==The Reformation and beyond==
In the aftermath of Vandire's tyranny, [[Sebastian Thor]] reformed the shattered [[Adeptus Ministorum]].<sup>1c</sup> Following Thor's instructions, Dominica formally established the Sisterhood - the Orders Militant of the Adepta Sororitas,<sup>3a</sup> with the Sisters divided between between the Convents on [[Terra]] and [[Ophelia VII]]<sup>1e</sup> and with Dominca herself as both founder and overall patron.<sup>3b</sup>
Over time the Adepta Sororitas numbers grew to over 10,000 Sisters and Sebastian Thor's successor, Ecclesiarch Alexis XXII, divided the Convents' forces into two Orders each<sup>1e</sup> <sup>2b</sup> - the Order of the Ebon Chalice and the [[Order of the Argent Shroud]] on Terra and the [[Order of the Valorous Heart]] and [[Order of Our Martyred Lady|Order of the Fiery Heart]] on Ophelia VII.<sup>1d</sup> Of these four groups, the Order of the Ebon Chalice was established as Dominica's own personal Order.<sup>3a</sup>
