'''Prometheus''' is [[Nocturne]]'s moon and the [[Fortress-monastery]] of the [[Salamanders]]. The monastery is the only construction built there and is the centre of the [[Salamanders]] logistics and administration. Being an over-sized moon, it causes massive stress on [[Nocturne]]'s tectonic plates, resulting in an event, known as the Time of Trials, which occurs every [[Nocturne]] year (15 [[Terra]]n years). During this time, the tectonic stresses induced by the increased gravitational pull of Prometheus, cause the planet's thousands of active volcanoes to erupt and the seas rise up in vast waves.{{Fn|1}}

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}} Prometheus is the site of the [[Salamanders Fleet]] and as such, it plays host to a great dock where the chapterschapter' s [[Strike CruisersCruiser]] s and [[Battle Barge]]s can be restored. Along with the Fleet in general, one of the Chapters greatest relics, The the [[Chalice of Fire (Salamanders)|Chalice of Fire]], a vast forge-ship of Vulkan's that provides most of the Chapters armament, is moored at Prometheus. Another of [[Artefacts of Vulkan|Vulkan's Relics]], an array of space-bound lasers named 'The known as the [[Eye of Vulkan']], orbits Prometheus, protecting it from attack. ==Related Articles==*[[Moons (List)]]
