Editing Guardians of the Covenant (section)

==Origins==
It is known only to few Guardians themselves from which time their Chapter stems. Knowledge is power, and the origins of the Chapter are secrets well guarded deep within the catacombs of the Spire, a vast baroque Fortress-Monastery hidden deep within the mountains of Mortikah VII. The only thing that is certain, is the fact the Guardians of the Covenant were founded to stand vigil against the [[Xenos|horrors]] that lurk beyond the Halo Stars, on the edge of the Segmentum Pacificus. [[Inquisitor]]s place the founding of the Chapter around M34, though their chapter iconography (the crossed swords) is identical to that of the original [[Deathwing]] of the [[Dark Angels|First Legion]] during the [[Great Crusade]]. During their millennia-long existence, the Chapter has stood watch over a region of space from which many alien threats find their origin. One of their better-known exploits is their rescue of an entire sub-sector during the [[Lelith]] Incursion. Described as a "particularly appaling" Xenos subjugation by 40K standards, one can only wonder what [[Slaanesh|manner of sick fuckery they put an end to]]. To better understand the myriad threats the galaxy has to offer, the brothers of the Guardians of the Covenant took upon themselves to record and catalog all knowledge and information they could gather. It is this the Battle-Brothers of the Chapter are renowned for and it has earned them both praise and ire from the various institutions the [[Imperium]] consists of.
