Segmentum Obscurus
Description
A fortress world with a north gate, a second gate, a forecourt and a keep. A Guard regiment lost the fortress in 885.M41; since then a warband of the Iron Warriors has held it. In 955.M41 the Cities dug in before it. Hohenwart fell at the north gate, Lindgrund at the second gate, and out of a hull in the forecourt Brendeck was founded anew.
Described in: “Refoundation” (no. 88), cycle “The Twelve Cities”.
Invented, not GW canon. That Karstein lies in the Segmentum Obscurus is an editorial assumption; the stories name no Segmentum.
