Standard of Fortitude
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
Standard of Fortitude[2]
The Standard of Fortitude is one of the three Sacred Standards of the Dark Angels.[2] It is emblazoned with the icons of the Dark Angels Chapter and stained with the blood of heroes. In combat, any Battle-Brother who can see the Standard of Fortitude becomes fearless, boosts their endurance and do not suffer from fatigue.[1]
It is tradition that only one of the three banners is carried into battle at any given time, whilst the other two are kept in the Great Hall in the Rock;[2] although it is recorded that all three standards were flown during the Second Mortis Gate Campaign.[3]
