Forge-wright
The Forge-wrights were a unique brotherhood within the Dark Angels Legion's Ironwing, that served as a parallel and independent reservoir of machine lore offered by the Legion's Techmarines.[1a]
Overview
Following the earliest forebears of the Ironwing, the Forge-wrights learned their arts from the Enginesires and Artisan-lords of Terra's ancient forges who were known as the Theologiteks of Narodnya.[1a][1b] They guided the Forge-wright’s learning, encouraging the accumulation of wisdom rather than lore and of reason rather than dogma. Their studies included heretechnika that would be burned on sight on Mars, infernal war machines that consumed the flesh of the slain as fuel, and worse, diabolical engines whose Silica Animus harked back to the blood-soaked legends of prehistory, machines capable of offering divine providence and fortune in battle in exchange for the blood of a willing sacrifice.[1b]
Between them, the Dark Angels' Forge-wrights and Techmarines were able to tend to all but the most arcane and intemperate of the Legion's technologies themselves.[1a]
They were equipped with Artificer Harnesses.[1]
