==History==
Dolumar IV was colonized by the [[Imperium]] with a small colony during the [[Age of Apostasy]], but would soon loose lose contact with the colony, leaving the world a forgotten backwater. This would change sometime later, when a vast Chaos warhost darkened the world's sky and landed on Dolumar IV, after having destroyed numerous worlds across the [[Eastern Fringes]] of the [[Ultima Segmentum]]. The warhost destroyed the entire defenseless colony in minutes and began building a large temple dedicated to the [[Ruinous Powers]]. When it was completed, the warhost gathered there and summoned the [[Lord of Change]] [[Tarkh'ax]], who would begin to lead them on a new [[Black Crusade]] to strike at Holy [[Terra]]. It would be all for naught however, as after the summoning an [[Eldar]] strikeforce, led by [[Farseer]] [[Jur Telissa]], suddenly attacked and sealed the warhost in a prison; located in a cut off path of the [[Webway]].{{Fn|1c}}
Tarkh'ax and the warhost remained imprisoned for millennia, during which time Dolumar IV was recolonized and would eventually become an Industrial World, until [[Magos]] [[Explorator]] [[Carneg]] found the temple's location while conducting a survey on the world. Carneg brought news of the temple's discovery to Dolumar IV's [[Planetary Governor]], [[Meyloch Severus]], who visited the temple{{Fn|1c}} and soon became enthralled by Tarkh'ax; who whispered into his mind and filled Severus with visions of the power he could gain from the [[Daemon]], if it was freed from its prison.{{Fn|1d}} Shortly afterward, Severus began Dolumar IV's path to damnation by having Carneg killed, to keep the temple's discovery a secret and began his decades long quest to free Tarkh'ax. This culminated with Severus having the [[Ethereal]] [[Ko'vash]] captured from the nearby [[Tau]] [[Sept World]] [[Kuu'lan]], which brought the [[Tau Empire]] into conflict with the [[Imperium]]. The ensuing battle between the Imperium's forces on Dolumar IV, the [[Battlefleet Ultima Primus]] and the Tau forces sent to rescue Ko'vash provided Severus with the necessary spilled blood and lost lives he needed to free the warhost.{{Fn|1c}}
