History
During the War for the Tri-Forge Cluster, the Death Guard began converting the world to their needs even as battles waged with the Imperial Guard and Sisters of Battle.[2] The Carrion Brotherhood sowed great swathes of the world's landscapes with hundreds upon hundreds of Miasmic Malignifiers.[1][2] These plague furnaces corrupted the ground while the Dark Mechanicus Tech-Priests of the Seven-spoked Ruincog took over factories seized by the Death Guard. In the Therennan Desert, numerous vectoriums attacked the many thousands of Promethium drill sites. The barren land was soon shrouded in immense clouds of flog due to the drill wells being set ablaze. Tzeentch Psykers attempted to manipulate the fires and cast them into the ranks of the Traitor Guard allied with the Death Guard. Through it all, the Heretic Astartes restored every ruined drill site they captured.[2]
At the large freshwater lake that filled an ancient crater known as The Sludge, the Death Guard spread plagues that mutated the feral wildlife. These beasts became monstrous beyond imagination, threatening both Chaos and Imperial forces. The Poxherders took sick delight in culling the species while experimenting on others which were then used against Thrios' Hive Beranthis. The Hive was dissolved from the inside out and was reduced to a primordial soup by the Foul Blightspawn and Biologus Putrifiers' creations. Many of Thrios' citizens tried to escape but, despite an evacuation attempt by Imperial authorities, Nurgle Cultists blocked their efforts. In one clash, an entire regiment of Thrios Steambelchers Leman Russ Battle Tanks escorted a huge convoy rushing to a spaceport for evacuation. A traitorous Cadian force that now worshipped Nurgle launched countless hit-and-run attacks over the course of several days. Each time, they inflicted losses, and each time, they were able to spread more contagions throughout the column. By the time the Imperial convoy reached the spaceport, most of the survivors were too diseased to move, and all were dead in a matter of days.[2]
