'''Chogoris''', known in [[Imperial]] records as '''Mundus Planus''', is the birthworld of the [[Primarch]] [[Jaghatai Khan]] and [[Adeptus Astartes Homeworld|homeworld]] of the [[White Scars]] [[Space Marine Chapter]]. == Geography==Chogoris is a fertile world with lush greenery, soaring mountains and azure seas, which, at the time of the [[Great Crusade]], had achieved a black powder level of technology. The dominant Chogorian empire at the time of the Great Crusade was an organized aristocracy which had conquered most of the planet with well-equipped and highly disciplined armies. Armoured horsemen and densely packed blocks of infantry had won every campaign their ruler, the [[Palatine (Chogoris)|Palatine]], had fought.{{cite this}}
To the west of the Palatine's empire was a vast, wind-blown steppe, known as the Empty Quarter, home to nomadic tribes of savage horsemen who for centuries had roamed the vast grasslands. The tribes of the steppes lived in tents and followed a cycle of seasonal migration from summer pastures to protected winter valleys in the Khum Karta mountains. Consummate horsemen and archers, these disparate tribes frequently fought one another for control of ancestral pastureland. Chogorian armies had never invaded the Empty Quarter as the dry and desolate lands were of no value to the Palatine. However, Chogorian nobles would often lead hunting bands into the steppes and take whole tribes east as slaves or capture a lone tribesmen to hunt through the mountains for sport.{{cite this}}
The [[StormseersStormseer]] s 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}}
===Notable Locations===*'''[[Quan Zhou]]''': 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}}
==Culture==
Chogoris is still semi-feudal as of the [[M41|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}}
