A game of roll on the Order Creation Table resulted in an Ordo Dialogous that is an unholy fusion of Alpha Legion and Night Lords. Fighting via subterfuge and terror, these are the sisters of The Order of the Obsidian Mirror. Very much a WIP, so feel free to join in.

Short Summary

The Order of the Obsidian Mirror is of the Orders Digalogus. The order was founded for a crusade and drew many of its initial members from the Order of the Ebon Chalice. Their homeworld is a shrine world dominated largely by cold weather, leaving much of the planet covered in expanses of arctic and subarctic biomes. They don't rule it, they do offer their advice to its government.

While the Order of the Obsidian Mirror is ostensibly non-militant, it none the less posses a fighting force thanks to its specialization in military intelligence, covert action, and psychological warfare and are noted for their use of terror tactics to cow an enemy into submission with minimal effort expended. Given that their modus operandi requires a good deal of knowledge about their enemy, their motives, and their operations combined with their unwillingness to cut corners and do everything methodically they are not viewed well by the Ecclessiarchy; the fact that their organization structure is unique and highly flexible and they put a great deal of veneration into their Canoness Superior who had vanished off to Emperor knows where (they insist she still lives and has not replaced her position) does little to help them in that regard.

Allies: Adeptus Arbites Enemies: Chaos affiliated rebels/traitor. Special Equipment: Modified Jump-packs

Original Rolls

Just copying... will make pretty later

Order Dialogus, Daughters of the Order of the Ebon Chalice, founded, oddly enough, for crusade. Demeanour is No Mercy, No Respite. Angry Battle Nerds, and as you might expect they do not follow standard organization. (rolled a 10) Terror is their combat doctrine. Scary, Angry Librarian Battle Nuns. With special stealth jump packs.

They are on good terms with the Arbites and Inquisition, arch-foes of Chaos. For a number of reasons they are on bad terms with the ecclesiarchy.

At full strength, they're based on the frigid Shrine World of , which they advise.

Order hero is Canoness Superior Donatica, who is missing but shall someday return!---Chapter beliefs are Honour the Heroine.

Characters

Sister Donatica

Disapearance

Sister Erilaphia Donatica was the Canoness Superior of the Order of the Obsidian Mirror, bearer of the Book of Ask'ent, a book supposedly written by Sebastien Thor on the nature of Daemons and the Warp, and holder of the Mirror of the Night, was visited one night, by strange figures. Their pale faces contrasted with their lurid clothes. They moved with ethereal grace. Donatica is reputed to have looked up from here desk, having been tirelessly studying the Book of Ask'ent, when the young Sister informed her of the visitors. Donatica is said to have been irritated by the interruption, but when she saw the figures, she went white. The lead figure is said to have declared, in slightly halting Gothic, "We shall perform the Dance. Then you will come with us."

The performance was beautiful, and all were entranced by the fluid movements of these visitors. when it was over, the leader beckoned to Donatica. Donatica grimaced, her legendary stubbornness and loyalty to her sisters nearly overcoming her curiosity. But, as she left with the figures, she said "Fear not sisters, I will return. nothing will stop me."

To Do

Emblem

Also, I had an idea for an emblem. A round disc with bladed teeth around the perimeter. If you will, a mirror made of obsidian that cannot be picked up barehanded without it slicing your fingers off; representing that one can look into the darkness as they do without being armored by faith and guided by the proper knowledge.
