As befits the centre of the Chapters command, Prometheus is the site of the '''''Pantheon'''''. The Pantheon is a council comprised of 18 seats, the number of the former [[Legion]], each one dedicated to one of the Chapter's positions of command. Namely these are; one seat for the [[Tu'Shan|Regent of Prometheus]]{{Fn|2a}}, as the Chapter Master is named, six seats for the Company Captains, one seat each for the [[Apothecarion]], [[Librarius]], [[Chaplaincy]] and [[Master of the Fleet|Fleet]] and three seats for the [[Armoury]] and the [[Master of the Forge|Masters of the Forge]]. A further three seats are reserved for guests who are invited with the consent of the rest of the council. The final seat is reserved for the most enigmatic position within the Chapter - that of the [[Forgefather]].{{Fn|2b}}
As the Chapters focal point, Prometheus is also home to the '''Hall of Relics'''{{Fn|2b}}, a vast area containing a great number of shrines and reliquaries devoted to heroes of the Chapter. Within its walls, shrines can be found to [[Xavier]], the most renowned [[Chaplain]] of the Salamanders, T'kell, a legendary Master of the Forge in the days of [[Vulkan]], and [[Kesare]], the great Firedrake Vulkan slew during his trials against the [[Emperor of Mankind|Outlander]].{{Fn|2b}}
Despite Prometheus being the nominal home of the Chapter, the majority of Salamanders are dispersed across Nocturne's surface,{{Fn|2a}} with only the [[Firedrakes]] and the Neophytes remaining within Prometheus's walls.{{Fn|2b}} However, access for the other Companies to Prometheus is facilitated by numerous teleportation points situated all across Nocturne's surface.{{Fn|2b}} The Teleportarium of Prometheus is extensive and, upon ten translation points, each more than capable of supporting a full squad of [[Firedrakes]] in Terminator armour, the whole of the [[1st Company]] may be deployed via [[teleportation]].{{Fn|2b}}
