Null Maiden – A sister that has taken the Vow of Tranquility. Novice-Sister – An aspirant, that has not taken the Vow of Tranquility. Orsköde – A machine readable version of ThoughtMark. This makes it a better choice for a command language on the field of battle. Less flexible than ThoughtMark, it is also less ambiguous and it’s larger gestures can be seen from farther away. BattleMark – A symbolic sign-language used in combat. ThoughtMark – A symbolic sign-language that uses small gestures and conveys complex ideas and subtlety. Full Sisters converse in their own sign-language, but there is at least one example of them being conversant in other forms of sign-communication, such as Astartes battle-signage.
