Editing Eclipse Lords (section)

==Chapter Beliefs==

The Eclipse Lords believe in Loyalty above all else, that those who are Human, Astartes, Xeno or even Mutant have a place in the universe, so long as they accept the Emperor as their lord and serve him with unwavering loyalty. Unsurprisingly, then, they have a fondness for Ratlings, due to the tiny humans amazing eyesight and hand-eye-coordination.

The Eclipse Lords are rarely seen by the civilians of their worlds, however, the far from myth-status as some other Legions and Chapters are. They recruit by sending out Vicars (Humans that wish to join their Chapter, but did not test highly enough for Gene-Seed implantation) who preach in the giant monasteries of the Hive-Cities. Teaching that the greatest joy any human can feel is the love of The Emperor, and the thrill of fighting in his name.

As with every chapter, they believe in the end times, when the Space Marines will take part in the final battle to decide the rulers of the universe. On that day, it will be the duty of each and every member of the Eclipse Lords to choose an enemy commander and make sure that they do not survive the battle. If successful, then death will be irrelevant, as those who die achieving their goal will earn the Emperor's favour and be reborn.

The Great Howl plays a prominent role in the long term plans of the Chapter, specifically because one school of thought is that the mysterious Space Marine is an astral projection of the Emperors consciousness, sent forth to assist them in their darkest hour. Others believe that he is multiple Space Marines, that one Great Howl trains a new one as he gets too old to continue, although, considering the long life of a Space Marine, and it's likelihood to end at any second, due to the nature of the universe, many of the scribes have written this off as "Wishful thinking, put forth by those who wish to emulate his glory." Another leading belief is that he is their lost Primarch that returned to destroy those who corrupted his Gene-Seed. If possible, they wish to locate him and instate him as their one true apostle that will lead them to the greatest victories imaginable.
