The War for Piety was a war between the Sisters of Battle of the Imperium and the Chaos Daemons in 835.M41.[1]

Overview

The Shrine World of Piety rematerialized to the Materium after being swallowed by the Warp two centuries earlier. The planet however has been transformed into a hideous Daemon World. Canoness Sariah of the Order of the Sacred Rose immediately led a force of Battle Sisters to the planet to retrieve the artifacts from the Reliquary of Hope, one of the few sites that had withstood the corruption. As the rest of her forces established a permieter around the reliquary, Sariah led several squads into the labyrinth corridors beneath. For three days Sariah and her Sisters battle through monster-infested passageways, Flesh Hounds, and Beasts of Nurgle. Only Sariah and two Celestians survive to rejoin the Battle Sisters on the surface, having recovered the left thighbone of Saint Dolan and three pages from the Lexicon of Falsehoods from the stasis vault. The surviving Battle Sisters withdraw to orbit with their prize just as a fleet of Grey Knight vessels arrive to lay waste to the planet with cyclonic torpedoes in an Exterminatus.[1]
