The Screaming Vortex is one of two massive Warp Storms which separate the Calixis Sector of the Imperium from the Koronus Expanse [1]. Within the storm, several worlds are known to the Chaos renegades who reside in the region.
Contents
The 13th Station of Passage
Reputedly discovered by the Haarlock or Winterscale Rogue Trader lines, the 13th Station of Passage is the most frequented pathway into the Calixis Sector and Koronus Expanse.[2]
The Gloaming Worlds
The worlds on the outermost edge of the vortex are known as the Gloaming Worlds. They include:
- Xurunt: a world of primitive savages and massive beasts.
- Q'Sal: a world ruled by Sorceror Technocrats.
- Berin and Asphodel: two worlds populated by Ork and Kroot tribes.
Harrowed Space
Within the spiral, the region known as Harrowed Space is one of several dangerous warp currents, sometimes used by smugglers.
The Ragged Helix
The region known as the ragged helix, where the relative stability of the Gloaming Worlds gives way to the warp, contains a chain of asteroids impossibly connected by atmospheres.
The Inner Ring
Within the inner ring, hybrid worlds of daemonic and physical nature are the norm. Many are believed to be former Eldar Maiden Worlds. They include:
- Aphexis: a half-dead world of eternal twilight.
- Melancholia: a world where building is impossible due to some unnatural law.
- Mire: a world of swamps.
- Mammon: a world entirely populated by warlike cultists devoted to their belief in the Imperial Creed.
- Furia: an ocean world where the debris of wars across the galaxy regularly washes up.
The Lower Vortex
All the worlds at the deepest point of the screaming vortex are Daemon Worlds:
- Crucible: a world which re-shapes according to the Chaos God whose forces currently hold sway.
- Contrition: a world of daemonic cities.
- The Frozen Heart: The eye of the storm, and reputed to be where the dynamo which fuels the warp storm is located.
