Litanies of the Imperium
The prayers that keep the Imperium standing. Some are war-chants screamed through helm-vox; some are silent vows spoken only to the Emperor. All of them are here, transcribed for the pilgrims of the Shrine.
Litany of Hate
Spoken before battle by the sons of Sigismund
The Litany of Hate is the war-chant of the Black Templars, sworn before every battle that no quarter shall be given the Emperor's enemies.
Black Templars“No pity. No remorse. No fear.”Litany of Faith
The prayer that turns bolter-fire aside
The Litany of Faith is chanted by the Adepta Sororitas in the moment of charge. Witnessed Acts of Faith follow when its words ring true.
Adepta Sororitas“The Emperor protects.”Oath of the Moment
The vow spoken before every battle by an Astartes
The Oath of the Moment is the universal pre-battle vow of the Adeptus Astartes. Each warrior swears a single, specific deed they will perform — or die.
Adeptus Astartes (all Chapters)Hymn of the Omnissiah
Binaric chant of the Adeptus Mechanicus
The Hymn of the Omnissiah is the daily devotion of the Adeptus Mechanicus, recited at the start of every shift in every forge across the Imperium.
Adeptus Mechanicus“Knowledge is power. Guard it well.”Litany of Fury
Prayer of the Death Company — sons who can no longer be saved
The Litany of Fury is the last prayer spoken by Blood Angels who succumb to the Black Rage. It guides them into one final, fatal battle.
Blood Angels (Death Company)The Imperial Creed
The first prayer every Imperial citizen learns to speak
The Imperial Creed is the foundation of the Imperial Cult — recited from cradle to grave on a million worlds. To deny it is heresy.
Adeptus Ministorum / All loyal citizensVigil of the Custodes
The silent oath of the Companions of the Throne
The Vigil of the Custodes is sworn by every Companion upon assuming his post within the Imperial Palace. It has never been broken.
Adeptus CustodesThe Wolftime Prayer
The skald-song of Fenris, sung over campfire and corpse alike
The Wolftime Prayer is sung by the Space Wolves in their oldest tongue — not a litany of obedience but a remembrance of the Allfather and his sons.
Space WolvesLitany of Suspicion
The discipline of the Inquisitor's gaze
The Litany of Suspicion is murmured by Inquisitors as a discipline — a daily reminder that no soul is above scrutiny, including their own.
