Diamedes Archive

The Diamedes Archive was constructed almost 4,000 years ago on Fremas within the heart of the top of a mountain, seemingly with no way in or out. Around five hundred years ago an earthquake opened one of the passages and the structure was quickly closed off by the Ordo Malleus. No one save the highest adept of Terra knew of the contents of the chamber until the Relictors came.[1]

The Relictors had discovered the existence of the Diamedes Archive from a bound entity within a daemon blade, forcing it to translate notes written by the servants of the daemon thousands of years ago. Six Space Marines had overcome the Imperial Guard deployed to defend the site, who had become lax in their security. A great artefact was found at the heart of the chamber and the Relictors placed it within a stasis chest for transport to their reliquarius to be studied by only the most pure Librarians of the chapter. Soon after this, their Ramilies Star Fort was attacked by the Grey Knights led by Inquisitor Cyarro and the majority of the chapter was destroyed. The contents of the Archive are presumed to have disappeared with the few surviving Relictors who escaped; however, another theory is that the Inquisitor was tainted by the object and carried it with himself.[1]
