The ''''Liber Mithros'''' is the name given to an ancient codex of dark power given to the care of the [[Imperial Fists]] [[Chapter]].
===Overview===
According to [[Chaplain]] [[Carnak]] of the Imperial Fists 5th Company, the [[Emperor]] himself gifted the book to the chapter at its inception, making it at least over 20,000 years old. A shrine to house the tome was constructed on the world of [[Mithron]], protected by an entire company of Imperial Fists with attending [[Imperial Guard]] units.
In the 40th Millenium, the shrine came under a vicious attack by [[Black Legion]] traitor space marines, whom the Imperial Fists and Guardsmen managed to hold at bay for three weeks while calling for reinforcements. Then, a [[warp]] portal opened in the sky, unleashing a horde of [[daemons]] that massacred almost the entire garrison, desecrating the corpses thereafter. By the time [[Ultima Squad]] under [[Captain]] [[Severus]] of the [[Ultramarines]] arrived, only Carnak and brother [[Nidon]], who was charged with personally carrying and protecting the book, remained. Surviving another attack from the Black Legion, the remaining Fists and Ultramarines evacuated to the orbiting Ultramarine [[Strike Cruiser]]. When Severus is exposed to possessed by a daemon himself, he killed most of the marines, including Carnak, and took the book to the ship's reliquary with the plan of creating a portal over the Ultramarine homeworld of [[Macragge]] to grant the planet a similar grisly fate. This plan was narrowly foiled by Ultramarine brothers [[Proteus]] and [[Verenor]], and what became of the book is unknown.
The book will appear to be empty when dormant, but with dark incantations, writing will begin to appear in the pages that seem to allow the user to create a warp portal at the desired location.
