Photep — a heavily modified Gloriana-class ship, flagship of Magnus the Red, with extensive library stacks and a pyramidal chamber of contemplation, the “Sanctum of Magnus”. It carried the Thousand Sons to the Council of Nikaea, where Magnus foresaw the doom of Prospero; its mysterious intervention at Luna saved the survivors of Sisypheum (Wayland and Sharrowkyn).
