Order of the Iron Rosethorn
The Order of the Iron Rosethorn are a minor Order of the Sisters of Battle, who reside on the Cardinal World Argolish within the Argovon System.[1]
Much like their Homeworld, the Iron Rosethorn embraced the Emperor through the blessings of nature and had three hundred members, when the Necron invaded the Argovon System. The Indomitus Crusade's Task Force XI would later come to the System's aid and the Argovon Campaign began. Argolish would be invaded by the Necron as well and the Order of the Iron Rosethorn aided in their Homeworld's defense. However when they later learned that the remains of the Adepta Sororitas Saint Befonica had been rediscovered, the Order raced to rescue them. While they were ultimately successful in bringing back the Saint's remains to Imperial held territory, many of the Iron Rosethorn's Sisters died in in battle with the Necron, to do so. For unknown reasons, specific details of the Order's battles with the invading Xenos, while recovering the Saint Befonica's remains, appear to have never been recorded.[1]
