spearhead assault against the Chaos army, creating a thin cordon between the capital and the approaching horde of daemons and Chaos Cultists. These valiant defenders harried the Forces of Chaos, buying time for the Imperial forces to adequately prepare the city's defences. The Angels Herald stood shoulder-to-shoulder, orchestrating a valiant defence that stopped the Sons of Damnation's assault. The brutal battle rage for two weeks, until finally the Forces of Chaos managed to make a breach in the city's defences, and soon the heretic army poured into the city. Reinforced by the Chapter's war machines, the Angels Herald advanced upon the enemy. The ferocity of the Angels' counter-attack drove the Forces of Chaos into a hasty retreat. In the ensuing chaos, the Sons only managed to spirit away 100 Imperial citizens - a small price to pay, as billions more were saved, due in no small part to the valiant efforts of the Angels Herald. Sustaining few casualties and driving the Forces of Chaos from the planet, this campaign would go down in the Chapter's annals as a momentous victory.
