Raakata

“Dreams go astray in the void beyond reason; they become dark and terrible things made of the desires of fools and the artifice of tyrants. When dreams go so astray, it is best to leave them alone.”
–from the personal reflections of Inquisitor Hastur Whitlock
Raakata is a ruined world that can only be reached by passing
beyond a shifting and treacherous region of the warp. Its
collapsed and empty hives are said to be laden with untouched
relics of the Dark Ages of Technology, while the void around
Raakata is filled with vox broadcasts of strange languages,
garbled binary code, and blurts of static. Its human population
is composed of feral and vicious savages who daub themselves
in ash and powered rust; the knowledge and sophistication of
the ancestors who built the ruined hives and treasures rotting
within are long lost to them. All that is known of Raakata
comes from the accounts of Toros Umboldt, who claimed its
discovery but has subsequently failed to rediscover the world
in two later expeditions. All traces of his earlier passage have
been erased by the changing warp, and his standing amongst
his peers is diminished greatly as a result.
