| abstract | - House Vornherr was a Loyalist Imperial Knight House that had strong ties to the Imperium of Man. This Knightly housed hailed from the Feudal World of Luhnborg-IX, located in the Ultima Segmentum, and were known to be an honourable company of warriors with a record of distinction within the Great Crusade and had, by fortune of war, sworn to Roboute Guilliman, Primarch of the Ultramarines Legion, a binding oath. This was a promise which saw the majority of the House muster in the Veridia System for the auspicious Calth Conjunction. With the unveiling of the Word Bearers' betrayal, in what would become known as the Battle of Calth, most of these Knights in attendance were callously and cowardly cut down from orbit by a Word Bearers planetary assault squadron. Only a handful survived the initial bombardment and the fate of these bold Knight-scions was a testimony to their stoicism and devotion to duty in the face of impossible odds. By the time the Ultramarines regained control of the Calth Defence Grid and the tide of battle finally turned in their favour, House Vornherr was shattered and its survivors irrevocably changed. It was then that a new oath, even more potent than that made to Guilliman, would be sworn. It is not known if House Vornherr discharged their oath unto death or if they survived the calamitous events of the Horus Heresy and were reconstituted.
