*Personal log: Venault; Chief Librarian*
--Date marked: Current; M41--
My Lord today made a disturbing discovery amongst our most holy of records. I am ashamed to admit, and have sworn a penance for my carelessness, that I have as Chief Librarian of our proud chapter that I have lost our initial history. Avenaume believes they are simply 10 entries in the same book he reads from. I have yet to tell him that they are actually 9 holy documents of our founding and that the 10th entry is a log of our first combat action, I read it once, years ago but cannot for the life of me remember what it was about.
I have checked with Hyran, and even he, the most venerable amongst us only remembers that the conflict was with black-souled traitors. I have sent contacts to my friends and contemporaries in those chapters we are close to from our founding to see if they have any ideas about what occurred. I think that if we discover what that combat was about we may have more clues as to why these holy relics have gone missing. I hope Wrenn of the Desolation Knights gets my message soon, if any are to have records of our earliest actions it would be memorialized in one of their great tomes.
The Master of Sanctity, Solun, believes that the arrival of the Purge in deep space may be associated with the lost relics. He also believes we have an internal issue to handle regarding the amount of trust we should be giving some of our captains. Most importantly 8th Co. Captain Guillame. I will discuss this more with him and the Chapter Master later, I must go meditate. The Warp has become clouded and my vision grows dimmer by the hour.
Emperor guide me

**Official Imperial Transcript**
Level: Classified, Inquisition mandate 971.2
Subject: Astartes Founding 19, M36
Name: Inquisitor Ghent
Status: Active; Adherent
Q: Inquisitor, please describe for the record what occurred last evening
A: The newly founded chapters, after receiving the blessings of the current High Lords of Terra, and the blessings of those Chapter Masters of the First Founding Chapters able to be present, boarded their fleets and made way to the warp, I assume heading for their new assignments.
Q: Why were you not aboard the Rigorous? You were aware of your instructions?
A: More pressing matters arose that required my attention, ones you need not concern yourself with. I am an Inquisitor of His Holy Inquisition, why do you feel you have the right to question me?
Q: What matter is of more importance than defending the Imperium against the spawn of the warp Inquisitor? Is that not part of your mission? No matter, I have not the time nor the patience to bandy insults. Why did the Custodes find you in that run down whore house?
A: A man is able to find pleasure where he chooses. I broke no law, if whoring were a tangible charge the entire Imperial Guard would be strung up.
Q: I care not for your opinions, you know what lies in those brothels. The whisper of certain beings become more powerful, and you notice them less. Why were you not aboard the Rigorous with the Lords of Aurora?
A: I am done with this. You have no right...wait....no...not them, please.................

--Planet Aurora--
-Tellus System-
*Imperial Transmit Code A129Y75: All Residents*
Attention Imperial Citizens:
The Emperor of Mankind, in His infinite Wisdom, has granted the 3rd Planet of this system to the 567th Chapter of the Adeptus Astartes. The arrival of the Chapter will herald a new and bright future for the sector and for the Imperium. The 567th, newly named the Lords of Aurora, will arrive in system with their fleet assets. Imperial Military personnel should integrate the Chapter into the system defense and cleansing strategies. Be aware that these Astartes have the charter and blessing of the High Lords of Terra and the God Emperor Himself. Failure to comply would be unwise.
-Astropath Vore-
--Sent from Rigorous, Battle Barge of the Lords of Aurora--
Indexed in Lords of Aurora Astartes files as the 11th entry in the Chapter Histories.
*Personal Log: Avenaume; Chapter Master*
--Date marked: current.M41--
I have, in the last two months felt the nagging presence of doubt around me, for reasons I have not been able to determine. I have been going through our Chapter's Histories and I am constantly drawn back to this single entry. It is the 11th, or so it says, but I have not, nor has Chief Librarian Venault, been able to find the first 10. This is an oddity I am angered to find. How our first 10 entries are missing I am determined to discover, however I have no ideas or leads with which to follow. Venault and my Master of Sanctity have been ordered to report immediately to me if they discover anything.
On another note, the warband known as The Purge have been sighted on the outskirts of our system, I am sending the Master of the Fleet and his 2nd company, in addition to the 8th to investigate and report back.
Emperor guide me.
