Titanolith
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
The Titanolith is a massive monument on Terra, capital of the Imperium. Built after the Horus Heresy, it is built around the perimeter of the Sanctum Imperialis. Consisting of twenty huge stone plinths each with a gargantuan statue, they represent each of the twenty original Primarchs. These great pillars are hollowed from the inside, Within each hang the banners of all Space Marine chapters that have been destroyed in the service of the Emperor in the ten thousand years since the Heresy. [1]
The statues of the two Unknown Primarchs were made vacant at some point.[2] In the years since the Heresy, the statues of Traitor Primarchs have been removed as well.[1]
