“Pride has conducted us unto death, and torment awaits all who follow in our steps.”
–Attributed to Faith Laithmon
Overview
In ages past, man believed that all evil and corruption in the
Koronus Expanse emanated from the Accursed Demesne: ills in the warp, energies that blasted life from worlds, clusters of stars that seemingly died together in unnatural cataclysms, misfortunes, ghost-vessels, and the ravening Ork. Wise
Rogue Traders shun these voids even now, and little is known of the worlds deep within the Accursed Demesne. Common voidfarers live in terror of the Demesne and the ill fortune that flows from it. They whisper tales of xenos tombs upon Lathimon’s Death, cursed Dolorium, and the domain of the fearsome Ork beyond. Among other dangers, the Eldar Corsairs known as the
Crow Spirits hunt here.
Stars and Courses Uncharted
The Accursed Demesne is a vast and uncharted region into which few have voyaged and returned. Few routes into the Demesne exist, and those which are likely to be accurate are jealously guarded by the Navigator clans who first found them. Other fragments of warp navigational information are highly inaccurate and likely to prove lethal to both Navigator and ship, should they be followed blindly. Those who decide to voyage into the Accursed Demesne do so in the knowledge that they are stepping into the true unknown where their fate is subject to the wildest chance and where they may find ruin as easily as fortune. To a bold and ambitious soul, however, the Accursed Demesne is a place of possibility poisoned by a dark reputation.
