Hell Forge
Hell Forges are fallen Forge Worlds and the domain of the Dark Mechanicus. Many of these worlds were once loyal Forge Worlds of the Martian Mechanicum, but have since slipped into worship of the Ruinous Powers.[1]
Though their origins lay with the original followers of Kelbor-Hal who sided with Horus during the Horus Heresy[3], many other Mechanicum Forge Worlds have since fallen into corruption.[1] Infernal polluted landscapes, Hell Forges are rife with all kinds of foul Warp Creatures as well as the site of large amounts of Human and Mutant slaves.[2] With many existing within the Eye of Terror or other similar Warp anomalies, these worlds are ruled over by corrupted Magi of the Dark Mechanicum who make pacts with Daemonic entities to develop hellish technologies and churn out weaponry and Daemon Engines for Chaos Space Marines. Hell Forges are also frequent bases of the Traitor Titan Legions.
