The Damned World
At the remote edges of the Ultima Segmentum, far from the heart of the Imperium, lies Kappa‑9.
- A harsh world, scarred by wars, disasters, and struggles for power.
- Yet despite the misery and the ruins, humanity endures.
- Faith, rites, and knowledge have splintered, warped, and become sacred across the generations.
- Some still serve the Emperor with unwavering devotion.
- Others whisper forbidden prayers in the shadows.
The inhabitants now live to the rhythm of litanies, clinging to the fragile hope of better days.
E Tenebris Lux
One of the last human hamlets still standing.
- Built around an old Astra Militarum outpost.
- It shelters the 88th Regiment of the Great North, tenacious guardians of Imperial faith despite their extreme isolation.
- In such an environment, loyalty is precious… and betrayal can strike at any moment.
