Horvar III is an Imperial world that was the site of a major Daemonic incursion.[1]

History

In 453.M40, the public execution of 666 heretics on Horvar III had terrible consequences. Through the pageantry and extravagance of the event, the nearsighted planetary governor unwittingly completed an ancient daemonic ritual. As the last heretic died with a curse upon his lips, the circle of sorcery was complete and a gateway to the Warp was opened.[1]

The Chaos well yawned wide and Daemons spilt out, gibbering, howling and spitting lurid fire into the mass of terrified citizens. In a matter of hours, Horvar III was turned into a daemonic playground of madness and death. The unfortunate planetary governor was possessed by the Slaaneshi Daemon Prince Laesydra and the Golden Host was released upon the world.[1]

The Grey Knights arrived in force to discover Laesydra hosting blood games with the surviving citizens, the Daemon forcing them to commit unspeakable acts of violence against each other or be hurled into the Warp-well. Turning its attention to this new foe, Laesydra crafted a series of tests for the Space Marines, shaping tangled labyrinths of living, screaming flesh around them and sending Seekers of Slaanesh to hunt them down. The hunters soon become the hunted, however, and the Grey Knights fought their way to the Warp-well where the Daemon Prince was holding court over the mutilated remains of Horvar's citizens, wearing the skin of their governor. At the cost of the lives of a score of Grey Knights the Daemon was cast back into the Warp. Before the battle-brothers departed they piled the citizens’ tortured bodies onto of the corpses of the executed heretics, sealing the Warp-well with the blood of innocents.[1]
