Editing Avalonus (section)

===Notable Locations===
*'''The First Sword''' serves as the heart of Imperial rule, with Sector Governess Rosella Khassom-Ownevere holding court from within its glass-topped apex. Rising nearly 15 kilometres into the air, it towers over lesser blades. At its peak is the '''Imperial Curia''', where the Lady Victorum meets with representatives of the Imperial Adepta and her vassal worlds. Beneath stained glass renditions of Saint Castor’s victories, the powerbrokers of the Imperium negotiate tithes and plot the course of the sector. Serving them, and influencing them, is the Majordomo of the Imperial Curia and their coterie of gilt-uniformed Esquires. These ostensibly neutral functionaries are a conduit and source of myriad facts and rumors, gleaned in their duties serving the governance of the planet.

*'''The Grand Court of the Perilous Round''': Located just beneath the Imperial Curia, this is where the Arch-Council of Avalonus meets to discuss matters of planetary import. While not as grand as the Curia, its soaring walls are covered with adamantium shields, each emblazoned with the coat of arms of Avalonus’ greatest noble houses. At the center of the Court are the eleven Seats Superior, where the representatives of the six other hives sit around a round table with the Lord-Generals of the two PDF armies, the Inquisitorial Agent, the Mechanicus Envoy and the Saint’s Voice. At the nominal head of the table is the ''"Throne Perilous"'', which only the ruler of Hive Gildwynn or their chosen representative may take. 

*'''Under the Grand Court''': There are thousands of chambers and rooms that host emissaries and agents of the nobles, cartels and governments of the Victorum Sector, as well as representatives of the Imperial Adepta and dignitaries from beyond the sector’s borders. This is the heart of the Administratum, which creeps over a dozen square kilometres of records rooms and clerical quarters. Millions of clerks and servitors collate the output and consumption of Avalonus’ manufactories and people, ensuring that the people of Avalonus fulfill the demands of the Imperial Tithe. 

*'''Tower of Sight''': This electrum-plated spire, thin and sharp like a needle, it is home to the two dozen astropaths that maintain the Victorum Sector’s links to the greater Imperium. It also hosts the vast support mechanisms of the sector's Adeptus Astra Telepathica, which collects and dispatches psykers to the myriad worlds of the Victorum Sector. Unknown to all but the highest levels of the Imperial adepta, the Tower maintains a battalion of sanctioned battle-psykers within its silvery depths, ready to be deployed against daemonic incursions and rogue psykers. Here the skillful touch of High Choirmaster Ibrahim Thure ensures the various demands of the Imperium do not lightly tug on the psychic weights of hundreds of bound psykers, a duty which brings him in frequent contact and conflict with Rogue Traders, Lord Militants, and Inquisitors alike.

*'''Iudex Antagonistes''':  In the midst of the gleaming blades of 'The Gold' sits a squat black fortress built in the shape of the Imperial Aquila. This is the '''Iudex Antagonistes''', the heart of the Adeptus Arbites operations in the sub-sector. Visible from all the blades of the high and mighty, it is a grim reminder of Imperial Justice and the cost of failing your Emperor-given duties. Such is the scale of the demands placed upon the Arbites that only a single 'pinion' of the fortress can be spared for duties upon Avalonus itself; the rest are devoted to the functions and responsibilities of the Precinct Terentilius Astra, which spans the subsector. Marshal of the Court Lex Fischig is literally bound, mind and body, to the precinct-fortress; such is the flood of data, judgments, and Arbites operations he must deal with. Lesser High Marshals and Judges, such as the infamous High Marshal Tekeny, are marginally more accessible to the great and worthy of the Imperium, and more frequently found enforcing the Law afield.

*'''Varranus Spaceport''': Sprawling over the great docks of the Sea of Tiran,  Varranus is the official spaceport of Avalonus, where any Imperial presence will first land and disembark. As such, it combines both Avalonian traditions and Imperial design, to impress upon guests both the unique character of the capital world and its loyalty to the Imperium. A constant stream of lighters, shuttles, and aerial transports feeds the Conurbation hives from its blast-scarred surface, and carries the products of the great northern continent to the great fleets in orbit.
