History
In M41, Orks attacked Crowe's World. The corrupt Planetary Governor attempted to flee, taking with him a chest containing all the revenues of the treasury, but died when his aircar crashed in the planet's jungle. The Planetary Militia's officers were killed, so Janus Darke rallied the troops, and then led the defence during the Siege of Crowe's Town that followed, until the Blood Angels arrived and broke the siege.[1b]
Description
Crowe's World has a steaming jungle,[1b] and peat-swamps that look stable under your feet, but turn out to have the consistency of jelly, and paths that shift in the slow swirl of currents.[1c] Hunters staked out Goats on the edge of swamps where Dragons lived, hoping to lure them onto killing ground.[1d]
Its inhabitants spoke with a distinctive twang.[1a]

Notes
- There might be a connection between Crowe's World and the planet Crows World in The Pale Stars of Ultima Segmentum. However, Crows World is close to The Maelstrom, while Crowe's World native Janus Darke said that the planet he grew up on had a night sky unaffected by Warp Storms.[1b]
