Iniquity

“By this blood I swear my soul and heart to the blackness and to the Iron Scourge.”
–from the oath of the Iron Scourge fraternity
Iniquity is a world of huge mountains rising from an acid sea,
orbited by a fractured moon. In warrens burrowed into the
dark rock of the mountain lurk thousands of renegades and
scum of the worst kind. It is a world that exists to feed its feral
packs of Chaos raiders with metal and supplies, who return
with captured prisoners to toil in the foundries and poisoned
mines. There is no lore on Iniquity save the lore of might and
murder, and its brutal society is split into fraternities bonded by
blood and pledges made in unholy tongues. These fraternities
control the mining and smelters in the deep reaches beneath
the mountains and watch over the toiling armies of captives
whose lives are best if they are short.
Long ago mines were established on Iniquity, burrowing
into the mineral-rich rock despite thousands of lives lost to
rock falls and poisoned gas pockets. That time was ended when
the indentured workforce rose up and slaughtered the mine
overseers and daubed the dark walls of the mine workings
with their blood. Some attempt may have been made by the
backers of the mining operation to regain control of Iniquity,
but if there was, it remains unrecorded, and its failure is
obvious from the evil tales that seep like a blood stain though
rumor and whispers even to Port Wander. To this day none
has ever succeeded in cleansing Iniquity---though many have
tried and failed to return.
