The Order of the Anvil is a monastic order within the Cult of Sigmar whose members live out their lives in isolation from the rest of society, dedicating themselves to meditation and prayer. The main functions of this order are to study and interpret the Word of Sigmar, which forms the basis of Imperial law and Sigmarite doctrine, and to regulate and maintain the cult's practices. Members may be found in law schools and the upper ranks provide legal advisors for the Grand Theogonist and the Emperor. Its members include not only priests, but also lawyers and friars. One should note the distinction between this order and the Cult of Verena. The Order of the Anvil is concerned with the letter of the law, leaving the Cult of Verena to worry about justice.[1a][2a]
