Overview
San Guisaga is the homeworld of the Blood Drinkers Chapter[1]. With two suns (Krov A, emitting red light, and Krov B, a white dwarf), its moon (Haemos) and as warm as blood, it is a volcanic world criss-crossed with lava rivers. The planet is prone to earthquakes and volcanic eruptions - so much so that the surface is remade every ten thousand years.[2b]
Fauna
Astrogais are the main threat on San Guisiga. Infesting the mountain’s crags, they are beaked and winged animals with pinions and dexterions growing from their chests. [2a] Astrogais are curious creatures whose origins and means of reproduction are unknown but, thanks to ruins on Haemos, it is hinted that they might be the devolved remnants of civilised Xenos species, but that was hotly disputed by the Chapter and Adeptus Mechanicus xenologians both.[2b]
The youngest among the Astrogais can speak, though they lose this ability with time.[2c]
Known Locations
Mount Calicium - A volcano on San Guisiga. Where Brother-Saint Holos climbed to fight the Astrogai Lo-Tan, returning with the Blood Drinker’s salvation after a deal with an Angel. It is a location heavily featured in art the Blood Drinkers produce, as well as being found in iconography held where the Chapter carries out their Rites.[2a]
