That history survives in the Knight Chapters, dozens of semi-independent orders scattered across Europe, each sworn to the Inquisition yet fiercely protective of their own legacy and territorial authority. Among them, none loom larger than the Dawn Lions and the Dusk Wolves, two rival Chapters whose antagon
