Summary
Triassos
Triassos is an old world orbiting and old star. A great red orb hanging in a copper blue sky; the it is a damp sweltering world, networked with small seas where the bulk of the land consists of vast expanses of undulating hills with slow, silt choked rivers wending lazily between them, and all overgrown with verdant decadent green canopy.
Upon the few mountains, higher, where the air is cooler, away from the endless decaying tentacles of vegetation the hive cities perch. The only mountain not surmounted by a hive city is the last great volcano thrown up by the planet's listless core, a great cone of basalt that who'se sides still smoke and ooze lava and upon which the chapter has established its fortress.
The n'Tabi were found centuries after the planet's colonization. Where the hives were built up to avoid the jungle the monstrous xenos had gone down, living beneath the surface. As the hives grew up, they also grew down, acids and chemical wastes seeping into the hearts of the mountains, finally into the lairs of the n'Tabi. Their blind wormlike heads could sense the movements of air currents and catch the softest vibrations and so they struck at the sumps first climbing out of the depths and slaughtering gangers. When they reached the first arbiter wall the Telepathica sent for help, and the Chapter arrived. 250 years of fighting beneath the skin of the world. 250 years of flame filled tunnels, melted earthen bunkers and geneseed lost to cave ins both intentional and not.
The n'Tabi were not buried- they were cremated. And as a sign of gratitude, they were awarded the right to build their Fortress-Monastary there.
The Trees that Walk
Upon a faraway system, the Imperial Purgators came across a race of nigh-immortal trees that had enslaved human worlds with the help of their "Druid-priests". It is not known whether the walking trees were natural, or the result of some unknown warp sorcery. Their language is unknown. How they enslaved the humans is unknown. The creed of their tame 'druids' is unknown. All that is known is that they burned.
