Another of Gamemaster Shas'o R'myr's campaigns in the Tiji Sector, Excelsus: A Midsummer Knight's Dream is a Dark Heresy game that succeeds Exelion - and by extension, Squat Crusade and Deffwotch. Following a fireteam of the Shattered Suns mercenary guild from the hive world of Nemi as they tackle the job of a hundred lifetimes hunting down an ancient archeotech cache, it's packed with R'myr's trademark madness, comedy, and firefights.

Audax

This rediscovered Knight World serves as House Excelsus' base of operations. The nobles live their daily lives of paperwork, firing practice, and the consumption of genuine food from their base in Adtonitus Compound on the planet's surface. Around the compound, a shantytown Bekowski poetically dubbed 'Hvergelmir' has grown as immigrants come with hopes of one day joining the House and piloting a Knight.
