==Geography==
Unusually for [[agri-world]]s, '''Masali''' and its sister planets were originally covered in rocky desert terraincontinents. Crops were typically grown within massive agri-domesfortresses, massive domed complexes of combining farms and cities in their own rights , with habitation and other facilities for the population.{{Fn|6}} The agri-fortresses included the capital city of [[Cadropolis]], and [[Diomedes]].{{Fn|6}}
During calamity of the [[Noctis Aeterna]], '''Masali''' was slightly displaced from its orbital track due to empyric forces. This resulted in huge storms that destroyed much of the planet's civilisation, leading to an evacuation of the surviving population.{{Fn|6}}
In the wake of the gravitic upheaval, '''Masali''' was left strangely fertile. As the evacuated populace returned, it became apparent that the crops miraculously somehow spread from out of the ruined agri-domes and covered the entire surface of the planet. '''Masali''' soon became an even larger exporter of foodstuffs to [[Ultramar]] than before.{{Fn|6}}
However, a crop disease caused by [[Nurgle]] spread from the northern pole, rapidly aging crops until they became rotten, bursting into clouds of flies. Eventually, these flies formed a vortex portal into the [[warp]], beginning a [[Death Guard]] invasion on the planet.{{Fn|6}}
