Shadryss
Shadryss was an Imperial Fists Chaplain who journeyed to Terra as part of his duties to his Chapter to place the scrimshawed hands of his Battle Brothers in the Pillar of Bone monument. To those on Terra the Pillar of Bone is known as being dedicated to the Imperial Fists' courage during an unnamed campaign, but Shadryss, who viewed the history of his Chapter as a sacred thing, knew its true history. It was in reality the last remnant of the Imperial Fists' once-great Fortress Monastery, that was destroyed when Terra was invaded during the Horus Heresy.[1]
As Shadryss reached the Pillar of Bone however, he met a young pilgrim named Darnath Lysander, who told the Chaplain of the dangerous journey he had just completed to reach Terra; a journey that had resulted in the death of his parents and nearly him as well. Once Lysander had completed his harrowing tale, Shadryss knew at once that the boy being present at such a sacred site to the Imperial Fists, was a sign from his Primarch Rogal Dorn and immediately recruited Lysander as an Aspirant for his Chapter.[1]
