Overview
Located on the tropical and dangerous world of Maleer, the House maintains an ancient grudge against the Adeptus Mechanicus and curtails their activity on Maleer as much as they can. They have served the Adeptus Terra faithfully since the Macharian Crusade, but house records indicate they have existed as far back as the Great Crusade. The House's distant past is shrouded in mystery and is filled with warnings of past dealings with the Mechanicum who tried to play them false. This distrust of the Mechanicum has caused them to nearly come to blows with the nearby Forge World of Eskutchax.[1]
Long ago, Sacristans of Vandensarg discovered dense bones of some gigantic organism were rich in metal bearing compounds, and began using them to repair their Knights' armour. Over time, this has become a ritualistic aspect and some of the Knights are now named for the great beasts they slew and subsequently used to repair their machines.[1]
The nobles of the house are dubbed Greves, and have a savage reputation as hunters who drape their Knights in trophies taken from the colossal beasts of their world. They revel in close combat, with the Knight Preceptor being the most common pattern.[1]
