Description

The Abbey of the Dawn is a formidable fortress of pale yellow ouslite, nestled within the knife-like slopes of a dark flint mountain in the Calixis Sector. It serves as the main training facility for the Adepta Sororitas, specifically the Lesser Order Famulous of the Opening Eye, where initiates are rigorously trained to resist secular temptations and serve noble families across the sector. Under the leadership of Canoness Goneril and her Mistress of Novices, Sister Gert, novices endure a strict regimen of fasting, prayer, and theological study, while the elite Sisters of Battle from the Order of the Ebon Chalice, led by Palatine Rhiannon, provide martial support and maintain the honor guard at the Cathedral of Illumination.

Appearance

A grand fortress built from pale yellow ouslite, the Abbey of the Dawn stands stark against the rugged, dark flint mountain backdrop. Its architecture is both imposing and serene, with tall spires reaching towards the sky, symbolizing the Sisters' devotion and strength.
