Aurea (Canoness)
Aurea is a Canoness of the Order of the Valorous Heart, whose forces were stationed within a cathedral-fortress on Daronch.[1]
Sometime after the Great Rift's creation, however, the world was invaded by the Ork horde of Warboss Grashbakh. Though, the Sisters were charged with defending Daronch, they were overwhelmed when the Warboss crashed his scrap-ship into their fortress. The Canoness and surviving Sisters were then forced to retreat, while Grashbakh's Orks emerged to attack Daronch. The later arrival of the Black Templars' Edioch Crusade, however, gave the world's population a chance at survival. The Templars, led by Marshal, Adelbert, and the surviving Sisters of the Valorous Heart, led by Aurea, were then able to fight their way to the fortress, which the Warboss now ruled from. While the ensuing battle cost the Imperial forces dearly, they were able to kill Grashbakh and destroy his horde's forces within the fortress. This broke the Orks' hold on Daronch and the Emperor's Champion Cenric, who had taken command of the Crusade after Adelbert's death in the battle, vowed to Aurea that they would work together to fortify the world from any further attacks.[1]
