===Homeworld=== The homeworld of the Eyes of Mordred is the moon of Fovea, orbiting the larger world of Fovea Primus. This airless rock was chosen as an ideal point to base the fortress monastery of the chapter as its lack of atmosphere allowed orbital docks to be built directly into the fortress monastery and so improved reaction to hostile Eldar actions. The fortress monastery was built in a large but naturally defensible crater known as the Occulous; this name is often also used to refer to the fortress monastery itself. Due to the highly light sensitive eyes of the chapter, the inside of the fortress monastery appears to be a dimly lit and brooding place. Most visitors find the dark echoing halls with the occasional half-seen shuffling cowled figure or shadowed statue to be disconcerting. In truth, the inside is actually well decorated with frescoes the not only depicting the missions and success of Mordred and the chapter but also the history of the Ultramarines Legion and the Doom Eagles' most valorous actions. A great many Eldar soul stones stud the walls as trophies of war, each one a worthy foe slain and consigned to forever rest in the halls of the Occulous. Due to his enhanced eye sight, a battle brother is able to view the halls of the Occulous as if they were bathed in sunlight. ;Fovea Primus As Fovea had no existing human population, the primary recruiting world of the Eyes of Mordred was chosen to be its large neighbour Fovea Primus. This temperate world is one of contrast; glittering cities of white stone and bronze sit atop the plateaus that are scattered across the continents, surrounded by a sea of trees which spans most of the habitable region of the world known only as the forest. Local superstition says that the forest is haunted; studies by Imperial adepts have shown this not to be the case, however several species of hallucination inducing plants and fungi infest the forest leading to these wild fascinations. People who enter the forest are said to be confronted by their worst nightmares made real; the Eyes of Mordred allow this idea to remain in the population so that the forest retains its terrifying reputation. In addition, this makes it the perfect testing ground for recruits. The people of Fovea Primus are simple; their world has been held in a post-feudal state for 8 millenia with advanced weaponry and ideologies being off-limits to the general population. The rule of Fovea Primus takes the form of a constitutional vigilante government; laws were laid down by the Eyes of Mordred eight millenia ago and these must be followed. Deviation from the law will be met with communal punishment should it be found, ranging from public lashing, to a week's stay in the forest, to the complete slaughter of a settlement's population. In order to avoid these outcomes, the population will punish its own; any found breaking the law will often be killed or crippled by their own people so as to avoid a punishment for the masses. This leads to a idyllic looking society living in beautiful clean cities, however there is a constant fear of failure and reprisal in every heart.
