Scelus is a world near the Eye of Terror in the Cadian Sector within the Segmentum Obscurus. It was the homeworld of the Sons of Malice Space Marine Chapter before they were excommunicated.[1]
Information
A group of feral tribes were the original inhabitants of Scelus and the barbarous, cannibalistic rituals that the Sons of Malice were excommunicated for originated from these tribes. These tribes were almost entirely eradicated by the Cadian 331st in a planet-wide campaign of genocide performed after the Sons of Malice fled into the Eye of Terror.[1]
Scelus contained a Schola Progenium, that was subject to a raid by by the Iron Warriors.[4]
Scelus has been declared Perdita. During Abaddon's 13th Black Crusade the Sons of Malice attempted to reclaim Scelus.[1]
