Writ Illuminat
The Writ Illuminat was a treaty penned between the Ecclesiarch Goge Vandire and the Fabricator General Gastaph Hediatrix during the Age of Apostasy, which established that the Brides of the Emperor, Goge Vandire's new bodyguards would be armed in perpetuity by the Adeptus Mechanicus.[1]
History
The treaty ensured that the Ecclesiarchal bodyguard had the tools of warfare necessary to exterminate any threats to the High Lord's power, as well as granting certain undisclosed freedoms to the Adeptus Mechanicus with regard to Vandire's enforcement of the Imperial Creed.[1]
After Vandire's execution at the hand of Alicia Dominica, and the establishment of the Adepta Sororitas as the militant force of the Ministorum, the Writ Illuminat was reaffirmed by Sebastian Thor, and has been again by each subsequent Ecclesiarch. To the Sororitas, the Writ is not only vital in providing them with weapons and armour, but symbolises the communion between their sect and that of the Martians in exterminating Vandire. By its words, they know the adepts of the Omnissiah to be true servants of the Emperor, despite the Tech-Priests' unusual faith.[1]
