Lilia Mundi is a Feral World, under the control jurisdiction of the Imperium of Man. The planet is well-known as a Black Templar recruiting world, but also as the site of a conflict between the Templars and the Eldar. The population of approximately 4,500,000 is predominantly arranged in a martial culture organised around a brutal warrior code, producing the ideal candidates for induction into the legions of the Adeptus Astartes. The Black Templars legion maintains a presence on the planet at the Vengeris Keep.
The planet was attacked in the eighth century of the 41st Millenium by Eldar of the Saim-Hann Craftworld, after the Iron Bloods’ failed to respond to an evacuation ultimatum issued by an envoy at a tribal contest. The small garrison of Templars was originally over-run by the Eldar forces of Triadhu Firesong and his adviser Oerlin Fargaze. Eldar battle technology was too advanced for the feral tribes, with anti-personnel skimmers exacting a large toll on the population.
