Iniquity is a Chaos-controlled planet in the [Koronus Expanse], located in the Dioskouri System.[1a] The multiple stars that shine on Iniquity are dying, and the planet has been utterly corrupted by Chaos unleashed from early attempts at mining.[1a] The planet’s surrounding orbits are difficult to navigate, as they containi everything from massive gravity tides, molten meteors, and the dead cores of gas giants.[1a]

Iniquity has long-since been mined through from surface to core, with unending kilometers of tunnels going back to the dawn of human spaceflight. [1b] It exists as a corrupted center of trade and shipbuilding in the Koronus Expanse, and contains hive-like structures housing untold millions of corrupted or doomed souls.[1b][1f]

The planet has a single continent that stretches all the way around the equator, with an ocean occupying both the North and South poles.[1b]

Karrad Vall is the most powerful warlord on the planet, and is working to bring all the other Chaos forces in the system under his control.[1a]

Locations

Reaver Shipyards

The shipyards orbit above the planet and are built with scrap, haphazard construction, and salvaged ships.[1c] They are well defended and offer all the services expected of a large shipyard but are operated by a loose coalition of pirates, petty kings, and gangs that makes commerce dangerous at best and deadly at worst.[1c]

Skaarsdelve

The largest city on the planet and has grown into something resembling a decrepit hive.[1c] It manufactures the items needed for the Citadel of Skulls as well as the wider Reiver economy of the Koronus Expanse.[1c]

Spaceport

Located at the center of Skaarsdelve, it can land hundreds of shuttles at a time.[1c]

Citadel of Skulls

Karrad Vall’s home and fortress on Iniquity.[1c] It is two kilometers tall, made from iridescent black stone, and built into the side and heart of a mountain far to the South of Skaarsdelve.[1c] Some of the best rooms in the entire fortress are dedicated to Sorcerers of Slannesh, but the rest is a grim warren of slaves.[1c]

Karrad Vall built his private sanctum on the tallest spire of the fortress, and are said to rival the finest spires in Scintilla in their elegance and finery.[1c] Deep underground he maintains a vault of secrets, heretical works, xenos artifacts, and Dark Age technology.[1d]

The Citadel also hosts an imitation of the Astronomicon powered by sacrificial slaves and psykers for the use of Reavers in the Koronus Expanse.[1d]

Slave Habs

A separate sub-city outside Skaarsdelve controlled by gangs and tribes fighting for food and work.[1d]

Manufactoria

Located between the Slave Habs and the Spaceport the Manufactoria builds everything needed by the Reavers. It is overseen by Hereteks and the Dark Mechanicus. The heads of many mines also reach the surface of Iniquity here, providing the raw materials needed for industry.[1e]

The Bazaar

Dangerous, busy, and full of any and everything someone could desire.[1e]
