Baal Secundus
From Lexicanum
Baal Secundus is one of the twin moons which orbit Baal. It is the world on which Sanguinius fell and is badly irradiated, killing anyone unprotected in seconds. The Blood, who found Sanguinius, took him in because he was so perfectly formed even when subjected to the immense radiation of the world's deserts.
The moon is highly irradiated due to tremendous weaponry being used during the Dark Age of Technology, including viral and nuclear devices.
Flora and Fauna
The world has Baalite Fire Scorpions, huge creatures twice the height of a man, which carry virulent poisons which can burn through flesh in a second. It also was home to a huge population of mutants, which were all killed by Sanguinius and a host of non-mutated men. Thurstwater absorbs all the water from anything it comes into contact with faster than they can escape.
Geography
- Seraph - mountain in which a natural amphitheatre had been carved.
- Angels Fall - the cliff at which Sanguinius was found and subsequent trials are performed for joining the Blood Angels.
