Description
Vhelmarr hangs at the edge of the settled Imperium like a dried-out boulder the tide forgot. The death world is made of red-burnt plains, obsidian-black massifs and ravines full of poisonous vapour; asteroid fields from impacts of millennia ago drift in orbit. On the surface the Kar-Howlers hunt in packs, and underground the Silent Germs spread like a nervous system.
Home world of: The Sanguine Arcana (chapter).

Fauna & Flora
Red-burnt flatlands and obsidian-black mountains, thorns and saltwort along the ravines. The Kar howlers hunt in packs and know the watch changes of the settlements better than the watchmen; beneath the ground the Silent Germs spread like a nervous system.
Population & Society
Some tens of thousands of people in settlements on the rims of the ravines, howled at by the Kar howlers in the night; whoever survives the night has a claim to a name. The Sanguine Arcana take their candidates from the settlements the Silent Germs have not yet reached.
