*'''[[Tizca]]''' — Once the capital city of [[Prospero]], Tizca has since been transported to Sortiarius. The majestic spires of the city have now been replaced by disfigured obelisks, its mighty pyramids given way to mounds of crystalline earth-matter, and its pillars mutated into metamorphic towers. Inside of the city is the domain of the Thousand Sons and their libraries of sinister arcane lore.{{Fn|6a}}
**The '''Tower of the Cyclops''' — Dwarfing all other towers is Magnus's own, an obsidian monolith called the Tower of the Cyclops or Obsidian Tower{{Fn|5}}. As well as being staffed by thousands of servants and troops, Magnus's tower also possesses a sorcerous, great, glowing eye. The Eye of the Tower watches over the planet, its gaze also penetrating through the warp into the material galaxy. This allows Magnus to sense the arcane artefacts and gifted [[psykers]] which fascinate him, so that he can despatch dispatch his Thousand Sons to raid the [[Imperium]].{{Fn|1}}*'''Corrupted ManufactorumsManufactora''' — Through pacts with the [[Dark Mechanicum]] or by pillaging other [[Forge World]]s, the Thousand Sons maintain a substantial complex of armouries on Sortiarius. These churn out all war equipment the Legion should need as well as [[Daemon Engine]]s. The [[Rubicae]] are prepped for war at these armouries.{{Fn|6a}}*'''Spawnpit''' - A sanity-warping and ever-changing tangle of tunnels and caverns, it is into this nightmarish labyrinth that the Thousand Sons cast those who have succumbed to the [[Flesh Change]]. The Thousand Sons also draw their supply of [[Chaos Spawn]]s from its caverns.{{Fn|10a}}
*'''Abyssal Maw''' - Site of [[Daemon Engine]] and armored vehicle manufacture.{{Fn|10b}}
*'''Spire of Glass''' - Living crystal space dock.{{Fn|10b}}
*'''Obelisks of Ruin''' - Defensive structures. Though each is different in form and precise function, these empyrogeometrical constructs are said to know the weaknesses of any enemy who approaches, exploiting it with blasts of arcane sorcery.{{Fn|10b}}
*'''Nomad Peaks'''{{Fn|10b}}
*'''Caverns of Transmogrification'''{{Fn|10b}}
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 [[Beastmenbeastmen]], [[Chaos Spawnchaos spawn]], enormous monstrosities , and other fell creatures stalk the wastelands of Sortiarius.{{Fn|6a}}
