Eldar Gemstones

Indistinguishable to the necked eye from the fare rarer and more valuable Eldar spirit stones, these inch long gemstones are still highly prized by ignorant human nobility. Each one still holds a slight psychic resonance from their eons laying on the Dread Pearl amidst its eternal warp storm. During the excape from the Dread Pearl, the Explorers departed with hundreds of these gems and although most were sold off, a few have been retained as assets and souvenirs of the mission.

Core Cogitator

This is the core cogitator from the Gaunt Triumph, a grand cruiser that was lost in the Koronus Expanse. It appears as a large (8m x 3m x 2m) adamantine and crystalline cube with hundreds of connection points across each surface. Who know what it's experienced and what information is stored within the data stacks imbedded within. Taped to it, deep in the Vault of Secrets, was a Note indicating the Faceless Lord’s extreme interest. It currently sits within the deepest vault on the Aurea Albion.

Lecticio Divinitatus

One of the original, and proscribed, writings professing the God-Emperor's divinity. It was written in a time when the Emperor walked among men, and was highly suppressed, with possession punishable by death. This book appears complete, and printed on a small hand cranked press. It's contained within a stasis field and its value is incalculable. For its own protection, and the prestige of House Drake, it has been removed from the Aurea Albion and placed safely {to be determined}.

Warp Map

Contained within a warn ivory tube, and drawn upon what appear to be sheets of an unknown form of parchment, these maps show a handful of warp routes throughout both the Koronus Expanse and the Calixis Sector that appear on no other maps known to Mordecai or his family. The only one of these to be tried of yet is the one leading away from Inequity, but that was as stable as indicated. These maps currently reside in the Aurea Albion’s navigator’s tower.

Harmony Meter

A peculiar device that heretically combines alien and imperial technologies, this ornate, beautiful and simple to use device came from the investigation of the Joyous Choir. It’s meter indicates the level of a subjects connection to the warp, and as such indirectly detects the presence and power level of a Psycher. This ‘secret’ one was kept by the explorers and stashed on the Aurea Albion, while the more numerous regular ones, which simply react to a human brain’s alpha and beta waves, are still used by the reformed cult.

Liber Daemonica

The Liber Daemonicum (aka Libra Daemonicus) is a sacred book that contains prayers, battle rituals, litanies, funeral rites, and Chaos lore which the Explorers recovered from the body of Inquisitor Adorjin. Page after page discusses tactics and how to fight the denizens of the Immaterium, as well as, listing the True Names of a great many Daemonic entities; information collected from the Librarium Daemonica, the repository of dangerous knowledge pieced together by the Ordo Malleus over the millennia. The book was given over to Inquisitor Staven Arcturos along with the Luminous Reproach.

Luminous Reproach

An ancient Colurn blade fabricated in 362.M36 and blessed by Saint-Ecclesiarch Sebastian Thor. Since then it has been in the hands of a string of powerful and well regarded Inquisitors who’s victories would fill libraries. It was last in the hands of Inquisitor Adorjin, who battled demons so frequently that a squad of Grey Knights was permanently assigned to her. She and the sword were lost aboard the Black Ship that formed the heart of the Space Hulk Twilight. The sword was recovered and given to Inquisitor Staven Arcturos along with the Liber Daemonica.

The Hand of Saint Drusus

The Relic of Damaris is a small (30cm x 20cm x 10cm) intricate strong box decorated with innumerable symbols of piety and imperial faith. There is a small line of buttons on the front of the box, the only known code for which causes small shutters around the box’s borders to open slightly, revealing an intense blue-white light. This light is used as the final part of the Ritual of Renewal, where the faithful of Damaris may witness its holy glow. The relic is currently orbiting Kalf, in the hands of Bishop-Colonel Soren Erasmus.
