the '''Column of Glory''' is an [[Imperial Fists]]' relic on Holy [[Terra]]. The Column of Glory is noted to be close to the [[Emperor]]'s throne, but whether this means it is located within the [[Imperial Palace]] or simply nearby is uncertain. The relic itself is a half kilometer high column embedded with the [[power armor]] of Imperial Fists who lost their lives defending the Imperial Palace during the [[Horus Heresy]]. The Power Armor contains the bones of the dead [[Space Marines]].<sup>1</sup>
==Clarity issues==
The Column is described as "rainbow metal" but the meaning of this description is not clear. It is unlikely that it refers to the color of Column given that Imperial Fists armor is yellow ''unless'' other Space Marine Legions have their power armor included in the relic, which would make the Column multiple colors, but this is not stated. This description also may refer to the shape of the structure, in which case the Column of Glory would be an arch.<sup>1</sup><sup>2</sup>
