Changes

[[File:Terra.JPG|thumb|right|An another view of Terra.]]

Terra is a hive world, the earth has long ago been stripped of all forms of resources; its soil is utterly barren and its atmosphere is a fog of pollution. Massive, labyrinthine edifices of state sprawl across the vast majority of the surface. Its oceans have long ago boiled away. Many mountain ranges have been leveled - perhaps all but the Himalayas, which seemingly remain all but untouched due to the laboratories said to be underneath and the chambers of the [[Astronomican]] that course throughout the whole mountain range. Despite being devastated during the Horus Heresy and earlier than that during the long Age of Strife, Terra is probably the most vastly-populated and built-up hive world in the Imperium. Beneath countless layers and millennia of urban accretion, catacombs hold older cultures completely different from the surface ones.

Much of the population of Terra exists in the most terrible squalor, their greatest hope that one of their offspring might be accepted into the Adeptus Terra, the Priesthood of Earth, as a Menial, an [[adept]] of the lowliest sort.²
