'''Coheria''' is a crystal moon of [[Port Demesnus]] and covered in white sands of mildly psychoactive precious stone, blanketing the world like snowdrifts.{{Fn|5a}}
==Forbidden Ritual==
The Farseer intended to seize control of the moon in order to commit a forbidden ritual capable of awakening [[Ynnead|a slumbering god]]{{Fn|2}} and dealing a death blow to [[Slaanesh]].{{Fn|4b}} The ritual had planned to use the [[crystal seers]]{{Fn|5c}} stolen by the [[Masque of the Midnight Sorrow]] from various craftworlds,{{Fn|5b}}{{Fn|5d}} to be use as conduits to channel the souls from their craftworlds' [[infinity circuit]]s into the psychocrystal sands of Coheria. Thus, every innumerable grain of sand on the crystal moon would act as a [[waystone]] for a spirit. This would create a psychic beacon bright enough to stir a nascent god, awakening the slumbering Ynnead, bringing about His apotheosis.{{Fn|5c}}
==Battle of Port Demesnus==
The World was the site of a battle between the [[Harlequin]]s of the [[Masque of the Midnight Sorrow]] led by [[Farseer]] [[Eldrad Ulthran]] and [[Space Marines]] of the [[Deathwatch]] led by [[Watch Captain]] [[Artemis]].{{Fn|1a}}{{Fn|1b}}
==History==
Coheria had once been at the edges of the ancient [[Aeldari Empire]]. The psychic shock-wave that doomed the Aeldari empire reached the cusp of Coheria, depositing the psychoactive crystal sands blanketing the landscape.{{Fn|5a}} The cystal moon of Coheria was rediscovered by [[Pathfinder]]s of [[Alaitoc]], led by [[Illic Nightspear]], while braving a shattered spar of the [[webway]]. Eldrad Ulthran upon Craftworld Ulthwe was the first to learn of this. Eldrad sequestered Illic upon his arrival and was persuaded to impart his news and then leave without a trace. Learning of this world and its psychocrystal sands was a great revelation and he began the preparations for a dangerous plan. Part of this involved projecting his conciousness into the webway, lending the aid of his spirit to the Misnight Sorrow's defence of the [[Black Library]], and enlisting the help of [[Inriam's Spectre]].{{Fn|5c}}
