→The Blood Oath
During the siege of the [[Shrinehold of Saint Sabbat]] on [[Hagia]] in 770, Colonel-Commissar [[Ibram Gaunt]] of the [[Tanith First and Only]] related the story to his second officer, Major [[Elim Rawne]]. Gaunt had been one of Slaydo's favored, and was one of the forty-eight who swore the blood oath with the great Warmaster. Gaunt had been ordered by Lord General Lugo to remove the Saint's relics from the Shrinehold in the wake of a coming Chaos fleet. Remembering the blood oath after viewing the incorrupt remains of the Saint, Gaunt chose to disobey Lugo's orders, and would instead defend the Shrinehold from the Chaos forces.<sup>1</sup>
