Preface on Iron Fists Chapter Astartes
For internal use only
Chapter Name: Iron Fists
Founding Chapter: Iron Hands
Founded: Approx. 015.M37, 22nd founding.
Homeworld: Taralus (see addendums)
Current Chapter Master: Katon Cantabricus
Codex Adherence: Moderate divergence (see addendums)
Colours: Gunmetal, silver, black, gold.
Addendum: Homeworld
Taralus is located on the southern Antimar Fringe, Scarus Sector, Segmentum Obscurus, and served as the chapter homeworld between 015.M37 and 001.M39, at which point it was considered lost to a substantial traitor fleet seeking to shield the coreward flank of the Despoiler's Tenth Black Crusade.
The remaining third of the chapter is reported to have undergone an arduous pilgrimage to Terra, seeking sanctuary and reinforcement from the High Lords. The Iron Fists would be assigned to a barren holding-station within the moons of Jupiter while their fate was decided.
After much deliberation and several attempts to break the chapter up, the Iron Fists would be permitted to operate at limited strength on selected campaigns, providing they report all activities and maintain subservience to the Terran Castellan of the Imperial Fists, who was authorized to sanction the chapter should they be found wanting in their duties.
In the waning days of M41, the Iron Fists would be granted approval to launch a crusade to reclaim their homeworld, with the provision that they use the resources of Taralus to reinforce the increasingly-embattled Cadian sector. By all accounts, the reclamation was a briefly-enjoyed success, as the rapid destabilization of the cadian gate and the formation of the Cicatrix Maledictum would subject the world to many horrors, and true liberation would only come at the hands of the Indomitus Crusade.
Addendum: Codex Adherence
Having been bound to operate at limited strength for the best part of two millennia, the Iron Fists' structure as a chapter has diverged somewhat from its previous, codex-adherent structure. Notable divergence includes:
Company Structure: Instead of retaining the balanced approach laid down by the Codex Astartes, the makeup of the chapter's key battle companies indicates a level of specialization within each company. The Second company possesses twice as many assault squads as a standard codex company, while the Fourth company operates almost exclusively on bikes and other fast platforms. The Third and Fifth company follow more conventional structures, but with integrated pools of armoured vehicles and aircraft respectively.
The Unbound: Once at the end of the roster, the Sixth company functioned as the Chapter's scout company. Exploiting a loophole in the terms of their confinement, the sixth company concealed multiple squads of power-armoured neophytes, termed as 'Unbound', to serve as a reserve pool that other companies could draw on. Such an action, while dubiously legal, provided much-needed capacity in the depleted chapter and paved the way for the reinstatement of first, the seventh and eighth, then the ninth and tenth companies following the liberation of Taralus. The Sixth company was elevated from scout company to battleline company in the wake of these actions, but still retains a specialism for infiltrators.
The Savants: The chapter's adherence to the teachings of Ferrus Manus, in combination with limited chapter resources and high numbers of battle-brothers wounded in action, served to create a unique position within the chapter. As the distinction between mechanical and organic assets becomes increasingly blurred, the black-armoured Savants of the Iron Fists are part-techmarine, part-apothecary, charged with looking after both aspects of the chapter's wellbeing. Each company has a dedicated Savant embedded within its command structure, who oversees a number of Savant-Initiates that are tasked with vehicle operation, medicae duties and maintenance efforts,
The Arcan Temple: The chapter is known to harbour a number of 'Temples', largely closed-door congregations that normally serve a role as keepers and educators in specific schools of war, but have also been known to include sergeants' councils and even a captains' council. The Arcan Temple is chief amongst all, as it functions as both a chapter-wide honour guard, and a monument to the chapter's spirit of vengeance. Warriors of the Arcan Temple shed their individuality on induction and are never seen helmetless or outside of their armour, although what occurs between the gold and iron-clad doors to the Arcan Temple is unknown. Unlike the rest of the chapter, Arcan maniples do not bear hereditary names or those of the squad’s sergeant, but are simply numbered. Company colours are shed in exchanged for a halved scheme, The badge of the Arcan Temple is a pair of black axes crossed on a golden yellow shield, and the warriors within have sworn to not rest until their homeworld is recaptured. Or at least, they did, until their homeworld was promptly recaptured.

