Early M36 Thirteenth/Dark Founding. This is the only founding for which the Adeptus Terra does not have records or copies of geneseed. Codex: Ultramarines p. 8
Foundings Fourteen through Twenty.
Twenty First/Cursed Founding. Takes place shortly before the Age of Apostasy. Largest founding since the Second Founding. Several experiments are made to improve the gene-seed of the new chapters; the experiments have the unforeseen effect of creating seemingly cursed Chapters. Fire Hawks, Flame Falcons, Black Dragons, and other chapters are created. Several chapters mutate horribly or suffer terrible misfortune. Flame Falcons eventually suffer a spontaneous and extreme physical corruption - the whole Chapter is declared Excommmunicate and driven from its home world of Lethe by the Grey Knights.
Gervahrt Repeal. Only occasion where a Black Templar High Marshal stopped the promotion of a Sword Brethren to a Marshal. Unknown reasons and date. Codex: Black Templars (4th Edition), page 13

Wars of Vindication. Shortly after the rise of High Lord Goge Vandire, Tziz Jarek Master of the Callidus Assassins, under Vandire's orders, kills the Grand Master of Assassins and assumes his identity - but the Grand Master had actually replaced himself with a loyal Callidus assassin, and gathers loyal assassins to wage war against this usurper, and both sides use horrible weapons of destruction. Finally the Grand Master kills Jarek and then disappears in self-imposed exile. Inquisitor Jaeger, after investigating the wars, eventually creates the Ordo Sicarius to monitor the Officio Assassinorum and prevent such an occurrence again.
Goge Vandire journeys to San Leor, where he uses his rosarius to convince the Daughters of the Emperor that he has the Emperor's grace and protection. The Daughters become his personal bodyguards, the Brides of the Emperor. The Brides slaughter the Holy Synod in response to their attempt to remove Vandire from power. Dark Heresy: Blood of Martyrs pg. 11
ca. 238.M36 Sebastian Thor is born on Dimmamar. Ibid. pgs. 12, 36
Goge Vandire despatches his Frateris Militia to Dimmamar to kill Sebastian Thor. A Warp storm obliterates the fleet as soon as it translates out of the Clax system. The persistent Warp storm is named the Storm of the Emperor's Wrath and taken as a sign that Vandire has dishonoured the Emperor. The Confederation of Light comes out of hiding to ally with Thor and they travel from world to world, spreading their word. Ibid. pg. 12
Fabricator-General Gastaph Hediatrix calls for Goge Vandire to come to account before the Holy Synod. Vandire dissolves the Council of the High Lords of Terra in response and orders the few remaining forces under his command to attack the Adeptus Mechanicus and Adeptus Astartes who question his authority. They do not comply and are condemned as heretics. Zhoros (The Fire Hawks' home world) is thermal bombed. Ibid; Imperial Armour Volume Nine - The Badab War - Part One pg. 66
The combined forces of the Tech Guard and four chapters of Space Marines lay siege to the Emperor's Palace. The Captain-General of the Adeptus Custodes leads Alicia Dominica and five Brides of the Emperor to the Golden Throne. When they return, Dominica declares Goge Vandire a traitor and beheads him, cleaving through the rosarius that had protected him long ago on San Leor. Ibid. pg. 13
The Council of the High Lords of Terra is reinstated and trials are conducted against Goge Vandire's supporters. Sebastian Thor is taken to Terra and put on trial. He refutes every charge and the High Lords return a verdict of not guilty on all counts. Thor is instated as Ecclesiarch; his first acts include establishing the Synod Ministra on Ophelia VII, subdividing the Holy Synod's dioceses, and proclaiming the Decree Passive to forbid the Ecclesiarchy from maintaining men under arms. The Daughters of the Emperor are reorganized into the Adepta Sororitas, obeying the letter of the decree by not being "men" under arms. Thor gifts the Fire Hawks with a Warp-capable star fortress, the Raptorous Rex. Ibid pgs. 14, 15; Imperial Armour Volume Nine - The Badab War - Part One pg. 66
