Akari au Raa steals a bioweapon called Eidmi from Silenius au Lune, and keeps it out of fear that a day would come dire enough that it would have to be used. Akari builds the most secure vault in Ilium on the unmarked moonlet known as Orpheus to hide the weapon, and charges an elite garrison of shadow knights with guarding it. Akari considers the weapon to be so shameful to House Raa that not even the vault's guardians are allowed to know the full truth of what they are protecting
