Prospero was homeworld of Magnus the Red and his legion, the Thousand Sons.

It was a desolate, dark planet and was chosen by its inhabitants because of its distance from Terra. Mutants and Psykers lived in reclusion and study, and Magnus fit in well with this group due to his incredible psychic potential.

In the end, the only good thing about Prospero was its backwaterness and was easy to hide on. It had one major city, the City of Light, a gleaming city of white marble, with spires reaching into the sky. It was situated on the most central of the many mountains of the planet. It was nourished by underground hydroponics and techno-psychic collectible arrays providing sustainable energy. All the towers were gleaming and there were soaring obelisks and towering pyramids.

When Magnus arrived, he crashed into the central plaza of the city. The city was very vulnerable from attack from above, but no one seemed to notice until Leman Russ came and bombarded the planet. He attacked the planet with devastating results, slaughtering all he could find. In the end, Magnus cast spells that took all of the great city, his marines, and his precious libraries to a new homeworld, the Planet of Sorcerers.2
