brother varen Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 I have been wondering about the Caliban knightly orders and was wondering if you had any knowledge on them. So far i have found these: 1) Knights of the Order 2) Knights of Blood - <destroyed> found in DOA pg 47 3) Knights of the Crimson Chalice - <destroyed> found in DOA pg 13 4) Knights of Lupus - <destroyed> found in DOA pg 102 5) Knights of the Ravenwing - DOA pg 63 Is there any other knightly orders anywhere else in canon fluff? If so state name and source. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/237772-dark-angel-knightly-orders/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigger-than-Jesus Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 5) Knights of the Ravenwing - DOA pg 63 They're actually a unit in the order, not a separate order. No doubt an attempt to link the order to 40k DA Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/237772-dark-angel-knightly-orders/#findComment-2869111 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Semper Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 5) Knights of the Ravenwing - DOA pg 63 They're actually a unit in the order, not a separate order. No doubt an attempt to link the order to 40k DA That. The RW was a scoutiung formation of the Order (on black horses if i recall) and an attempt to give some continuity to the DA mythos. A bit crude for my taste but there you have it! However there was a furhter mention of that in the "Call of the Lion" short story where Astelan is asking his fellow Chapter Commander Belath (who was from Caliban) of the symbol he displays on his right shoulder plate (a taloned foot holding a sword) and he answers: "It is the symbol of my order [...] The Order of the Raven's Wing". One of Astelan's Captain's explains to a perplexed Astelan: "One of the Calibanite Knightly Orders". The above leads me to the following conclusion: Following the phasing out of the order system of Caliban and the taking over by the Legion, the Raven Wing was risen to having an order status within the Legion -a tradition if you like- although no details exist as to whether there was a scouting formation of the same name within the Legion. I assume not, my view is that the Raven Wing as we know it today is a post-Heresy formation both in equipmant and mission. Astelan's Captain was just misinformed on Calibanite Orders (or lack thereof).
