'''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]].
==History==
The [[Stormseer]]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}}
Chogoris does have some small cities and spaceports, but the majority of the world is unspoiled lush green grasslands. The White Scars are very careful to maintain Chogoris' natural state and forbid any widespread industry or urbanization. As beautiful as the world is, it is equally cruel and known for its harsh winters and baking hot summers. The population lives in constant peril of not only its fierce storms but also flying beasts and flash flooding from its rivers.{{Fn|8}}
===Notable Locations===
*'''Altak''' - Also known as the '''Plains of Zhou'''. A massive blue-green grassland that covers half the planet and is home to the majority of the population. Over these race the four dragon winds: ''Kur'' of the west, ''Huanglak'' of the north, ''Erlig-kul'' of the east, and ''Tienak''. of the south.{{Fn|8}}
*[[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}}
==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}}
