Guardians of Dhāra

The Guardians of Dhāra are the 11th Legion of Space Marines created by the Emperor near the end of the Unification Wars. Once known as the Mountain Breakers, they are famed for their stoic resolve and mystical practices. During the early days of The Great Crusade, they were a premier siege force. They excelled in tearing down fortifications thus earning their name of Mountain Breakers. Upon finding their Primarch, Shara Achyuta, the Legion underwent a reform. They were taught the ways of their gene-sires homeworld of Taragam. They became a Legion of warrior mystics and utilised the environment as a weapon during campaigns.

Legion Geneseed
The Geneseed of the Guardians of Dhāra is generally stable without any mutation. However a certain flaw can manifest in 1 in 1,000 astartes. This affliction is known as the Entrancement and its influence can be both beneficial and a hindrance in battle. If a battle brother is afflicted he may go into a state of absolute focus. Whilst in this state he cannot see or hear anything other than his targets meaning he cannot be ordered to stop. The Entranced are a force to be reckoned with but once they are in that state it could be many days or even weeks until they return to normal. The common practice in the Legion is to restrain those who are Entranced deep within the Austere Paradise until they return. Those who never return become a Mucyata, a free spirit. The name however holds a cruel irony as the Mucyata are interred into dreadnoughts where their single minded determination is put to devastating effect.
