Keld'abe

The planetoid known as Keld’abe is an ash-choked moon orbiting a Gas Giant nearly the size of Jupiter. Keld’abe’s orbit is highly unstable, causing massive tectonic instability. Also its proximity to the warp storm known as The Maelstrom caused an unusually large portion of the population to be born with psychic powers, and warp corrupted mutant beasts ran rampant upon its surface.

The pure humans upon the planet formed tight-knit clans, known as an Aliit out of necessity, and out of fear of being destroyed by corrupted beasts or rogue psyker covens. These Aliite are usually nomadic, tending herds of reptilian labour-beasts called Bes’ilisks. These Bes’ilisks function like the equines of ancient steppe cultures, by providing protection and transport while alive, and once they die, their carcasses provide food and pelts to the Aliit.

History
When the pod carrying the being that will become known as The Ash-Blooded fell to the surface of Keld’abe, it fell during the seasonal migration festival of the Rang Clan. Upon discovering that the pod contained an infant, the Aliit’alor of the Clan adopted this child as his own.
