Witchseeker Cadre

The Horus Heresy

Flame-bearing Sisters who scour covens and warp-tainted enclaves with purging fire, cleansing the corruption a greatblade cannot reach.

The Witchseeker Cadre carried the cleansing fire of the Sisterhood, bearing flamers into the places sorcery had corrupted and burning the taint from the world. Where a coven gathered in the dark, where a shrine to the warp festered, where the witch hid among the innocent, the Witchseekers came with fire and a merciless certainty and left only ash. Flame was reckoned the surest purifier of the immaterial's touch, and the Sisters wielded it without hesitation. Their work demanded a particular hardness, for they often walked among populations already turning to the enemy, unable to know for certain who was tainted and who merely afraid; they trusted their blank instincts and their duty above all pleas. As whole worlds slid into worship of the Ruinous Powers during the Heresy, the Witchseeker Cadre burned through cult and coven alike, buying the loyal Imperium time with pyres that lit the night.
