The Convent Sanctorum was split to become the Order of the Fiery Heart, whose founder was Katherine, and the Order of the Valorous Heart, led by Lucia. In time, the Orders Militant grew into larger and more powerful organisations and Sebastian Thor's successor, the Ecclesiarch Alexis XXII, decreed that the two Convents each be divided into two Orders Militant. Those sisters still residing at San Leor were transported to the new convents, and the foundations of the non-militant orders were laid.


Both of these Convents are massive fortresses housing tens of thousands of Sisters. and so the " Decree Passive" was issued, forbidding the Ecclesiarchy from maintaining "men under arms." Alicia Dominica, at Thor's order, formally founded the Orders Militant of the Adepta Sororitas, which adhered to the letter if not the spirit of the decree in that all its warriors were female.įollowing Thor's Reformation of the Adeptus Ministorum, the newly founded Adepta Sororitas were split between the Convent Prioris on Holy Terra and the Convent Sanctorum on Ophelia VII. The High Lords of Terra were fearful of a repetition of the Reign of Blood. In the wake of the mad High Lord Vandire's downfall, Sebastian Thor was declared Ecclesiarch, and instituted sweeping reforms to the Ecclesiarchy.
