Matarakh is a Fallen Knight World and the home of House Khomentis.[1b]
Its desert surface was once populated with deadly creatures, that tied heavily into Khomentis' rituals. However, this came to an end when the world was discovered by the Imperium during the Great Crusade. Soon the Mechanicum arrived and began strip-mining operations on Matarakh, in order to reach the vast mineral wealth beneath its surface. This led to the death of most of the world's creatures, but despite this House Khomentis remained loyal to the Imperium. This changed millennia later in M33, however, when Matarakh was invaded by Daemons. There are no Imperial records of what horrors befell the world, but it led the Knights of Khomentis to embrace the Dark Mechanicum and the worship of Daemons, which now infest Matarakh. The creatures of the Warp have become the focus of the House's corrupted rituals[1b] and whole continents have been carved into summoning circles, in order to draw more Daemons into existence.[1a]
