The Dark Cells,[1] or Black Cells[2], are oubliettes deep beneath the Imperial Palace on Terra containing entities and artefacts of Old Night that could annihilate the Imperium if they were ever to break free. The newly emerged threats of the galaxy that must be imprisoned therein are also added to the Dark Cells. Guarded by a Shield Host of Adeptus Custodes known as the Shadowkeepers, their security includes rune locks, wards, and sanctic circles throughout corridors patrolled by a hundred Custodians at all times. Although neither light nor sound can escape the cells, the air of dread puts even Custodians on edge.[1]
When the Great Rift opened, some of the Dark Cells were discovered suddenly to be empty.[1]
Known Prisoners
- Slithering Dreamer - Escaped from its cell and was later killed by the Shadowkeeper Jaeharl Feldorus Ghau on Tarnus IV.[1]
