Order of the Wyrm
The Order of the Wyrm is a Genestealer Cult, that infests the Feudal World of Gorgomire.[1]
While they masqueraded as an elite and heroic order of bodyguards for their Governor-King, Archimayn XII, the Order hid their corruption beneath suits of armour. Archimayn's court magister, Bargo Xathus, was also a member of the Order, but had secretly joined a Chaos Cult that was active on Gorgomire. Sometime after the Great Rift's creation, the two Cults began attacking each other. This was just as Gorgomire was visited by the Ordo Xenos Inquisitor Loramon Valir and the Ordo Malleus Inquisitor Sythra Min, who had each come separately to destroy the Cults. When the Inquisitors became aware of each other, they agreed to work together to purge both the Genestealer and Chaos taint from Gorgomire.[1]
Guards of Castle Grimheart display a coiled golden drake symbol set upon a crimson background on their spears to show their allegiance to the Order.[1]
Knights of the Order of the Wyrm wore crimson cloaks and utilised Gorgomirian longswords, which could be used one- or two-handed.[1]
