The '''Secret Order of Psykana''', also known as the '''Order Psykana''' and as the '''Ordo Psykana''', is an elite body within the [[Blood Ravens]] [[Chapter]] and consists entirely of [[Psyker]]s.

The Order Psykana is vital in the ceremony known as the '''Summoning of the Exodus''' which involves a telepathic choir using the [[Beacon Psykana]]. As such, they are charged with the custody of the [[Sanctorium Arcanum]] onboard the [[Litany of Fury]], a secret chamber whose existence is known only to the initiates of the Order and a select few. In addition, they possess an armoury known as the [[Psykana Armourium]] where a host of Force weapons are placed. When new Librarians are chosen, they are allowed to choose one of these relics that have become a part of the Beacon Psykana itself thus giving them a permanent connection to it. Through this, they are capable of drawing upon it in times of need and likewise, the Beacon itself draws upon the psychic pulse of the Blood Ravens allowing them to conduct their Summoning of the Exodus.¹

It was not unprecedented for entire companies of Blood Ravens to be formed that consisted of [[Librarian]]s who were under the semi-autonomous command of a Father Librarian. In fact, this is the usual manner through which the Order deploys itself in its own unique way on the battlefield. The complicated nature of its arrangement with the [[Ecclesiarchy]], the [[Scholastia Psykana]] and even to the great halls of [[Terra]] itself meant that the Order Psykana resembled an entrenched organisation itself with its own internal hierarchy and distinct sense of purpose. Ultimately, however, each Librarian in the Order was a Blood Raven first and foremost. Concentrations of Psykana Librarians within normal combat groupings were rarely formed as the mysterious and secretive order reserved the right to organise itself into battle formations when the need arose. However, the Order defined the term dire slightly differently compared to the rest of the Chapter.¹

At some point in the past, the planet of [[Etiamnun III]] was bequethed to the [[Imperium]] by the Eldar of [[Craftworld]] [[Altansar]] 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.¹
