Overview
Adrastapol was once home to six Knight Houses, each paying tribute to one of the Noble Beasts of Adrastapol.[3a] However, three of those houses were purged[3b] after they fell to Chaos (House Manticos at an unknown time prior to the events on Donatos[2c], and House Chimaeros and House Wyvorn during the Betrayal on Donatos[2b]).
It has been invaded twice by Orks. These invasions came to be known as the Ork Wars.[1]
