==Overview==
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 [[Imperial citizen|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 (Ship)|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 site of a secret war between the [[Amalathian]] and [[Recongregator]] factions of the Inquisition for generations, with the Amalathians 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}}
==Culture==
Acreage operates under a feudal system, where a High King or High Queen rules over scores of lesser kings, queens and princes who in turn rule over hundreds of thousands of people and cultures. The High King's priests teach a version of the [[Imperial Cult]] that refers to the [[Emperor]] is the “King of the Sky”. Workers in the sky-mills are expected to keep their eyes averted from the heavens when they work so high above the ground, lest they anger the Emperor with their impudence. Similarly, villages often make “candle-balloons” as votive prayer offerings.{{Fn|2a}}{{Fn|3d}}
[[Saint Drusus]] is rumoured to have led a charge with the [[Dirt Knights of Yorth]] against the [[Twisted Kings]], mutant rulers of Acreage who commanded hulking armies of brutes.{{Fn|7}}
