Sons of Enlightenment

"Follow the plan! The traitors shall fall; the Emperor granted us a vision of triumph."

- Blood Ravens Librarian Ibrahim, at the Battle of Gravitas

The Sons of Enlightenment are a Loyalist Space Marine Chapter of unknown origins and founding. The origins of the Sons of Enlightenment are believed to date post 546.M32 however little else is known. The Sons of Enlightenment suffer from a genetic flaw of the Catalepsean Node preventing them from sleep, the only relief that the members of the chapter receive is the psycho-trances that the chapter Librarians routinely send them into. A deep sleep like state where visions both truthful and false are often seen. This Genetic mutation is also believed to produce a some level psychic tendency, with all recruits showing at least minimal levels of psychic activity after implantation.

This secretive Chapter has a fanatical pursuit of knowledge, believing that the acquisition of information is the key to defeating  all enemies of the Imperium, accordingly they rely  on the ancient doctrine “know your enemy”. The Sons of Enlightenment are renowned for their obsession with recovering  information and technology. Which at times has been of concern to their allies due to the Sons of Enlightenment’s nature of ignore mission objectives in order to transport found tomes and relic back to their Battle Barge before continuation with the task at hand.
