(psst, an Order Minoris is a minor order of the Adepta Sororitas, not a section fo the Grey Knights chapter)

Also, two more "official" orders of the Adepta Sororitas. Order of the Ardent Flame and Order of the Fervent Heart These two are minor orders in Dawn of War: Soulstorm.

I hadn't seen this thread until now, but here goes: ORDER NAME: Order of the Sapphire Blade ORDER FOUNDING: 174.M38 ORDER MASTER: Canoness Emelia Stone ORDER CONVENT: Sapphus Sanctorum (essentially, the Sanctuary of Sapphus-- named after the ancient female greek poet) ORDER HISTORY: The Order of the Sapphire Blade was formed shortly after the end of the Age of Apostasy, to protect the relics preserved on the shrine world of Tellarin III, as well as to assist in protecting the ancient STC of their namesake. They have a long history of warfare against the traitorous legions that hide within the Maelstrom, having coordinated with the PDFs of the three planets to fend them off time and again over the ages, but until recently have never gone on the offensive. Indeed, it was complained that the order had become wasteful and even almost tyrannical to Tellarin III and its sister planet, Tellarin II (a forgeworld, where the population is underground due to the planet being too close to the sun). That changed with the recent succession of Canoness Emelia Stone, who-- while the seat of power was still from her predecessor, who died in a sudden raid that caught everyone by surprise. Through her reforms, the people of the two inhabited Tellarin planets began to revere the Sisters once again, and the Sisters themselves became an efficient military force without taking away any of their religiosity, and made the various Sisters that aspired to become Sister Superiors or higher ranked study military tactics along with Ecclesiarchal philosophy and doctrine, ensuring that their minds became as sharp as their swords. Since then, the Canoness began a series of crusades, coordinating with the regiments of Telarin Prime. With the blessing of the Ecclesiarchy, the Canoness has consolidated the worlds in systems surrounding the Telarin System, and now stands poised to strike at a world just inside the Maelstrom itself. Canoness Emelia Stone is now in her seventies, although she appears and fights as if she were in her late twenties or early thirties due to rejuvenat treatments. Due to her organizing the starting of a local Schola Progenium college, a new batch of Sisters have graduated and the order is now at its highest level, over nine thousand members, ready to expand her crusade with the help of the Tellarin Rifle Regiments. ORDER HOMEWORLD: Tellarin III is a civilized shrine world with balanced population and aggriculture production, dedicated to producing food for its sister planet, Tellarin II, and Imperial Guard forces that use the equipment Tellarin II creates. The equipment that the Order uses is produced almost entirelly at Tellarin II and surrounding systems. ORDER HERALDRY: A sapphire-blue sabre crackling with white lightning, upon a quartered shield. Upper left and lower right have navy blue blackgrounds and golden Fleur De Lis, while the other corners have black backgrounds with a golden Aquila on it. ORDER STANDARD: A golden Aquila clutching a sapphire-blue sabre.

For DIY Sisters orders, the appropriate thread would be here: http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/index.php?showtopic=38860

Yeah, but that order would go in the same place as DIY chapters. I just listed the officially named (gathered from the two codices, and various magazines and other releases such as Chapter Approved 2001) orders, which sadly are rather numbered.

That I know of: (Note, all of these begin with "Order of [...]", but I removed it to save space) For the Militant orders of the Adepta Sororitas, these are the official ones... yeah, only eight that I know of. Major Orders: The Ebon Chalice, The Argent Shroud, The Valorous Heart, Our Martyred Lady, The Bloody Rose, The Sacred Rose Minor Orders: The Eternal Gate, The White Rose Then for Non-Militant orders: Hospitaler: The Eternal Candle, The Cleansing Water, Serenity, the Torch Famulous: The Key, The Holy Seal, The Gate, The Sacred Coin Dialogous: The Holy Word, The Sacred Oath, The Quill, The Lexicon Sadly, that's all the official ones I know.

"This forum" no, but this thread, that would be up to the organizers.

I'm just wondering if you can include a separate list for Orders Militant of the Adepta Sororitas. I don't expect it, no, but it would be nice-- these are power armor armies, as well, and both the Sisters and the Marines fight under the same banner (that of the Imperium).