This is their dynamic in s2.
#arcane#jinx arcane#caitlyn kiramman#plz accept my ugly meme#caitjinx#it's a ship that's incredibly interesting bcuz it will never happen#i also really like how unsubtle the poster is#caitlyn is the one whose image is trapped and fractured under the string of her grand conspiracy#she's trapped under obsession with finding jinx#with capturing jinx#all the while jinx maybe be pinned but she's more free than caitlyn is here#the most devastating thing jinx cud do to caitlyn is tell her that she hasn't been thinking about her since the rocket#or the temple fight#just to drive her up the wall

my fav headcanon for this dumbass ship is that Dooku and Sifo-Dyas both secretly think they have Scary Dog Privilege about the other one
#in truth nobody in the Temple can stand either of them#tweedle dee and tweedle dum here#dooku#sifo dyas#syku#2m tall lightsaber maniac#arcane seer of the Force raised by a High Republic era witch mom#not a scrap of chill to be found between them

Alright, I'm playing catch up! Jinx and the temple of Janna.
I finally had time to sort all the thoughts I had seeing the trailer and especially the part in the ‘temple’.
(Disclaimer: I studied art history/contemporary art and stylists. I have a mind that likes to look for meaning and symbols. As a result, I may dig too deep.)
First thing, this is a ruined temple, a once holy place, a house of a god. And it is Jinx's paintings covering the wall, specifically her life and the events that made her.
It's her life story that made her something else, something more, perhaps even something to believe in. In a way, you could place her as the ‘daughter of Janna’ in this location. (The children of gods are often raised by mortals.)
There's already some talk of her being seen as some sort of spirit or symbol of Zaun, so we see the creation of jinx (but not necessarily the death of Powder) the creation of an idol. Another thing that adds weight: She's already been resurrected once.
There's also the death of the mentor/father figure. Something that often must happen to open and find the child's own path - not the way but of the one who held your hand, but your own way.
It is a lovely, tranquil, creepy setup that heralds her as a beacon, a symbol, a rebel - the (vengeful)spirit of Zaun.
I hope part of her mission becomes - all your attention on me - so you miss those moving to build, to live to thrive away from you who hold us down.
A different take or a simultaneous take is that this is a shrine and an acknowledgement of what she has been through, her memories. Even Powder gets shown here. She's not hidden or muffled away for a change.
And it's an interesting parallel with Ekko, who has the mural to remember. It's a place of remembrance, and I imagine catharsis and succour.
Is this her finding a place to safeguard and process her memories?
Maybe it will be a way to connect. It was and is a language they both know (art), I think that was part of the reason they understood each other so well as children.
Ekko is not present in the images, which are mostly Silco, Vi and Vander. But in this being a reflection of an act he's done, I'd say it may well be a setup for the next chapter.
It’s interesting that, now left to her own devices, she seems to have given her past a literal place. A place that is one both of becoming and ruin.
Anyway, in short, she's on her ‘own’ no one for her to follow or shape her and possibly let go of the weight of her memories - What choices will she make? And what freedom has she gained or lost?

Drums_of_war.mp3
"Just bros hanging out."
#arcane#league of legends#S2 episode 3#janna must be so mad - not that they fought in her temple but because of the Grey#using it like that is going directly against the prayers that created her

The figure at the center isn't Jinx. The figure isn't wearing the right shirt, she's missing Jinx's cloud smoke tattoos, and you can see her dark hair under the blue hair reach her back as it falls in front of her arm and behind her shoulder.
While the braids are black and white to imply that is the figure's actual hair, it's sprayed on blue like the rest of the youths in the background, because she is like them. The figure at the center is just another kid in the crowd, and they've essentially been designed like they're wearing a Jinx wig, all the kids are.
The artist for this mural is showing that anyone can be like Jinx as long as you want to fight for Zaun. Jinx represents an ideology that these kids choose to embody in both style and action. They're united in blue in their rebellion.
#arcane#jinx arcane#arcane meta#the figuee at the center isn't jinx on purpose#bcuz you don't have to be jinx to be like jinx to fight like jinx#it's a choice#the inx propaganda is real#i think it's more effective that no one is jinx in the mural#they're all just trying to be like her#as if jinx is an ideal or a state of mind#there's also an interesting use of the swirls im this piece bcuz they don't match Jinx’s tattoo design but they do match#the pattern in Janna's temple#which is another point to how Jinx's imagery is further conflated (and inverts) symbols associated with zaunite divinity
