Affiliation: Ironhead Squats
Found on: Necromunda

The Jardlans are one of the Ironhead Squat Prospector clans on the planet Necromunda. They originate from the Holdfast of Jardlan, located near the Secundan Abyss, close to Hive Secundus.[1a]

History

At some point during the Great Darkness, all communications with Jardlan were lost. It was rumoured that Jardlan had succumbed to the mutant horrors of the Underearth or the Dustwall Crawler tribes. Others criticized Jardlan for not relocating their hold when Secundus fell, believing it was only a matter of time before the evil within Secundus reached them. Some even blamed Jardlan for excavating near the Secundan Abyss, where the Broodspire and its offspring were imprisoned.[1a]

In reality, Jardlan’s Holdfast was destroyed by the Malstrain.[1e]

Structure

The Hall of the Ancestors[1c]
  • Jardlan Gates : Fortified beyond the usual standards of the insular mining clans, Jardlan's gates are inscribed with ancient runes, decipherable only by the clan elders.[1d]
  • Deep Rift: a gate which marks the boundary between the Squat territories and the Secundan Abyss. The area around this gate is notoriously treacherous, destabilized by the gravitic warheads that toppled Hive Secundus.[1d]
  • Hall of the Ancestors: a place of great reverence, filled with gigantic ancient machines, whom the purpose of has been forgotten.[1c]
  • The Graven Dais was the room where the Great Council of Jardlan would meet.[1b]

Outposts

They have a remote outpost in the Red Ruin Mountain, which is currently occupied by the followers of the Charter Master Dalin Larsekson. He once resided within Jardlan's Holdfast, but was asked to leave when his engineering projects began to routinely damage it.[2a]
