Idumea

Idumea is a minor forge world in the Hazeroth Abyss in the Calixis Sector. Long disadvantaged by its location on the edge of the Hazeroth Abyss and lack of strategic importance, the Forge Masters of Idumea have for centuries considered themselves to be sidelined and undermined by the central authorities of the Lathe system, a disaffection the Phaenonites were quick to exploit. Much of Idumea’s upper echelons were hopelessly entrapped by the Phaenonite conspiracy, corrupted by the offer of forbidden lore and coerced through a concentrated program of targeted murders and sabotage. The Forge World itself now houses numerous secret facilities for the faction, as well as serving to provide a steady supply of manpower, experimental subjects, and a hidden port.
The influence of the Machine Cult from Idumea and Synford has spread to other principal hive worlds of the Hazeroth Sub, namely Guytoga, Samson IV and Gunpoint.
==Forge World Origin==
Idumea is a minor forge world at the edge of the Calixis Sector that has found itself caught in the tendrils of the Phaenonite Conspiracy. The most brazen and unholy types of tech-heresy bubble just beneath the surface of this choked and polluted world, waiting for the moment when its rulers will rise up to take their place as leaders of not just the Calixis Sector, but perhaps the Imperium itself.
Those that hail from Idumea are unlikely to be part of the conspiracy, but it is difficult to spend a significant amount of time on the surface without at least coming into contact with the servants of the Phaenonites. Characters originating from Idumea start with either the Peer (Underworld) or Unremarkable Talent. Additionally they treat Common Lore (Underworld), Forbidden Lore (Cults) and Scholastic Lore (Occult) as untrained Basic Skills. Imperial Psykers may also select this forge world Homeworld as their Origin, but they must select the Unremarkable Talent rather than Peer (Underworld).
