Lexicanum Loremasters

The Lexicanum Loremasters' banner^[1]

The Lexicanum Loremasters are an Imperial organisation, who have vaults filled with arcane and heretical knowledge they have collected.^[1]

Description

It has two known ranks within the organisation, known as Loremasters and Loremaster-Initiates. The Loremasters are the more knowledgeable and experienced of their members, who gather information and give lectures on subjects to the Loremaster-Initiates. These are procured from information gathered from the Loremasters' vaults or from being sent on expeditions to study subjects they later give lectures on.^[1] These have included the Impact of Planetary Environments on the Production of Corpse-starch, the effectiveness of rations left under extreme planetary conditions,^[2] the Aeldari's Harlequin faction, the repair subroutines of the Adeptus Mechanicus,^[1] the origin of the Imperial Knights,^[2] the secret Orders of the Dark Angels' Hexagrammaton Wings^[3] and the relics of the Blood Angels' Primarch, Sanguinius, which were still possessed by the Chapter.^[4]

The Lexicanum Loremasters are still under the remit of the Inquisition, however, and the Holy Ordos have intervened in their work at times. This was either to forbid the Loremasters from sharing information, redacting what can be shared in lectures or even inviting the Loremasters to present the organisation's information to the Inquisition.^[1]
