Its [[tithe]]s mainly consist of ore from its mines and men for the [[Imperial Guard]]. A [[Feudal World]], Acreage's technology is medieval and its population consists largely of degenerate peasants and bickering nobles. '''The Grand Realm of Ascandia''', the High King's realm, spans the majority of the northern landmass.{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|2a}}{{Fn|3a}}

For The world has seen much interference by the [[Inquisition]] particularly by members of the [[Ordo Calixis]]. The [[Inquisitor Lord]] [[Khazul]] once used the world to test the mettle of his then [[Acolyte]], [[Inquisitor Lord]] [[Presumptive Okonawk|Okonawk]], leading to the deaths of Okonawk's entire Cadre and more than a hundred thousand Acreage civilians as well as Khazul by Okonawk's own hand. The world saw further devastation when the [[rogue psyker]], '''The Burning Princess''', worked in conjunction with the pirate vessel ''Storm Walker'' to consume the planet's Cathedral Mount in a holocaust of fire, slaying several senior clergymen and over ten thousand other pilgrims and citizens. Acreage has also been the last few yearssite of a secret war between the [[Amalathian]] and [[Recongregator]] factions of the Inquisition for generations, with the Amalathian's attempting to preserve Acreage's current isolationism, technology and royal dynasty while the Recongregators secretly attempt to introduce new ideas, practices and off-world technology.{{Fn|5a}}{{Fn|5b}}{{Fn|6}} The relative stability of this realmAscandia, and in fact most of Acreage, has been rent apart by a bloody civil war. , '''The High King died without naming an heir, leaving his surviving children to bicker and fight amongst themselves for War of the titleRhozes''', in a war in which thousands have already perished and local technology has backslid receded from its high medieval zenith.

Acreage boasts a strong military culture, leading to regular tithes of men to the [[Imperial Guard]] and several unique patterns of weapons and armour. This includes [[Lightning Chains]] and [[Lightning Gauntlets]], weapons that take advantage of a unique alloy found only on Acreage, which stores kinetic energy and discharges it in the form of blue, electrical sparks when swung with sufficient force. These, along with more common medieval and black powder weapons make up the majority of weaponry on Acreage, though some off-worlders and more elite guardsmen, like Olrankan's Plumes have access to better solid projectiles and flak armour.{{Fn|3a}} Acreage styles of armour tends be primitive.
