The Sanctuary of Ash — Dramatis Personae

Tracked on Administratum • 0 RP Remaining • +1 Crusade Point (Lord Marshal Dreir) • Shipboard Slider Rules in Alpha's Briefing Tab

🎖️ The Exile — Rogal Dorn Commander ("Mercy's Delay") Warlord • 265 Pts • Enhancement: Calm Under Fire

Once a decorated Cadian Shock Officer who survived the Fall of Cadia and emerged unscathed from seven doomed last stands—declared "cursed" by his comrades and claimed by the Krieg as a living indictment. Commands a salvaged Rogal Dorn retrofitted with Krieg siege dozer blades and Sororitas purity seals that burn his skin when touched.

• Special Rule ("Mercy Delayed Again"): Surviving a Horde Mode Round 6 Final Stand in which 3+ friendly Krieg units were destroyed grants The Exile +1 bonus XP and lets one destroyed Krieg Battleline unit swap a failed Out of Action Battle Scar for "Absolved in Ash" (Feel No Pain 6+ within 6" of The Exile).
• Session 0 Deed (Sector Node 0 — Golgotha Arbor-Basin): Held the right forest flank during the Sororitas audit before "Mercy's Delay" was disabled in the closing salvos—dragged alive from the smoking wreckage once again.
• Narrative Honours & Scars ("Scars Are Stories"): None yet (0 XP • Battle-Ready).
⚔️ Lord Marshal Dreir — Epic Hero of Krieg Epic Hero • 70 Pts • Inspirational Champion (+1 CrP)

The unyielding cavalry spearhead of the penitentiary column, leading his Death Riders directly into the thickest empyric breaches of the ash wastes.

• Mighty Champion Rule (Inspirational Champion): Ignore all Battle Scars on the Bodyguard unit Dreir leads, AND select one additional unit to be Marked for Greatness (+3 XP) at the end of every battle!
• Session 0 Deed (Golgotha Arbor-Basin): Led the cavalry charge into the Sororitas lines and fell in the crucible of fire before being recovered by the Krieg Quartermasters.
💥 2x Leman Russ Vanquishers — "The Shrine-Breakers" Armored Tank Hunters • 145 Pts Each

Recorded only by cold serial hull-numbers on High Sanctum manifests, speaking their nickname aloud on the upper decks is a flogging offense. Yet down by the corpse-starch vats of the Lower Decks, the troopers only ever call them "The Shrine-Breakers"—tapping their shovel-blades twice against their helmets whenever the long-barreled hulls rumble past.

• Session 0 Deed (Golgotha Arbor-Basin): While 40 Kriegsmen brawled in the central forest clearing, these two Vanquishers calmly locked onto the gilded Sororitas reliquaries and blew every single Sororitas war-machine sky-high in catastrophic, chain-reaction fireballs—creating the permanent Graveyard of Stained Glass at Sector Node 0!
• Session 0 Legacy Perk: The first time either of the Shrine-Breakers reaches the Blooded rank (6 XP), it may re-roll its Weapon Modification or Battle Trait roll for free!
💀 The Unseen Jury & 🔫 Dravik, The Silent Judge Krieg Command Squad (65 Pts • Stalwart's Honours) & Commissar (30 Pts)

The Unseen Jury enforces the Sororitas' will through sanctioned purges, leaving spent shell casings in neat rows like rosary beads. Commissar Dravik never raises his voice—executing overly zealous Kriegers with a single shot to the back of the skull for "wasting the Emperor's currency," guided by orders scrawled in blood on the walls of the ship's brig.

Inducted Nemesis Ledger & Commander Beta's Heroes

Slaying any inducted Nemesis on the battlefield grants the killer unit +2 bonus XP and scores +1 Strategic Point for your Alliance!

🪽 Saint Celestine — "The Ashen Seraph of the High Sanctum" Inducted Campaign Nemesis #1 • High Sanctum Warden

After watching the Krieg Shrine-Breakers detonate every Sororitas war-engine in the forest clearing of Sector Node 1 during Session 0, Celestine descended from the ash-clouds directly into the Krieg rear deployment zone—slaughtering the rear guard, wiping out the Krieg officer corps, and stealing the Krieg home objective to clinch a 3-VP Sororitas victory!

• Campaign Role: Serves as the NPC Warden of the High Sanctum (deploying against Commander Alpha if the Shipboard Slider hits -3 Brig Abyss)—or leads Commander Beta's Adepta Sororitas if Beta chooses to share The Sanctuary of Ash!
🚩 Aestred Thurga & Agathae Dolan — Keepers of the Penitentiary Ledger High Sanctum Auditors • Adepta Sororitas

Cut down a forward Krieg Scout Sentinel on the left flank in Round 1 of Session 0 with Devastating Wounds (generating a Miracle Die of 4), then weathered 11 point-blank Krieg shovel attacks without failing a single 3+ armor save—before having the forest bunker stolen out from under them by 4 Kriegsmen flexing 8 OC!
