What happened there remains unknown - Dominica and her companions were sworn to secrecy - but it became clear that the Brides, who reverted to the title of Daughters of the Emperor, had been awakened to the evil that Vandire represented. In a last ditch effort to convince them, the Custodes took Alicia Dominica, leader of the Brides, and her chosen bodyguards deep into the Imperial Palace where they stood before the Emperor himself. Revelation and retributionĭuring the Siege of the Ecclesiarchal Palace, the Adeptus Custodes, the praetorians of the Emperor himself, tried to approach the Brides and convince them of Vandire's treachery. They were renamed the Brides of the Emperor, and became Vandire's most loyal followers. The Daughters took this to be a sign, and swore allegiance to Vandire virtually on the spot. However, thanks to the protective field generated by the Rosarius of the Ecclesiarch (which no one but Vandire himself was aware of), Vandire was not harmed. Vandire decided to show them that he was blessed by the Emperor - he instructed a soldier in his entourage to shoot him, which after a brief hesitation, he did. The Daughters at first refused to accept his authority. Goge Vandire, the High Lord of the Administratum (and also Ecclesiarch of the Adeptus Ministorum), decided to visit San Leor and recruit the Daughters into his own private army. An order known as the ' Daughters of the Emperor', an all-female cult dedicated to worship of the Emperor, had been discovered on San Leor by members of the Ecclesiarchy. The Adepta Sororitas trace their origins to the world of San Leor.

The Adepta Sororitas date their founding from the 36th Millennium, and more specifically from the later events of the Age of Apostasy.

However the Ministorum were able to circumvent this decree by using the all-female force of the Sisterhood. This was supposed to limit the power of the Ecclesiarchy. The Sisterhood serves as the Ministorum's only official military forces because the Decree Passive rules that the Ecclesiarchy cannot maintain any 'men under arms'.
