Changes

Only a handful of areas were ever cleared by the first colonists, and these had to be constantly maintained against the assault of the fast-growing flora. When the [[Severan Dominate]] established itself, the few [[human ]] inhabitants of Aeyras were indifferent, eking out their miserable lives in their small, walled towns, with a constant suspicious eye on the nearby, looming jungle trees.{{Fn|1}}

Only when the [[Imperium]] arrived and began hunting down those loyal to the traitor [[Severus XIII|Severus]] did Aeyras become important, a place to hide for those fleeing Imperial justice, even if it meant entering the perilous green hell. Then the [[Ork]]s came, and what few human settlements that survived on Aeyras were put to the torch, their inhabitants killed or fleeing into the jungle.{{Fn|1}}

The largest and most infamous feature of Aeyras, the Teeming is a vast jungle-filled crater formed by an ancient [[asteroid ]] impact. Over time, the crater became overgrown with a tangled mass of hostile vegetation and predatory fauna. Colonists avoided it, but the Orks quickly recognised it as an ideal fortress. Today, the Teeming serves as a central Ork stronghold, shielded by dense canopy and subterranean tunnels. No human has ever entered and returned alive, leading to endless Imperial speculation about what lies within.{{Fn|1b}}
