When the Thousand Sons first arrived on the planet, they found it unpopulated. Over thousands of years of raiding, they have acquired a multitude of minions. This has created a servant underclass, some of which have escaped their masters into the hostile land. These escaped servants then often join the nominally independent nomadic warbands upon the Planet of the Sorcerers, warbands led by both [[Chaos Champion|Champions]] from the Thousand Sons or powerful mortals risen from the ranks of the escaped servants. Often, these mortal champions arising among the warbands are then recruited back to serve the Thousand Sons. Individuals with [[psychic powers]] are much sought after for the Thousand Sons to act as servants, becoming known as [[Thrall Wizards]], psykers bound to the service of particular [[Sorcerers]]. Also notable is the amount of [[Beastmen]] arisen upon the planet, a subordinate population group that developed over thousands of years. While some of these [[mutants]] — specifically referred to as [[Tzaangors]] — enter various warbands, most remain wild. Little is said of flora or fauna, apart from the presence of [[Chaos Hounds]] amongst some warbands{{Fn|1}} and other Chaos creatures (see below).{{Fn|6a}} Random bands of Heretic Astartes periodically appear on Sortiarius, sometimes from time periods unfamiliar to the Thousand Sons themselves.{{Fn|5}} There are also bands of [[Cultists]] roaming the planet.{{Fn|6b}}
After the [[Siege of the Fenris System]] Magnus the Red was able to teleport Sortiarius out of the Eye of Terror and into the Materium over [[Prospero]],{{Fn|4}}{{Fn|6a}} bringing with it a great [[Warp Rift]].{{Fn|4}} Magnus later conducted a great ritual from Sortiarius during the [[Psychic Awakening]], but was [[Assault on Sortiarius|foiled by a force of Dark Angels and Grey Knights]].{{Fn|88b}}
==Geography==
Beyond the key locations of Sortiarius lays endless expanses of barren landscape. The landscape is in a constant state of change and wracked by powerful storms. Many [[Beastmen]], [[Chaos Spawn]], enormous monstrosities and other fell creatures stalk the wastelands of Sortiarius.{{Fn|6a}}
