House Ioeden is a Traitor Knight House.[1]

Overview

Having once stood guardian of two dozen worlds during the Age of Strife, at some point treachery from within toppled their empire. In time, the Knights of House Ioeden became little more than raiders who held onto their once-glorious past. They initially resisted assimilation into the Imperium during the Great Crusade but eventually agreed to comply under promises of their empire being restored once more. Disparate elements of the House each joined a different Expeditionary Fleet, their commander seeing themselves as the rightful High King once their House stood united.[2b]

Eventually the Imperium restored their empire but placed off-world foreigners in command of it. Hope was replaced by bitterness and it was in this context that they secretly joined the forces of the Warmaster during the Horus Heresy.[2b] The Knight House revealed its treachery amid the Defence of Ryza, switching sides during the initial battle and thus allowing the Traitors to capture Ryza's crucial Conveyance Terminus Nine-Omega Spaceport.[2a] After demonstrating its true allegiance, House Ioeden's Knights united for the first time in millennia, and fell upon their home worlds of old, butchering those still loyal to the Emperor. Thus, House Ioeden once again became known as honourless raiders who would march under false banners and betray their allies.[2b] The House subsequently fought beside Legio Vulpa in the Battle of Beta-Garmon.[1]
