Laurels of Ultramar
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
The Laurels of Ultramar are an item granted to the Novamarines marking their completion of a pilgrimage to the Shrine of the Primarch on Macragge. It symbolises the close ties between the Novamarines and Ultramarines Chapters.[1]
As a Second Founding Successor of the Ultramarines, the Novamarines deeply revere their Primarch, Roboute Guilliman, but the distance between the Novamarines' homeworld, Honourum, and Ultramar means that contact between the two chapters is somewhat infrequent. Completing a pilgrimage to the Shrine of the Primarch is regarded by the Novamarines as a high honour, looked on with awe by the chapter's junior brothers.[2]
