We are the Emperor’s hounds, to lie at the Emperor’s feet – Commander Simeon Ward, On
Fealty
'We fight the battles others cannot win, we suffer the pain others cannot endure, we face the horrors others cannot withstand.
For we are Astartes; this is our duty and we embrace it. – Reclusiarch Sacrifice
On the first day of the thirty-second millennium, the historic Third Founding was initiated. The Heresy was over, but the Imperium was still struggling, as Abaddon the Despoiler had recently launched his first Black Crusade from the Eye of Terror. And so for the first time in history, the High Lords of Terra decreed the founding of completely new Chapters, created with the genetic material of the old Legions. At least one of these Chapters was to be drafted into the Astartes Praeses, tasked with reinforcing Imperial control in the troubled space of Segmentum Obscurus and protecting the Imperium from further chaos invasions from the Eye of Terror. Chosen because of his Legion's unflinching bravery during the defence of Terra and to honour the supreme sacrifice he made for the Imperium, the Chapter was formed from the gene- seed of Rogal Dorn's Imperial Fists. A small cadre of veterans and specialists from the Imperial Fists were given the responsibility of training and leadership, and quickly began moulding the first young members of the Chapter into the ultimate defenders of humanity. They were named the Heralds of Light, for they would bring the Emperor's illumination to the darkest corners of the galaxy. Gifted with the mighty Battle Barge Imperatorae Tonitrus and several Strike Cruisers from the forges of Mars, the Heralds set sail towards the Segmentum Obscurus, slaying
countless foes on their way. After two centuries, their initial crusade came to an end with the First Defence of Luxia. This battle saw the entire Chapter deployed on and above Luxia, a planet cut off from the rest of the Imperium during the Horus Heresy and now under assault by a large warband of Word Bearers. Although they took grievous losses, the Heralds were victorious and were recognized as heroes and saviours by the Luxian people. The Luxians had fought bravely, despite their inferior equipment, and they had been fearless in the face of the traitors. Impressed, the Heralds decided that Luxia would become the Chapter's home world. Since that time the Heralds have made their name in the fight against Chaos, participating in several operations against emerging Chaos cults, including the five year-long campaign against the Breakers of Chains. During the Age of Apostasy, the Heralds were nearly wiped out fighting the traitor hordes taking advantage of the internal power struggle. The Chapter was spread thin during the Gothic War trying to contain the invading forces, hunting down bands of Raiders who managed to slip through the Cadian Gate. For nearly nine millennia the Heralds of Light have fought the enemies of the Emperor, and Luxia has been a bulwark in the defence of the Imperium. Thirteen of Abaddon’s Black Crusades have poured out from the Eye of Terror and every time the
