Imperium prayers and holy praises

By Twillera, in Dark Heresy

Posted at

So in a dark heresy campaign I am playing, I am running a guardsman who is very religious (her faith in the god emperor was the only thing that kept her sane during her time in the guard). I really want her to randomly spurt out religious text and saying, but im not hugely creative in terms of writing, so im not very good at coming up with this stuff on my own. Does anyone have any good imperium of man prayers or what not, or know of any good links to some? Iv found a few from the net, but those wont last me very long. Any help would be much appreciated.

Uplifting Primer, no matter what edition, offers several prayers.

Since i'm afb i can't quote them now.

Since I DO have the Uplifting Primer, here's a few:

Litany of Hope

To be whispered whenever you look out from the galactic edge:

Mighty Emperor and wielder of the Light,

Guide and protect this poor mortal

From the everlasting void beyond the stars.

Incantation of Purity

May my flesh, blood and bones stay pure,

May my holy aura repel the unclean,

And may I stay true to the Imperial Creed.

Catechism of Fury

To be shouted before entering battle:

My eyes burn with righteous fury,

And my limbs burn with righteous fury,

And my fists burn with righteous fury,

And all before me will wilt before the flames.

Prayer of Adulation to the Emperor

To be recited every morning:

O Immortal Emperor: Have mercy upon us, miserable unworthies that we are.

O Master of the Galaxy: Protect Your flock from the alien.

O Keeper of the Light: Guide our darkened path with Your radiance.

We are Your warriors and we are servants to Thee,

We stand free from blindness of heart,

Free from hypocrisy, vainglory and deceits,

But captive to hatred, malice, and anger,

To the filth, the alien, the heretic.

By Thy agony and bloody sweat;

by Thy Golden Throne and Thy Death,

By Thy Destruction and re-emergence as the God of Men,

Keep and strengthen us, we who fight for Thee.

The Fede Imperialis is quite a lengthy one - it's been used quite a bit in various sources and is supposedly the 'core prayer' of the ecclesiarchy.

This might help. The Lexicanum has all sorts of quotes that I've found to be quite helpful. I also have a copy of the Imperial Handbook lying around somewhere, and so if I ever manage to find it I'll type up a couple more of those quotes.
