Iron Hearts

"We know nothing of honor. We lost so much. My mind. My heart. In one day, long ago, we fought for glory until He stole it from us. I begged. No, I protested. I broke free from Him. But to find forgiveness, it was impossible. We were once the guardians of humanity. The knights among the stars. We have no honor. We never did."

- Arrven Feirros, Praetor of the Iron Hearts

The Iron Hearts are warriors of broken wills and hearts. Some say they were cursed by a dark shadow that has long determined its fate. Others claim the constant struggle of mind and body among its Praetor bring the warband to the brink of destruction numerous times.

For those who have fought the Iron Hearts, these are but mere rumors. For the constant infighting is meaningless as the Iron Hearts have proved effective in the field against whoever faces them.

In the beginning the Iron Hearts were proud and loyal sons of the Imperium. Their skill and valor won numerous accolades among Imperial Officers and the Emperor himself during the height of the Great Crusade. However, like all things, this was not their path nor was their future certain.

The Great Schism broke much of the loyal legions away from the Emperor. Those who were loyal maintained their arms ready for battle against the traitor and the heretic. However, the Iron Hearts, despondent of their Primarch's choices in the opening stages of the Civil War, Praetor Arrven Feirros sought to rejoin the Imperium that he fought so hard to protect.

However, his efforts were meaningless when his fleet was attacked by an Imperium bolstered for bloodshed. Ousted by own brothers and by the Father of the Imperium, the Iron Hearts set a course to find their path of redemption. But with each step, the Iron Hearts face struggle after struggle against feared ancient threats and its own leadership.
