Tessagamil

Tessagamil is a star system in the western parts of the Iox sector. Its only planet, Tessagamil I, was originally colonised during later part Dark Age of Technology but became isolated from other human colonies during the long millennias of the Old Night.

Tessagamil's population was long ruled by clans of divination, each representing their own respective view of the proper way to acquire prophecies. When the Emperor of Mankind launched his Great Crusade, people of Tessagamil already knew of this and waited their new lords humbly. Planet, and its population, took a major blow during the Horus Heresy and the planet was finally revered as a Shrine World of a sort and later as a Cemetery World.
