Prospero was the world Magnus the Red landed on, and thus home to the Thousand Sons. Conveniently enough for the red cyclops, Prospero had become a haven for psykers like himself and had flourished into a full-fledged paradise world, covered in white marble spires and powered by techno-psychic energy arrays. After curtailing the activity of a race of dangerous psychic predators called the Psychneuein, Magnus was named the leader of the planet, at which point it had become a veritable library of lore about the Warp that could not be found anywhere else. Unfortunately, he never realized how vulnerable the planet was to an attack from above, which ended up coming back to bite him in his crimson ass.
It was destroyed by the Space Wolves early in the Horus Heresy in what is now called the Burning of Prospero. Following that event, the Thousand Sons relocated to the Planet of Sorcerers.
Appropriately, it was named after Prospero, the sorcerer and protagonist of Shakespeare's play The Tempest.
