The Knights of the Fiery Heart are a lesser knightly order in service to the Cult of Sigmar, serving as the personal bodyguard of the Grand Theogonist.[2a][2b] They often vie with Knights Griffon for political power within the High Temple of Sigmar.[2c]

Overview[]

The Order of the Fiery Heart has a long and glorious history, dating back to 1360 when Grand Duchess Ottilia outlawed the cult of Sigmar in Talabecland and set the Age of Wars in motion. Devoted to Sigmar, the Order of the Fiery Heart have a well-earned reputation as protectors of the Sigmarite faithful, and have been known to serve as guards for temples and priests of Sigmar throughout their history. The knights are well known for the fanatical zeal with which they pursue their crusade against orcs and goblins. They are experts at fighting greenskins, their battle skills honed from centuries of battling such enemies. However, the order is also a force to be reckoned with against any foe.[1a]

Certain rumours surround the order. The inner circle of the Knights of the Fiery Heart are said to consult a prophetic work named the Unfinished Book, a text that most Sigmarite priests regard as apocryphal. The order is also said to obsess over the loss of a particular magical artefact, a sword named Karaghul. In decades past, certain members of the order reported visions of Sigmar telling them to retrieve the blade from beneath the ruined Dwarf Hold of Karak Eight Peaks. Every few years a member of the order quests to find the blade, but none have returned.[1a] Karaghul was eventually obtained by adventurers Gotrek and Felix from the ruins of Karak Eight Peaks and has been wielded by Felix since.

The Order of the Fiery Heart colours are white with gleaming plate armour, and their heraldry commonly depicts the Imperial cross within a burning red heart.[1a]
