Overview
Nereus III is ruled by feudalistic lords who worship a barbaric aspect of the God-Emperor. This world provides bovine meat and military conscripts for the Imperium.[1a]
The local Administratum turns a blind eye to illicit trade and criminal activities as long as anyone accused of witchcraft is thrown onto the cleansing pyres.[1a]
Nereus III is infamous for its slave fighting pits.[1a]
History
When Nereus III was invaded by the forces of Chaos, Ambrose Caradoc was among the Imperial forces that later arrived to defend it. However, he was later captured while protecting an Imperial command centre that fell to the invaders. Ambrose was then separated from his Knight and was among a groups of captured Imperials that were imprisoned within the command centre. An Inquisitor from the Caligari Conclave, later infiltrated the centre and freed the surviving prisoners; allowing Ambrose to reunite with the Crimson Wanderer. Afterwards, the grateful Freeblade offered his services to the Inquisitor, who asked Ambrose to clear the way to a besieged Inquisitorial fortress on Nereus III. He gladly did so, and Ambrose then fought off an Alpha Legion attack on the fortress, killing its leader in the process. This allowed the Inquisitor to complete his mission and he soon left Nereus III, while Ambrose remained to continue defending the world[1b].
