Durell is a Daemon World, that lies within the Hadex Anomaly.[1]
Overview
The Hive World of Durell was not the most pious of worlds before the coming of the Anomaly, and once Slaanesh got its sinewy fingers into the Spire Nobles, it was impossible for anyone to stop what was coming.[1]
When the Anomaly first manifested, the first thing that was affected was Hive Primus, the seat of planetary government. The hive was transformed from a magnificent structure of stone and steel into one of flesh. Those that were unlucky enough to have habitation quarters on the outer edges found themselves being drawn into the walls. Their bodies formed the mortar that would hold this new structure together. Their mouths were placed facing inwards, so that all could hear the moans of ecstasy and cries of agony that Slaanesh could bring to those that it favoured. The upper spires became dens of decadence and excess. The middle hive is a gathering place where all can worship Slaanesh in any manner they choose. The hive itself became a Grand Temple to the Dark Prince.[1]
