The '''Remembrancer Order''' was a group of poets, journalists, imagists and writers that were sent to accompany the [[Imperial]] forces during the later years of the [[Great Crusade]], once the [[Emperor]] had returned to [[Terra]].{{Fn|1}} Remembrancers continue to serve in the [[Era Indomitus]].{{Fn|13}}
The term Remembrancer also appears to refer to any '''historian''' in general, even those who predate the existence of the Remembrancer Order. Several historians of [[M2]] [[Terra]] have been described by the Imperium as remembrancers.{{fnFn|27}}{{fnFn|28}}
