The Diocese of the Adamant Spires comes to a chapel in Saint-Fauré to request the aid of the Church of the Red Athenæum for creating an astropathic beacon. |
Retrofitting the Ravachol lighthouse as an astropathic beacon was a risk. If fortunate, concentrating and focusing a massive amount of psychic energy might serve as a conduit to amplify the waning Astronomican and pierce the darkness enveloping Vastarian. But it might also serve as a lightning rod for the horrors of the Immaterium, like a scintilla of blood in the water drawing in cartilaginous horrors from the stygian depths, Helicoprion and Edestus.While the principle Ravachol lighthouse would provide the mundane structural elements for the beacon, it needed other more esoteric ingredients such as a wealth of potent psykers, but also a specialized hyper-radial Fresnel lens. Abrax Beregim IV, archbishop of the Diocese of the Adamant Spires, recognized the need for optically pure glass cut into the concentric Fresnel design, which led them to the Church of the Red Athenæum. The Red Church was long venerated for their skill in glass making, with many of its members being master glassmiths and artisans. With this in mind, the Spyreheads made their way to a church in Saint-Fauré, a small precinct of Ravachol…
