Title: In fieldy to the god emperor
Post by: Gal'rgae Neverborne on March 28, 2018, 05:05:28 PM

I've been playing DOW2 and there is a animation that starts with "In fieldy to the god emperor". I know I've read that before in one of the Eisenhorn book, I think malleus. It's driving me nuts, does anyone know which chapter it's in?

Yeah, it's a thing that shows up in an Ordo Malleus Book. Also, what you're looking for is "fealty" -- the concept of the sworn duty a vassal or knight has to their feudal lord.

Codex: Daemon Hunters (3e), page 10, in the lower right corner:

Quote

Gregor Eisenhorn, in fealty to the God-Emperor, our undying lord, and by the grace of the Golden Throne, in the name of the Ordo Malleus and the Inquisition, I call thee diabolis, and in the testimony of thy crimes, I submit this carta. May imperial justice account in all balance. The Emperor protects.
