→History
Largely forgotten after its industrial output fell (partly due to depleting resources), Sarastus became a [[Heretic Astartes Recruiting World|recruiting world]] for a [[Night Lords]] warband led by [[Chaos Lord|Lord]] [[Vassaago]]. The [[Chaos Space Marine]]s subjugated the populace, massacring millions of the inhabitants until the remainder lived in silent fear in the lowest reaches of the planet's [[hive]]s.{{Fn|1}}
Potential recruits for the Night Lords were identified by their chosen servants on Sarastus, known as the [[Prophets of True Night]]. These [[aspirant]]s, known as "ghouls", were then cast into the abandoned upper reaches of each hive. The ghouls, all under the age of thirteen, were generally members of various [[gang]]s that had been allowed to fester in the [[underhive]]s; they would fight to survive until [[True Night}}]], a time of choosing heralded by the song of the [[Black Sun]], at which point they would make their way to the uppermost [[Hive Spire|spire]].{{Fn|1}}
