Tartarus was an Imperial colony world that was featured in the original Dawn of War.

History

Tartarus was once the primary producer of tartar sauce for the Imperium. Prior to the events in Dawn of War, Tartarus had been a relatively peaceful world. However, what the inhabitants didn't know is that they were living directly above an ancient object known as the Maledictum which held a Greater Daemon of Khorne prisoner (fuck that). This Greater Daemon was apparently able to influence the inhabitants despite being trapped, and proceeded to slowly bend the unfaithful to it's twisted will. This Daemon had originally been trapped within the Maledictum by the Eldar of the Craftworld Biel-tan lead by Farseer Macha. However, every 3000 years, a Warp Storm was said to travel the system which would give the Greater Daemon enough power to fully influence anyone still present on Tartarus. Apparently, this is what happened to a past colony that were present during such an event. Inquisitor Mordecai Toth remarks that the Daemon "drove the inhabitants insane", forcing them to bury all traces of the Maledictum to prevent Daemon hunters like himself from finding and destroying it.
