The Cathedral of Dorn (also known as the Chapel of Dorn) was a cathedral located at the heart of the Battle Barge Glory, flagship of the Soul Drinkers Chapter. Dedicated to the Primarch Rogal Dorn, one of the primary uses of the chamber was as an arena for fighting honour-duels.[1a]

The centre of the Cathedral hosted a massive stained glass window depicting Rogal Dorn himself, which was shattered during an honour-duel between the rogue Librarian Sarpedon and Chapter Master Gorgoleon.[1a]

When Sarpedon seized control of the Soul Drinkers and rebelled against the Imperium, the Chapter created a new base of operations aboard the Space Hulk Brokenback. The remaining vessels of the Chapter's fleet, including the Glory, were scuttled at this point to make it harder for Imperial forces to track the Soul Drinkers[1b]; however, a new Cathedral of Dorn was constructed on the Brokenback.[1c]
