The '''Serpent Lodge''' was the name given to both a group of suspected [[Chaos]] cultists and their Temple on the planet of [[Davin]]. The Lodge members treated [[Warmaster]] [[Horus]] for the crippling injury he received campaigning on Davin's moon, and the Lodge itself is the location where Horus was turned against the [[Emperor]] as part of an elaborate scheme by the [[Word Bearers]] and [[Ruinous Powers]].

The '''Temple of the Serpent Lodge''', also known as the '''Delphos''', was an imposing stone building set in the middle of a huge crater that had a diameter of thousands of metres. The crater was located at the end of a long valley, and the chief way to approach it by land involved traveling along a stone causeway set along the bottom of the valley. The causeway was lined with crumbling statues of ancient Davinite kings.{{Fn|1a}}

The Serpent Lodge existed for many years on [[Davin]]'s moon, worshiping the [[Dark Gods]]. During the [[Great Crusade]] when the planet was brought into [[Imperial]] compliance by the [[Luna Wolves]] and [[Word Bearers]], the warriors of Davin fought under the banner of the Serpent Lodge, and gained the respect of the [[Legiones Astartes]] for their martial culture and prowess despite their [[Feral World]] status. After the Davin campaign the first [[Warrior Lodge]]s were secretly established by the treacherous Word Bearers throughout the Astartes Legiones in a bid to usurp loyalty to the [[Emperor]]. Unknown to most, the Warrior Lodges were heavily based on the Davinite Serpent Lodge.{{Fn|3}}
