The Librarium Daemonica is a unique respository of knowledge on the warp and Chaos that is housed within the Grey Knights's Chapter Fortress-Monastery on Titan.1-p22 It is situated within the darkest corner of the Sanctum Sanctorum that is heavily guarded where its knowledge is held within the age-worn oaken cabinets that hold crumbling scrolls, gnarled tomes along with tarnished blackened datacrystals located within the twisting corridors.2-p10

This collection of information had been painstakingly put together by the Ordo Malleus across millennia where it became contained in this gloomy and forbidden place that held tens of thousands of tomes of arcane lore as well as diabolism.All these tomes are cracked with age and heavy with psychic evil that had been brought upon the universe. Essential tenets of warp lore contained within the Librarium are duplicated in the contents of the Liber Daemonicus that is worn by the Grey Knights which serves as one of their greatest weapons.1-p22

The threat of this dark knowledge is a serious matter as it can do great damage if it were to fall into the wrong hands which is why the Librarium's security is second only to the Emperor's Palace. There exists three sets of adamantium walls that serve as barricades that are several meters thick and are protected by sigilite enchantments that were scribed in languages which are long dead. These have been anointed and consecreated in oils along with being inscribed with silver seals of warding. Only three points of entry allow access to the chamber with the first portal being a cipher-locked blast door, the second a spatial displacement field and the third final one being a magickal vortex. A senior Librarian guards each portal with correct authorisation needed with failure to provide the correct codes bringing about any trespassers death.2-p10

Notes

On Page 15 of Ben Counter's Grey Knights (Novel), mention is made of an Inquisitorial hidden archive known as the Librarium Daemonicum yet this site is said to be located on Saturn's other moon of Tethys whereas the Librarium Daemonica is said to reside in the Grey Knights Fortress-Monastery.
