For words are the tools of the heretic, excepting those uttered in vehemence and in the utmost faith. With deed and honor, the faithful speak the plainest of truths." - An excerpt from the Crusader Scrolls of the Black Templars, sealed within the archives of The Eternal Crusader

The respect Abbadon has for him is a pretty cool note in the story. The siege of Terra has really brought the Imperial Fists into focus as one of my favorite chapters.

[@juliancarreon5569]

One of the main reasons i like the imperial fists is because their successor chapter, the Black Templars are my favorite

[@calob3927]

The fact that he made Abaddon feel genuinely ashamed, and yet still alive due to shithousery, is unreal. The closest thing to fear I’ve ever heard from a narration of this conversation post fight. Abaddon is genuinely in complete disbelief, ashamed, enraged, everything all at once. A 1000 year old and aged Sigismund done this. Imagine a prime sig, Abaddon would not have been able to tell that tale 💀

Sigismund is one of the characters with the best ending: he crusaded for centuries after the Scouring and almost nailed Abby, despite the Eye and Chaos granting the latter an edge against the old Templar.

[@nullakjg767]

He was projecting his own fathers demands on sigismund. The emperor made his decree about pskyers being dangerous. Dorn is steadfast and embraces this. He cannot understand how sigismund could fall for the pskyer bullshit. Sigismund is his best and brightest, and even the best and brightest can fall for psyker tricks? The implicaiton is too much for dorn to handle. If Dorns best can be led astray, who else could be brought down low? At this point dorn cant even concieve that of the true treason occuring during the HH. Its unthinkable and he cant handle it, he lashes out at sigismund. Forcing him to try and cover up his failure because if the best space marine can fall, anyone of them can. And its even worse than that, because between magnus, horus, fulgrim etc, they are all falling to chaos through warp manipulations. Warhammer is a tragedy above all.

And sigismund is someone who heard a "truth" that made him derelict in his duties and go against his fathers wishes. Its too much for Dorn to handle.

[@dillinsutherland2301]

@@TheAmberKing Only a pleasure brother . not many people are talking about the chapters of the cursed founding, my favorite are Space Sharks, *Lamenters*(these guy are just built different) and Raven Guards (will probably be declared heretics by the inquisition purely because of their huge stash of ancient artifacts) these are the only chapters I world say needs to be looked at purely because of how unique they are. Space Shark with a unstable gene-seed that slowly turns them in Shark Marines yet they are still loyal to the imperium of man(and Tyberos Danm he thiccc). Lamenters being the unluckiest chapter in the history of the imperium and in my opinion the best redemption seeing as they sided with the Astral Claw who were corrupted by chaos taint, yet came back into the the imperium after finding out that the Astral Claws were corrupted, lost two homeworlds, surviving trynids, and having a bad ass old dreadnought that thinks he is the last lamenter. And then the Raven Guard, what else is there to say about them, badass, slightly heretical, super loyalist, and also suffering from the black rage and the red thirst like the Blood Angels

So his "son" Sigismund could become the weapon he needed, that the Emperor needed...And so, Dorn Lied. With that lie more and more of Dorn's Dream, Dorn's Certanty broke.
