The fortified door of the Chapterhouse office seals with a definitive thud. Elystra, counted among the seven highest templars of the Order, stands encased in her battle-plate, a statue of wrathful grace.

'How did you permit heretics to overrun a defenseless settlement? Does the rank of commander mean nothing to you? My disappointment is profound.'
