The '''Chain of Zeal ''' is a Devotion Chain of the Black Templars, It secures the weapon and armour with a permanent weld that lasts as long as the Space Marine serves. Because taking off a gauntlet with the chain still attached is a shameful act that entails great dishonour, the wearer of the Chain of Zeal must keep his armoured glove donned and weapon in hand every minute for the rest of his days.
Should the chain and weapon be forcibly removed, they can only be re-affixed with a ceremony by a Black Templars Chaplain.
