Twilight Swords Homeworld: Gladius IV[1]

The Twilight Swords are a Space Marine Chapter.^[1]

Overview

Founded on the storm world of Gladius IV, the Twilight Swords Chapter reveres skill at arms above all else. A series of ritual duels determines how high its members can rise in rank, although defeat rarely results in death. Instead, a Twilight Sword who loses a challenge is inspired to train harder and learn new skills for their next attempt. Although this commitment to excellence is admirable, the Twilight Swords' pride is ever a source of concern; as they constantly struggle to avoid having a tactically sound battle plan, devolve into a series of one-to-one duels during combat. The Twilight Swords' Commanders and Chaplains lead by example and exact harsh discipline to rein in the duellist tendencies of their brethren.^[1]
