Re: 'Imperial Culture' (non-canonista)
Chamber of Ten Thousand Worlds.
A room in the Imperial palace with a rounded ceiling. Covered with black marble and having a stylized display of all the worlds in the Imperium. Each system is represented by a semi precious stone implanted with a database for the anthropology of that world according to recent reports.
Also in the room there are display cases containing samples of cultural products of a given world. The worlds to be featured are regularly changed, and the choice of a world to be displayed is theoretically made at random. Cynics have noted that the Emperor has on occasion intervened with this choice to emphasize his favoring or shunning of a given world.
