Scound's Fall is an Imperial world which lies some 100 light years from Terra.[1]
History
Scound's Fall would be the site of one of the most daring Chaos Space Marines raids to date in M41. Having slipped through the Cadian Gate, a small flotilla of ships from the Night Lords spent months in the Warp evading detection by Imperium patrols. Scound's Fall was chosen as a target because of its large Schola Progenium Abbey, a place where future Admirals, Commissars, Storm Troopers, and Sisters of Battle were housed and trained by the Adeptus Ministorum.[1]
The viciousness of the Night Lords' attack left no survivors after seven days of fighting, and butchered remains of both sides were laid out in talismanic patterns to help with the summoning of Daemons. Having gorged themselves on the souls and bodies of humans, the Daemons rampaged across half the world while the Night Lords left, eluding Imperial warships intent on their capture.[1]
For the Night Lords to have struck so decisively and so far from the Eye of Terror sent shockwaves through the military command of Segmentum Solar and eventually led to the court martial and exile of Lord Commander Solar Jaxon.[1]
