Editing Throne Bearers (section)

==Chapter Beliefs==

Most Chapters formed during the Second Founding pattern themselves closely on their Progenitor Legion, and the Throne Bearers are no exception to this trend. They are men of stout heart and high moral caliber, bringing death to the Emperor's foes as surely as they endeavor to uplift those who would be Terra's allies. Regrettably, this tendency to show mercy when and where they could proved to be their undoing, as they sought to halt the Vetrovnak first with words, raising their blades a moment too late. 

During their short but impressive existence as a Chapter, the Throne Bearers crusaded across hundreds of worlds in the Great Scouring's wake, offering swift judgement to Traitors, but an outstretched hand to those who showed sincere repentance. The Throne Bearers did their Primarch's legacy proud, helping countless populations rejoin the Imperial fold after having been tricked by heretic lies and sparing entire sectors from the horrific vengeance more bloodthirsty Chapters might have wreaked. Though the Throne Bearers are now long gone from Imperial ranks, their legacy lives on with planet after planet of fanatic Imperial loyalists who have never forgotten recieving mercy when they needed it most. 

The Throne Bearers felt themselves duty-bound to bear the weight of legacy and duty upon their backs with pride, and every Neophyte was instructed to walk "as if the Emperor's very gaze rested upon their shoulders", to stand straight and proud no matter the circumstances, and to shun any action which might taint them in Terra's eyes. It is said that Astartes shall know no fear, but it is also told that the Throne Bearers had never even heard of the concept, for not once in their history had they shied away from doing the right thing, no matter the consequences. In a galaxy of war and horror, these men did their level best to hold on to their humanity, looking to the dawn even in darkness. 

Yet in the end, the sun never rose.
