Order of the Thorn

Sisters of Battle Portal

Order of the Thorn symbol^[2]

The Order of the Thorn are a minor Order of the Sisters of Battle, that have adapted the martial practices of the Order of the Bloody Rose.^[1a]

In doing so, they seek to recreate the last moments of Saint Mina's life, by entering prolonged states of fury in battle. This turns the Order of the Thorn into whirlwinds of death, whose Sisters will either butcher their way to victory or make themselves martyrs. Those Sisters who do fall in battle are placed to rest in the Order's crypts, still covered in the ichor of their foes.^[1a]
