By Warren Beattie Astayan - The southern continent of Belial IV.  It now consists of wide ash plains, volcanoes and ancient ruined cities. Belial IV - Over 10 millennia ago, this was a prosperous eldar world.  However, just before the fall of the eldar, it had given rise to one of the most decadent of their societies.  It was here that Shaha Gaathon initiated the birth of Slaanesh, and where the deathblade was crafted by a handful of uncorrupted farseers who hoped to destroy the infant god. Now, Belial IV is a dead world, covered in vast deserts, claimed by the edges of the Eye of Terror. Crowe's Town - A major settlement of Crowe's World, and the place where the young Janus Darke successfully rallied the population against an Ork invasion. Crowe's World - Birthworld of Janus Darke and Kham Bell. Hark Spire - One of the hive-spires of the planet Medusa.  Hark spire is where the Palace of Pleasure and the Medusa Freeport are situated. Medusa - A polluted hiveworld, located close to the Eye of Terror.  It is swathed in brown sludge-seas and green smog. Medusa Freeport - Part of Hark spire.  This is where most spacers come to indulge their vices. Medusa Spaceport - A huge array of spokes and weapons platforms in orbit above Medusa.  The main docking area of the hiveworld. Palace of Pleasure - A bar in Medusa Freeport, owned by Justina.  The establishment's atmosphere and semi-clad employees definitely show the Slaaneshi influences of the proprietor. Pride of Sin - Once Zarghan Ironfist's flagship - now his only remaining ship thanks to an encounter with Kharn the Betrayer.  It was badly damaged above Belial IV in a battle with the Star of Venam. Star of Venam - Janus Darke's last remaining ship.  It was impounded at Medusa Spaceport before its debts were paid and it was hired for a voyage to Belial IV. Temple-Palace of Asuryan - Based in the ruined city of Zytheraa, on Belial IV. This was where eldar priests of old forged the deathblade in response to the imminent birth of Slaanesh, and where they made their last stand against the infant god.  The last priest sealed himself away in the ultimate sanctuary, taking the deathblade with him. This is also the place where Auric Stormcloud planned to journey to, in an attempt to retrieve the deathblade. Typhon - A dead world close to the Eye of Terror.  Darke came here to find a rumoured Standard Template Construct, after deciphering a garbled navigator log found on an old Ork hulk. He decided to ignore the warnings in the tome, and it led to his undoing.  A terrible catastrophe occurred on that world, decimating Darke's crew and hired mercenaries.  The event also triggered Darke's latent psyker abilities, and attracted the attentions of Shaha Gaathon. Winterhome IX - The location of one of Darke's greatest triumphs as a Rogue Trader and military leader. Zytheraa - Once the most populous city on Belial IV, now just a ruin of shattered crystalline wraithbone.  This is where the temple Palace of Asuryan can be found.
