Burning Walk
The Burning Walk is a ritual of the Salamanders Space Marine Chapter. Usually not done physically, it is a spiritual journey, conducted in isolation, undertaken by a Salamander so that (according to Nocturne custom and the cult of Prometheus) a warrior who has not died in battle, but can fight for glory no more, can claim some dignity and myth in his last days[1].
