The Screaming Vortex is one of two massive [[Warp Storm]]s which separate the [[Calixis Sector]] of the Imperium from the [[Koronus Expanse]] <sup>1</sup>. Within the storm, several worlds are known to the Chaos renegades who reside in the region.
==The 13th Station of Passage==
Reputedly discovered by the [[Haarlock]] or [[Winterscale]] Rogue Trader lines, the 13th Station of Passage is the most frequented pathway into the [[Calixis Sector]] and [[Koronus Expanse]].<sup>2</sup>
==The Gloaming Worlds==
The worlds on the outermost edge of the vortex are known as the Gloaming Worlds.
They include
[[Xurunt]], A world of primitive savages and massive beasts.
[[Q'Sal]], A world ruled by Sorceror Technocrats.
[[Berin]] and [[Asphodel]], two worlds populated by [[Ork]] and [[Kroot]] tribes.
==Harrowed Space==
within the spiral, the region known as harrowed space is one of dangerous warp currents, sometimes used by smugglers.
==The Ragged Helix==
The region known as the ragged helix, where the relative stability of the Gloaming Worlds gives way to the warp, contains a chain of asteroids impossibly connected by atmospheres.
==The Inner Ring==
Within the inner ring, hybrid worlds of daemonic and physical nature are the norm. Many are believed to be former [[Eldar]] [[Maiden World]]s.
They include
[[Aphexis]], a half-dead world of eternal twilight.
[[Melancholia]], a world where building is impossible due to some unnatural law.
[[Mire]], a world of swamps.
[[Mammon]], a world entirely populated by warike cultists devoted to their belief in the [[Imperial Creed]].
[[Furia]], an ocean world where the debris of wars across the galaxy regularly washes up.
==The Lower Vortex==
All the worlds at the deepest point of the screaming vortex are [[Daemon World]]s.
[[Crucible]], a world which reshapes according to the chaos god whose forces currently hold sway.
[[Contrition]], a world of daemonic cities.
[[The Frozen Heart]], The eye of the storm, and reputed to be where the dynamo which fuels the warp storm is located.
==Noteworthy Worlds of the Screaming Vortex==
[[Xurunt]]
[[Q'Sal]]
[[Berin]] and [[Asphodel]]
[[Aphexis]],
