Horestis is a former Daemon World of Nurgle.[1]

Horestis was a Daemon World given wholly over to the power of Nurgle, when Chaplain Vorxec Calvarius of the Silver Skulls led a demi-company of his brothers to its surface. There the Space Marines brought fire to the world and cleansed a great many of Horestis' corrupted sites. But with each victory more Silver Skulls fell, until only Vorxec remained. When the Chaplain found himself surrounded by a horde of Nurgle's servants, he called for an Exterminatus, from the Imperial Navy in orbit. However, instead of receiving purifying flames, the Navy sent a Virus Bomb. Prognosticator Vorxec Calvarius turned traitor after surviving the Virus Bomb and enduring 49 days of agony, and he converted to the Plague God and now leads a force of traitors that plunders the stars.[1]
