Definition
Salamanders successor Chapter of the Second Founding (M31), founded by Tho'mar Vesh, who left the Chapter the orally transmitted Kessler Protocol. Home world Varanthos — a forest world whose tribes the Chapter regards not as subjects but as part of itself ("The tribes are the Chapter", Kessler Protocol). Some eight hundred warriors. The Promethean Creed is read differently here than in the parent Chapters of the Salamanders line: Chapter rites take place literally in fire, which the Chaplains of other Chapters would hold to be heresy. The present Chapter Master, whose title of office is the Living Flame: Auren Drak-Soln. The cycle's antagonist is the Seven Heads, represented by Harrowmaster "Seven-Steps" (Veth-Kha); Captain Lyeth Vor'an (III Company "the Deep Hunters") is the protagonist.
