Refugee's Wail
Refugee's Wail is a Segmentum Pacificus Warp Storm, that is located in the Belt of Iron. Its baleful light is visible to worlds across the Segmentum's Western Fringe.[1]
It was created during the Horus Heresy, when the Belt of Iron was consumed by war between the Loyalists and Traitors. This Cataclysm of Iron saw many atrocities committed and the catalyst for the Warp Storm's birth was created when the Traitor Titan Legion Kulisaetai began killing refugees within the Aultarun System. Their attacks unleashed a ritual on the System's star, which was similar to the one conducted by the Word Bearers during the Battle for Calth. Within days, the sun had undergone billions of years of expansion and many worlds were devoured by it, or were scoured clean by the sun's radiation. Those worlds that escaped this fate, were instead consumed by the emergence of the new Warp Storm, that was brought into being with the sacrifice of billions. This was the Refugee's Wail, which earned its name from the atrocity committed within the Aultarun System.[1]
