'''Montgisard''' was a chapter keep of the [[Black Templars]], located on the [[Imperial]] world [[Stygia XII]].{{Fn|1}}
The keep was constructed some four thousand years before [[M41]], before the existence of any permanent [[human]] settlement on Stygia XII , on the order of [[Marshal (Black Templars)|Marshal]] [[Gervhart]] to act as a base from which to conduct the [[Athelor Crusade]]. After thousands of years of faithful service, the keep was abandoned by the [[Chapter]], having fulfilled its purpose.{{Fn|1}}
Some time later, the Imperium officially settled Stygia XII. There were no records of the Black Templars outpost, which was still standing when the first settlers arrived and as a result, the structure was the source of superstition. Many of the native populace believed that the structure, which they knew as '''Stormhelm''' was haunted, and some even thought that the keep was of [[xenos]] origin.{{Fn|1}}
