==Warband Homeworld== The Death Smiths are based on the Daemon world of Adranum. A planet fashioned entirely from metal, from its clouds of iron powder to its seas of molten copper, it is an ideal refuge for a warband of insane smiths. Originally populated by nomadic tribes of Bloodletters breeding Juggernauts for gruesome corridas, it was cleared of all life by the followers of Wieland before they settled there. Although Space Marines are now indisputable masters of the planet, its population is mainly comprised of their slaves, unfortunate wretches kidnapped from their homeworlds and brought to Adranum to tend to its colossal machines and serve as fodder for grand sacrifices. Even though some of them manage to escape the citadels of their captors, they hardly ever survive for more than a couple of weeks, for Adranum has no sources of food or water. However, there is one notable exception to this rule. According to a legend, a large group of slaves once managed to escape from the citadel of the Sixth Forge. They have wandered the scorching plains of Adranum until hunger and thirst forced them to turn to cannibalism. This allowed them to survive for several months longer than usual, long enough for the powers of Warp to start corrupting their bodies. Eventually, they turned into rabbit-like beastmen who could produce a sizeable litter every month and survive by eating their own offspring, leaving enough to propagate their species. The Death Smiths do not mind these new squatters on their lands, for the rabbit people make terrible slaves and even worse sacrifices. It is almost certain that Adranum keeps many more secrets than its masters are interested in uncovering. For instance, a warband of Eternal Zealots has recently tried to bomb the Planet of Smiths from the orbit, leaving numerous tears in its metallic surface. Gigantic whirling cogs and gears could be seen from those tears, leading some Death Smiths to believe that their planet was in fact one colossal mechanism serving some mysterious function. Some thought it was a clock counting down to an apocalyptic event in the future, others believed it was an enormous weapon that could potentially bring down the Imperium if harnessed properly. In the end, however, nobody cared about it strong enough to actually venture down those tears and investigate.
