Over time the Adepta Sororitas numbers grew to over 10,000 Sisters and Sebastian Thor's successor, Ecclesiarch Alexis XXII, divided the Convents' forces into two Orders each{{Fn|1e}} {{Fn|2b}} - the [[Order of the Ebon Chalice]] and the [[Order of the Argent Shroud]] on Terra and the [[Order of the Valorous Heart]] and [[Order of the Fiery Heart]] on Ophelia VII.{{Fn|1d}} Of these four groups, the Order of the Ebon Chalice was established as Dominica's own personal Order.{{Fn|3a}}
Dominica led her sisters for several centuries, overseeing the early years of the Adepta Sororitas and leading her Sisters on many crusades, before finally falling in battle at the [[Scourging of Frideswide's World]]. It was recorded that she survived literally hundreds of wounds before one [[lasgun]] blast finally found a weakness in her armor armour and pierced her heart{{Fn|3a}} in 650.[[M36]]{{Fn|4}}. At some point before her death, Dominica was declared a [[Living Saint]].{{Fn|2b}}
The symbol of Dominica's Order is the skull-filled and flaming Ebon Chalice that represents the terrible knowledge imparted to Dominica when she was brought before the Golden Throne, though few know the significance of the symbol.{{Fn|3a}}
