Changes: House Gotrith

Revision as of 19:46, 25 November 2020

House Gotrith is a Renegade Imperial Knight house that repudiated its oaths to the Emperor of Mankind and followed the Warmaster Horus into the service of the Ruinous Powers during the Horus Heresy.

House History

House Gotrith was discovered by the Imperium upon the blasted world of Dallanar Beta fighting back Ork hordes since the Age of Strife. The Imperials were able to finally defeat the xenos and with the aid of the Belt of Iron the house was rebuilt.

However its scions grew jealous of the attention the Emperor received as the savior of their world. Seeking glory they scattered amongst many Great Crusade expeditionary fleets where they gathered an ominous and brutal reputation, slaughtering any who dared defy them or even associate with one who did.

However here they found themselves little more than guards of worlds conquered by those deemed more palatable than the Gotrith. Unwilling to accept this fate, the Knights of Gotrith returned to their homeworld as news of the Horus Heresy broke. The scions of House Gotrith quickly turned to the service of the Warmaster Horus hoping to find both greater glory and more appreciation than among the servants of the long-resented Emperor.

The Knights of Gotrioth proceeded to wipe out much of their world's population after their return in a baptism of blood that marked their entry into the service of Chaos.

Notable Campaigns

Battle of Beta-Garmon, "The Titandeath" (006-013.M31) - House Gotrith took part in the long and savage Beta-Garmon campaign, which included hundreds of war zones across dozens of worlds. During this conflict, House Gotrith provided Knight support to the Legio Mortis. Even before the greater armies of the Warmaster Horus reached the star cluster, the battle lines had long since been drawn, and fighting had been going on for many Terran years. It was a cauldron of battle that would consume millions of lives before its end and see the demise of entire Titan Legions, earning this campaign the dire moniker of the "Titandeath." The Beta-Garmon Cluster, also known as the gateway to the Throneworld of Terra, was the last hurdle that the Warmaster Horus' forces had to overcome before they reached the Imperium's capital world. Heavily fortified by the Loyalists, Beta-Garmon would become one of the greatest and bloodiest battles of the Horus Heresy, as well as one of the longest-lasting.
