Sanctorium Arcanum
The Sanctorium Arcanum is a secret cavernous hemispherical chamber within the Blood Ravens Battle Barge Litany of Fury which contained a choir of priests, mystics and astropaths.[1]
These individuals encircle a central altar that is held by a single beam of silver light which pierces from the sky dome at the apex of the massive curving ceiling. Above the altar piece is the Beacon Psykana which is tended to by the Librarians of the Secret Order of Psykana. The chambers of the Sanctorium are considered unique but paled before the majesty of the Chamber of the Astronomican on Terra. One of the benefits the Blood Ravens possess is that the Sanctorium Arcanum is a deeply held secret which prevents enemies from assaulting it. The Sanctorium is heavily defended with it capable of withstanding assault from both conventional as well as psychic means. It is also a tradition for the remains of a lost Librarian of the Secret Order of Psykana to be placed at the altar of the Sanctorium Arcanum for a hundred days.[1]
A special psychically shielded room within these chambers also held the Psykana Armorium.[1]
