Purgatomb
The Purgatomb is a secret prison-craft used by the Exorcists Chapter, to house their Daemonically Possessed failed Aspirants, known as the Broken Ones.[1]
Each of the Broken Ones, serve as vessels of imprisonment for several Daemons, who were used in the Exorcists' Possession trials. Though they failed these trials themselves, the Broken Ones still serve the Chapter, by ensuring the Daemons within are unable to share any of the Exorcists' secrets. It was declared to be to dangerous to house them on Banish and so, the Purgatomb became their home. Within the pitch-black bowels of this immense drifting bastion, the Broken Ones are left to writhe and scream, within the hyper-dense walls of their warded cells. The Purgatomb has served its grim role for some five millennia and, though its location has rarely become known to those outside of the Chapter, its cargo has never been discovered. This is just as well, for if even a single Broken One were to escape, the consequences for the Exorcists, and perhaps the Imperium itself, would be catastrophic.[1]
