Overview
Argentum is a Feudal/Jungle World Located in Segmentum Pacificus near the Veiled region and is the Homeworld of the Silver Knights Chapter.

Geography
Argentum's geography is much like to Earth but for some aspects are different, as a Jungle world also, Argentum houses many known trees that are ancient and especially gigantic both in height and width. Though vast plain lands are present as well vast water bodies and great mountain ranges.

Flora and Fauna
Argentum has a vast number of both flora and fauna and most are docile in nature rather than predatory. Docile animals such as the Argentumian Curiaos a gigantic mammal, is often kept and trained by locals as a means of both transport and defense in travelling the jungles of Argentum and the Vserio a type of flying creature that resembles a hawk that are kept as pets and the Sliveri a fast and horse sized carnivore who is used both as a hunting companion and transportation as well as a notable pet to most nobles.

It is noted though that almost all predatory animals in Argentum are pack hunters and is quite intelligent, while a few comprimises the lone gargantuan hunters of their wilds. Notable of these creatures are the Argentumian Black Wolves which is famous in Argentian Folklores as well as its bloody wakes of destruction, Sierrieas a type of avian predator whose looks are of an eagle and size is comparable to a thunderhawk with feathers as thick as plasticrete, and the notorious Silver Rexius a giant land dwelling predator whose jaws bite power and diamond shredded teeth could penetrate a Rhino's Armored interior.

History
Argentum was discovered by the Imperium in an unknown year, but it is recorded that the world is at a state of war at that time and in their return around four thousand of years the war was still going on but now it was not against fellow humans but rather an invading Ork force and it was now known that the planet actually held out with swords and shields only in their arsenal for almost two years, this invading force was stopped and decimated however as the imperial authorities took over and sent regiments of imperial guards and space marine forces to fight the green tide and a time of relative peace was achieved in the planet.

Time passed again and the world was plunged into a planetary wide war yet again, but the planetary governor at that time and as the rest of them that took over didn't pay heed to any of the worlds problem as long as their tithes were met and they themselves are secured above orbit, they even promoted it as a training ground for potential PDF's to be recruited from. This all then changed as the Imperium charged the world to the Fleet Based Silver Knights Chapters care. And in their arrival, All the King's of the planet was then called to be met by the Chapter Master in the meeting on the worlds well known plain lands known to the natives as Sacrifice Plain upon the Chapters arrival. There, Seventeen Kings present themselves all disturbed and some even angry, for the world was engulfed in a bitter long war between these men, a war both tolled billions already and is still adding the body count until the chapter ships arrived to stop the battle. millions of citizens were also present from peasants to nobles all were welcomed to the meeting for the chapter master deemed that all must know and see what will happen there.

Upon the chapter master's arrival almost all men, women and children present were awed and bowed but this was not permitted by the chapter master and asked them to rise for he is not the lord of the world, the lord of the people and so shall not bow in respect to him, all those who had, reluctantly stood and watched as the great warrior strode towards their respective kings, The chapter master gestured all to listen and asked for the kings to sit and to commence the talks and meetings. For nine long hours the talks began, from voices of kings that rang as loud as thunder in the sky to voices of others who spoke as mild as the wind, all expressed their griefs, concerns and feelings. And after they were done the chapter master stood and said in a voice filled with conviction, that he had come into a decision, he had the intention at first to just left the worlds men for themselves and just have the best warriors present to be recruited with but with almost all of the kings showed little care to life on the planet and edging to chaos touched minds who know only to bring death and destruction. The chapter master then declared himself the Lord of the planet and all shall heed or die. With such announcement almost all the kings and their retinues drew their swords and attacked the Chapter Master which was then met with their bloody ends as synchronized bolter fire rang to the air. The Kings who had died then and there were announced as heretics and all their males in the families, blood ties, allies and servants are then subject to service to the chapter and adeptus mechanicus and women to ecclesiarchy to know their places. The three kings who just sat on their tables and accepted the chapter was then appointed by the Chapter Master to be the worlds only acknowledged nobles and should they wage war again to each other without proper reason they shall met with the same end of the Fourteen who are foolish to defy the Astartes.

Days later the Chapter then began the construction of their Chapter Monastery, named Spero, in the center of the great lake of the world known as the White Water Lake. the chapter also utilized the planets moon Platinum as a space port and have a chapter keep positioned there. Argentum was then reformed from that day on from being one of the most unstable world in the Segmentum to the renowned planet today, recognized as one of the heaviest defended and stable planet in Segmentum Pacificus as well as having the most highly trained and battle hardened human warriors present due to both feral Ork contribution and training on the standard of an astartes chapter master accepts.
