Overview
Psygonsis is located in the edge of the Uhulis Sector of Segmentum Tempestus it is a Officially a Garden World and home world of The Scribes of Psygnosis. It is also a key point for trade in the sector leading to it being a port of choice for Various Rouge Trader bands. Although it is officially a garden world much of the world is uninhabitable 80% of the surface is covered in ocean. There is a single continent known as Quern where only the coastal regions are habitable. Quern is surrounded by an archipelago of thousands of islands. The inland area of Quren in dominated by a wide stretching desert given different names dependent on the city states. The tech level of the world is about that of Pre-Atomic Earth and many different cultures and beliefs and aesthetics developed on the planet before being brought back into the Imperial fold which still prevail to this day.

Geography
Psygnosis is dominated by a great ocean with the single continent of Quern being the main land mass. Quern itself is surrounded by an archipelago of thousands of islands formed by fluvial erosion from the mainland and by volcanic hotspots nearer the equatorial regions. The twin moons exert strong tidal forces leading to periods of high costal erosion and times of greater deposit. These forces have led to the coastline changing rapidly geologically speaking. The coastline and islands are the only truly habitable areas being lush and green with fields and wondrous managed woodlands. Further in-land the wilder woodland and jungles are dominant as they grow on the outward face of the barrier mountains the area within the mountain ring is a long unforgiving desert with sands ranging from greys to deep reds and greens depending on the regions and wildly varying climates from temperatures from -23OC to 59OC The wind that blow through this desert has carved many strange and outlandish rock formations and makes most inter atmospheric air travel impossible.
