Initial reports regarding the Blood Wolves Chapter's divergent practices warranted thorough investigation. Primary concerns centered on their blood-sharing rituals and unusual approach to Emperor-veneration.
Most troubling was the Chapter's insistence on referring to the "Man-Emperor" rather than acknowledging His divine nature. When questioned, Arc Chaplain Wolfmaster's response was measured but firm:
"We honor Him through deed, not merely word. His blood flows in our veins, His genetic legacy lives in our flesh. We do not worship Him as a distant god, but serve Him as sons serve their father - through absolute loyalty and unwavering dedication to His work."
When questioned about their blood-sharing ceremonies, the Arc Chaplain provided extensive documentation of Imperial sanctions and explained:
"Our blood is His gift to us. In sharing it, we strengthen the bonds between brothers and reinforce our resistance to corruption. Each ritual is performed under strict oversight, with proper prayers and sanctified implements. We do not seek power through blood - we acknowledge the power He already placed within it."
Their Chaplains' role differs significantly from standard Imperial doctrine. They serve not just as spiritual guides but as active hunters of corruption. Arc Chaplain Wolfmaster demonstrated their extensive screening protocols and execution procedures for potentially tainted battle-brothers.
While the Blood Wolves' interpretation of faith diverges from standard Imperial doctrine, their absolute loyalty to the Emperor and effectiveness in His service cannot be questioned. Their practices, while unusual, appear to strengthen rather than weaken their resistance to corruption.
While their practices initially raised grave concerns, I must acknowledge their effectiveness. Their faith, though expressed differently, burns no less bright than our own. Perhaps, in their unique approach to serving the Emperor, they have found a path that, while divergent, remains true.

Faith takes many forms, but loyalty knows only one truth.
