→History
The Order also existed during the time of the Great Father Vidya as after his defeat of the [[Harlequin]] [[Lavena the Joyful]], he entrusted that Eldars psychic weapon known as [[Vaironacum]] to the Secret Order of Psykana. Since that time, the group has remained as its guardians for many centuries. Since those days, the Librarians of the Order had stood countless times in the Sanctorium Arcanum as overseers of the rite. They also often sought out settlements that belonged to the mysterious [[Eldar]] known as the [[Harlequin]]s as they were rumoured to possess knowledge of rifts in the space-time continuum. Such a knowledge of the [[Warp]] is believed to be possible of recovering the Fated Fifth Company. [[Gabriel Angelos]] had once authorised the use of a strikeforce of Psykana Librarians in a raid against an immobilised [[Dark Eldar]] cruiser on the edges of the Circuitrine nebula which had been commanded by a young [[Jonas Urelie]].<sup>1</sup>
At some point in the past, the planet of [[Etiamnun III]] was bequethed to the [[Imperium]] by the Eldar of [[Craftworld]] [[AltanzarAltansar]] before it was lost in the [[Eye of Terror]]. Etiamnun III was a small distant world that is located on the edge of the [[Eastern Fringe]] and was known to had been a barren as well as inhospitable planet. It was home to a small population consisting of reclusiams and for a number of decades fell under the protection of the Order Psykana; a closely guarded secret from everyone including their own Chapter which was one of the ways that protected the world from attack.<sup>1</sup>
During the Sacking of the Etiamnun Reclusiam, the Order was summoned to protect the world from the attack of a [[Chaos]] [[Sorceror]] who belonged to the [[Thousand Sons]] Marines who managed to conquer it easily. By the time they arrived, the sorceror had gone and it was discovered that he along with his compatriots had disappeared into a secret [[Webway]] portal hidden underneath the ruins of the planet. However, in his haste, he had dropped a copy of The [[The Tome of KarbennianKarebennian]] - a fabled text that is rumoured to had contained the means of navigating the Webway and finding the Eldars [[Black Library of Chaos|Black Library]]. After the recovery of the text, the Order destroyed it as the quest for alien knowledge was forbidden as present within the Edict of Nikaea. This story is not shared to many outside the Order Psykana.<sup>1</sup>
