'''Acreage''' is an [[Imperial]] [[Feudal World]].{{Fn|1}} An Imperial backwater, Acreage lies in the sub-sector of [[Josian Reach]] and is connected to the rest of the [[Calixis Sector]] by a few tenuous shipping routes. Its [[tithe]]s mainly consist of ore from its mines and men for the [[Imperial Guard]]. Designated as a [[Feudal World]], Acreage's technology is medieval and its population consists largely of degenerate peasants and bickering nobles. '''The Grand Realm of Ascandia''', the High King's realm, spans the majority of the northern landmass.{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|2a}}{{Fn|3a}}

'''Acreage''' is an [[Imperial]] [[Feudal World]].{{Fn|1}}
==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}}
==Geography==
The north of Acreage, referred to as [[Ascadia]], is the domain of Arcreage's '''High King'''. It consists of thousands of miles of of dark icy forests, rugged mountains and lonely plains, spotted with small villages, gruel fields and sky-mills. Minimal air traffic occupies the skies, as the majority of the planet is a no fly zone. The city of [[Olrankan]], also known as 'the Floating City', sprawls along a section of the realm's southern coast, at a junction between the Sea of Sorrows and the Chitin Swamps. Elevated out of the swamp by countless rotting posts, the city has profited greatly from its close proximity to the Emperor's Island, one of the planet's few spaceports.{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|2a}}{{Fn|2b}}{{Fn|2g}}
Emperor's Island is a small offshore island, described as a monolithic mess of mingled structures and twisted architecture, with a vast central area being converted into a landing zone. The island hosts a selection of low-income housing, retail areas, gambling dens and fighting pits, referred to as 'The Bilges', which cater to travellers and salvagers. The centre of the island is dominated by a large tower, used to coordinate [[Vox]] transmissions and monitor the spaceport, while a selection of rickety docks located at the island's underbelly connects it by boat to the mainland.{{Fn|2b}}{{Fn|2f}}{{Fn|2g}}
