Phantine Basilica
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
The Phantine Basilica was a church located in the city of Cirenholm on Phantine.[1b]
The original basilica was built when the ground level of Phantine was still habitable, before the air near the surface became so contaminated with pollution that the Phantine were forced to move their cities to higher ground above the clouds. Its foremost feature was a bell tower originally constructed around 071.M40.[Note 1] As the pollution levels started to rise, the Basilica (including the bell tower) was periodically moved upwards with the rest of the city.[1b]

Notes
- Note 1: The Guns of Tanith states that the bells were cast "seventeen centuries" before the events of the novel, which take place in 771.M41.[1a]
