Typically, orders consist of thousands of Sisters.{{Fn|1}}may refer to:
==History==In the beginning, there were only four [[Orders Militant]] created by Sister [[Alicia Dominica]] and her three fellow Crusading Sisters: Sister [[Silvana]], Sister [[Lucia]], and Sister [[Katherine]]. * [[Order of Our Martyred Lady]] (Sister Katherine, Formerly Order of the Fiery Heart)* [[Order of the Valorous Heart]] (Sister Lucia)* [[Order of the Ebon Chalice]] (Sister Alicia DominicaAdepta Sororitas)* [[Order of the Argent Shroud]] (Sister Silvana) Then mid [[38th Millennium]], two Orders were added by [[Ecclesiarch]] [[Deacis VI]]. The [[Order of the Bloody Rose]] was created to honour Sister [[Mina]] and the [[Order of the Sacred Rose]] was created to honour Sister [[Arabella]]. Although neither Sister Mina or Sister Arabella led their fellow Sisters into battle, they were martyred just the same and honoured as such. Later, Orders were created to deal with non-combatant roles. They were the [[Orders Hospitaller]] (dealing with medical aid and purification of the body), [[Orders Famulous]] (dealing with law, diplomacy and relations between the [[Ecclesiarchy]] and the Imperium), and Orders Dialogous (dealing with research, preaching, and communication). Blind also makes references to [[Orders Pronatus]] (dealing with the recovery of holy relics). These are very small Orders, with the only Order Pronatus mentioned being the [[Order of the Eternal Gate]]. Each Order follows the same basic hierarchical structure: * Order: Led by the head [[Canoness]] called the Canoness Superior and runs the Entire Order.* Preceptory: An organisation Organizational unit of individual convents with up to 1,000 Sisters, equivalent to an [[Adeptus Astartes]] Chapter, led by a Canoness Preceptor.* Commandery: Normally smaller convents or detachments of militant Sisters with up to 200 Sisters, led by a Canoness Commander.* Mission: The smallest organisation of Sisters, consisting of a few units and can be led by a Canoness or the lesser [[Palatine (Adepta Sororitas)|Palatine]]. ==List of Orders=====[[Orders Militant]]===*[[The Order of the Argent Shroud]]*[[Order of the Ashen Shrine]]{{Fn|4b}}*[[Order of the Black Sepulchre]]*[[Order of the Bleeding Heart]]*[[Order of the Blessed Martyr]]*[[Order of the Bloody Rose]]*[[Order of the Blue Robe]]*[[Order of the Broken Sword]]{{Fn|2}}*- Organization on ancient [[Order of the Crimson OathCaliban]]*[[Order of the Crimson Shroud]]*[[Order of the Divine Lamentation]]*[[Order of the Ebon Chalice]]*[[Order of the Ermine Mantle]]*[[Order of the Fiery Tear]]*[[Order of the Glowing Chalice]]*[[Order of the Golden Light]]*[[Order of the Grey Spear]]{{Fn|7}}*[[Order of the Iron Veil]]{{Fn|4b}}*[[Order of Lamentations]]*[[Order of the Last Prioress]]*[[Order of the Martyr's Shroud]]*[[Order of Our Martyred Lady]]*[[Order of the Maurdlin Countenance]]*[[Order of the Sacred Rose]]*[[Order of the Sanctified Shield]]*[[Order of the Shattered Glass]]{{Fn|3}}*[[Order of the Shining Blade]]{{Fn|6}}*[[Order of the Silver Lilly]]*[[Order of the Silver Shroud]]*[[Order of the Silver Veil]]*[[Order of the Sombre Vow]]*[[Order of the Sublime Adoration]]*[[Order of the Thorn]]{{Fn|4b}}*[[Order of the Valorous Heart]]*[[Order of the Vermilion Hand]]*[[Order of the White Rose]]*[[Order of the Wounded Heart]] ===[[Orders Dialogus]]===*[[Order of the Fractured CipherFirst Legion]]*- [[Order of the Holy WordDark Angels]]*[[Order of organization during the Lexicon]]*[[Order of the QuillGreat Crusade]]*[[Order of the Sacred Oath]]*[[Order of the Resounding Vow]]*[[Order of the Illuminated Page]] ===[[Orders Famulous]]===*[[Order of the Gate]]*[[Order of the Holy Seal]]*[[Order of the Key]]*[[Order of the Sacred Coin]]*[[Order of the Shining Path]] ===[[Orders Hospitaller]]===*[[Order of the Cleansing Water]]*[[Order of the Eternal Candle]]*[[Order of Serenity]]*[[Order of the Torch]]*[[Order of the Silent Vow]]{{Fn|4a}} ===[[Orders Pronatus]]===*and [[Order of the August Vigil]]*[[Order of the Blessed Enquiry]] ===[[Orders Sabine]]=== ===[[Order Fenestrus]]{{Fn|4c}}=== ===[[Orders Madriga]]{{Fn|5}}=== ===[[Orders Planxilium]]{{Fn|5}}=== ===[[Orders Vespila]]{{Fn|5}}=== ===Unknown Obedience===*[[Order of the Piercing Thorn]]: Expunged by order of their [[Canoness]]. ==Sources==*{{Endn|1}}: [[Warhammer 40,000 6th Edition Rulebook]], pg. 195*{{Endn|2}}: [[Apocalypse (Novel)]], Chapter 2*{{Endn|3}}: [https://www.warhammer-community.com/2020/01/08/shades-of-faithgw-homepage-post-2/ Warhammer Community: Shades of Faith (Posted on 08/01/2020)] ''(Last accessed on 9th January 2020)''*4: [[Codex: Adepta Sororitas (8th Edition)]]**{{Endn|4a}}: pg. 20**{{Endn|4b}}: pgs. 30-31**{{Endn|4c}}: pg. 33*{{Endn|5}}: [[Dark Horus Heresy: Blood of Martyrs]], pg. 78*{{Endn|6}}: [[Dark Heresy Second Edition: Enemies Beyond]], pg. 90 - Chapter 3*{{Endn|7}}: [[White Dwarf February 2020]], pg. 58 [[Category:Adepta Sororitas Orders]]
