== The Cursed Moons of Shaa-Dome ==

The eldar homeworld of Shaa-Dome has three moons, one white, one red, and one green. Originally, the white moon was dedicated to Lileath, the green moon was dedicated to Kurnous, and the red moon was dedicated to Eldanesh (it was originally dedicated to Khaine, then dedicated to Eldanesh after Khaine [[Nobledark_Imperium_Notable_People#Khaine|fell out of favor for his little incident]]). However, since the Fall of the Eldar, the moons have been rededicated to different, darker gods, specifically the three that don't have as much of a presence as Slaanesh on Shaa-Dome proper.

The white moon of Lileath was rededicated to Tzeentch, and is one of the largest single holdings of Tzeentchian Chaos Eldar outside of the academies of the tainted Webway. The moon's surface is covered in twisted geoglyphs that form runes when viewed at astronomical distances, which work like ley lines to funnel the raw power of the Warp to the temple complexes located at their nexi.

The red moon of Eldanesh was rededicated to Khorne, though in practice it is Arrotyr's, and he doesn't use it as much as his officers do. The Old Helm's main presence on Shaa-Dome is in the form of the marshal's massive fleet in orbit and moored at this moon, and upon the portions of Shaa-Dome's outer surface that Arrotyr claims as his conquests at any given moment.  His manse on the mid-levels of Shaa-Dome which he rarely uses was the estate of his house prior to the Fall/Ascension. The moon itself is more of a giant shipyard/fortress/armory to supply his constant squabbles with the Slaaneshis of Shaa-Dome's interior.

The green moon of Kurnous was rededicated to Nurgle. As one might expect from anything Nurglite, it went from "not bad" to "festering fungal fleshscape" real quick. The air has a mild anasthetic quality to it so the longer you are there the less things hurt. It isn't healing you as such but you could be mistaken for thinking it is. Every surface is variations on sticky, slimy or damp and if you have any open cut on you it will soon be infected. Even if you don't it will get in via any orifice soon enough.

Assuming you die you get absorbed into the living walls or floor. Or if you fall asleep for more than a few days due to fever. If you get absorbed whilst still alive you will die at some point. Sort of. Loose cohesion and coherent function would probably be a more accurate way of describing it as your bits and pieces are broken down and moved around and digested. Brain is usually the first thing to start to be broken down, the moon doesn't need additional thinking time. Sometimes one is preserved and put to use. There is some evidence that consciousness is regrettably preserved.

Those that don't die, or at least live a longer time, are gradually subsumed by fungal and parasitic infections. They replace you one bit at a time like a rather sad ship of Theseus until nothing remains. By that point you probably don't look like you anymore but in some cases the semi-conductive algae (or something else) mirrors the old brain activity so completely that you could probably pass for you over the phone. Assuming you can still use a phone.

The resident native population are only theorized to have once been eldar. There were eldar living there before The Fall. These things are there now. They don't appear to be daemonic in origin but good luck trying to find a definitive answer. Some of them can be spoken to but they are all quite mad.

It is claimed that the original stain of Nurgles Rot came from here.

Nimina Demthring likes to use the moon to imprison those that won't accept the glory of Nurgle/Isha and aren't powerful enough to fight her off. Let them get digested and stew as moss men for a few millennia until they finally accept Nurgle's gift.
