→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 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>
Dominica led her sisters for several centuries, overseeing the early years of the Adepta Sororitas and leading her Sisters on many crusades, before finally falling in battle at the Scourging of Frideswide's World. It was recorded that she survived literally hundreds of wounds before one [[lasgun]] blast finally found a weakness in her armor and pierced her heart.<sup>3a</sup>
