The [[Stormseers]] of the [[White Scars]] choose the potential recruits for the Chapter from among the warring tribes, identifying the bravest and most promising young warriors while Fallen White Scars are brought back to their homeworld, to the pyre tombs on Khum Karta.{{cite this}}
===Quan ZhouLocations===*{{Main|Quan Zhou}}'''[[Quan Zhou]]''' is : the White Scars [[Fortress-Monastery]] and sits at the peak of the [[Khum Kharta Mountains]], the most inaccessible mountain range on Chogoris.{{Fn|3a}}*'''Khum Kharta Mountains''': Enormous mountain range{{Fn|6}}*'''Empty Quarter''': enormous steppe wilderness inhabited by horse-nomads. Most of Chogoris' inhabitants dwells here but it maintains a low population density.{[Fn|6}}
==History==
*In 990999.[[M41]], Chogoris was among the systems besieged by a [[Red Corsair]] fleet under [[Huron Blackheart]]. The White Scars were forced to withdraw from the [[Third War for Armageddon]] and [[Second Agrellan Campaign]] to deal with the threat.{{Fn|2}}
*???.[[M42]]. In the aftermath of [[Cadia]]'s [[Great Rift|destruction]], the nearby [[Maelstrom]] has grown in size and power and has begun affecting Chogoris itself. Now the world's grasslands burn from the [[Warp]]'s power and its beasts run wild, or turn to monstrous, deformed things. Worse still, the White Scars have not been able to protect the world's population from the predations of the Red Corsairs, who have begun building ziggurats from bodies of Chogoris' dead. The Chapter does not know why the Red Corsairs are building these mountains of dead flesh, but are sure the ziggurats are part of some ritual dedicated to the [[Chaos Gods]], that is close to completion.{{Fn|4}} Thankfully for the White Scars, [[Roboute Guilliman]]'s [[Indomitus Crusade]] managed to relieve the world and deliver new reinforcements of [[Primaris Space Marine]]s.{{Fn|5}}
==Culture==
Chogoris is still semi-feudal as of the [[41st Millennium]]. While there are cities and spaceport's scattered across the planet, most of the population lives in the wilderness of the Empty Quarter. The tribes of the empty quarter have little contact with the wider Imperium and still utilize bows, swords, and great hawks dubbed ''Berkuts''. The tribes war against one another and subsist on hardy ''aduu'' and ''yat'' beasts. Despite their simple lifestyle, they are still capable of creating beautiful weapons and artifacts and are masters of calligraphy and poetry. Some of these tribes are large and bear dynastic names going back centuries while others are more recently offshoots. The tribes were briefly united by Jaghatai Khan but since his disappearance war has returned to the world.{{Fn|6}}
