'''Alicia Dominica''', '''Patron Saint of the Sisterhood, Bearer of the [[Grail of Ages]], Founder of the [[Order of the Ebon Chalice]]'''{{Fn|2a}}, is renowned throughout the Imperium as both the founder and patron of the [[Adepta Sororitas]] and as the Sister who ended the [[Reign of Blood]] when she beheaded the [[High Lord]] [[Goge Vandire]].{{Fn|2b}}

==The Age of Apostasy==

During the [[Age of Apostasy]], Alicia Dominica was the leader of Goge Vandire's bodyguards, the [[Brides of the Emperor]]. At the height of the Reign of Blood a small contingent of [[Adeptus Custodes]] made their way into the heart of Vandire's domain, only to be confronted by Dominica and her fellow Brides. The Custodes [[Longinus]]{{Fn|6}} called for truce and parley; laying down his arms, he made impassioned pleas for the Brides to revoke their oaths to Vandire, arguing that they were serving evil rather than the [[Emperor]]. The Brides, however, were not swayed by his oratory; so leaving his men as hostages, the Centurion led Dominica and five of her companions ([[Katherine]],[[Silvana]], [[Lucia]], [[Mina]] and [[Arabella]]) through the tunnels below the [[Imperial Palace]] towards the most sacred place in the galaxy - The [[Golden Throne]], the resting place of the [[Emperor]] himself.{{Fn|1a}}{{Fn|1b}}{{Fn|2a}}
