River of Exiles

Resting to the Galactic North of the Dead World of Formund lies the vile Warp Storm known as the River of Exiles. Shrouding an entire Sector's worth of star systems, this lost and damned hollow of stars is a place of intense corruption and madness. Since the days of the Great Crusade this seething scar in reality has blighted the stars of the Exile Sector, seeding them with the likes of foul daemons and traitors. It is a place in constant flux between the material realm and that of the empyrean, where stars long dead suddenly blast back into life and the laws of physics only loosely apply. A place where Daemons and Warpspawn walk freely amongst both wrenched xenos monsters and depraved human barbarians. It is host to thousands of blighted worlds, homes to daemons and mutant hordes. Damned kingdoms rise and fall, and wage endless war amongst the stars. None but the lost and damned dare set foot in the River of Exiles, those hunted and hated by so many that only this disastrous realm would deter any would be hunters.

But it is here that the mighty Storm Draugar reign supreme with only the Everchosen to truly oppose them. These bastard traitors of traitors and madmen cast out by madmen constantly battle for supremacy when they are not crusading across the galaxy, spreading doom and destruction wherever they march. The Blackspawn brothers may not hold dominion over every single world, but they most certainly exercise a vast amount of influence as the single largest Chaos Space Marine Warband within the River of Exiles. However, there are many, many others, from the Lords of Annihilation to the Kingdom of Shaphur, the River of Exiles is home to only the most ruthless and vicious amongst the Lost and Damned.
