The '''Order of Our Martyred Lady''' is one of the six major [[Orders Militant]] of the [[Adepta Sororitas]].{{Fn|17a}}
==Overview==

The Order is based in the [[Convent Sanctorum]] on [[Ophelia VII]]{{Fn|1a}}. The order was originally called the '''Order of the Fiery Heart''' and was founded by order of the [[Ecclesiarch]] [[Alexis XXII]] when the Convent Sanctorum was split.{{Fn|1b}} Their first leader and Patron [[Saint]] was [[Canoness]] [[Katherine]], who led her order for many decades before being murdered by the Witch-cult of Mnestteus. So moved by her death were her Sisters that they changed the orders name to the Order of Our Martyred Lady in her honour.{{Fn|2a}} The Order wore the black of mourning for their lost lady for many centuries afterward{{Fn|6}}, a style consisting of black armor and black cloaks with red lining, with red used for weaponry and white used for unit insignia and piping around the cloaks.{{Fn|1c}} After the Order's losses on [[Armageddon]], the majority of the Preceptories changed the cloth color to all red, with the first line of the [[Fede Imperialis]] stitched between parallel lines of silver along the bottom edge to remind them of the martyring of their Sisters on Armageddon.{{Fn|2b}}
[[Miriael Sabathiel]] was a [[Sister Superior]] of the Order and is the only sister acknowledged to have willingly fallen to [[Chaos]]. A Canoness of the Order, [[Olga Karamanz]], was murdered by Miriael when she tried to apprehend her, even as the Canoness proclaimed a desire to help Miriael.{{Fn|5}}
===Third War for Armageddon===

The forces of the Order have been seen heavily in the [[Armageddon]] sector, during the [[Third Armageddon War]]. They protect lone worlds from attack and strongly regulate the lives of those under their jurisdiction, and that of the [[Ecclesiarchy]]. Their power comes from the great [[Sanctorum of St. Katherine]] which is built within the high walls of [[Hive Tempestora]] which is also a centre for Ecclesiarchal activities on Armageddon. Their positions were assaulted by [[Ork]]s emerging from vast submersibles emerging from the Boiling Sea. The Sisters were the front-line defence of Hive Tempestora but due to the sheer surprise and ferocity of the Ork attack, many units were caught unaware and floundered. This allowed the Orks to take control of the majority of the underhive within a few hours of landing{{Fn|15}}.
