From Lexicanum

Jump to: navigation, search

The Mordian Iron Guard are an Imperial Guard regiment from the planet Mordian. It is a harsh and unforgiving planet, and given to extremes. It is ruled in the Emperor's name by a body known as the Tetrarchs. The rule of the Tetrarchs is harsh, autocratic and above all absolute. This environment has bred a regimental system dedicated to the chain of command and an iron discipline at all levels. The Mordian troops themselves are named and renowned for their iron resolve and their dour and unforgiving natures.
