Lycestra
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
Lycestra of the Nine Wounds is an Imperial Saint, who has a shrine dedicated to her on the world Struthian Tertius.[1]
History
During the 13th Black Crusade though, the Cult of the Eightfold Prophet attacked the shrine on the orders of its leader, the Rogue Psyker known as the Prophet. Despite being defended by Struthian Tertius's planetary militia, the Shrine of Saint Lycestra of the Nine Wounds would have fallen, had the Order of the Sacred Rose not answered the world's plea for aid. Led by the Celestian Sacresant Aveline Aboyé, the Sacred Rose's forces defeated the Cult and Aboyé personally killed the Prophet. With their leader's death, the remnants of the Cult fled from the battle and Lycestra's shrine was saved.[1]
