Post-Cataclysmic World

Sector / Segmentum

Segmentum Obscurus

Description

Sythrael is a world that was already dead when the cohort of Praetor Ares Vantine stranded on it. Ancient records — as far as they could be deciphered at all — point to a pre-Imperial civilisation that was wiped out millennia ago by an unknown xenos power.
Home world of: The Rictus Choir (chapter).

Fauna & Flora

Nothing living except what the chapter brought with it. In the ruins lie bleaching bones that belong to no species any register knows.

Population & Society

No population of its own. The Rictus Choir is the population: a few thousand brothers and the retinue they keep from captured ships, castaways and defectors. The world has produced no one since its builders died.
