Acheron

Acheron is a molten world in the Hyperborea system, and is home to a population of several hundred thousand Imperial citizens. The world is incredibly close to the Hyperborean sun, however its surface temperature and radiation levels are kept habitable due to atmospheric alteration during the Dark Age of Technology.

Acheron's surface is comprised mostly of charred islands separated by oceans of red-hot magma. The surface is also highly volatile, with volcanic ranges and lava-filled calderas dotting the entirety of the surface.

The world's crust is rich in Adamantium, and as a result there are several blackened mining complexes and small cities throughout the natural veins of the substance. These cities often have canals of lava running through them, and many city blocks are built on large platforms which float amongst the lakes of magma.

Moons
Acheron has a single moon, which is a boiling dustbowl. This moon is home to a small thread of cities and shipyards.

There are several orbital settlements floating around Acheron, however these have mostly been abandoned due to the heat of the nearby star. These are breeding grounds for mutants, heretics and criminal scum.

The Haemotoxia Conclave
A chaos cult based somewhere in the southern hemisphere of the world, which is mostly abandoned due to a lack of adamantium. They make their hme in a long-dead city floating on a vast lake of magma, and have several fortress defenses on surrounding rocky islands.

The cult is dedicated to both Khorne and Nurgle, and are surprisingly organised for a chaos cult. They are organised in a very similar fashion to an Imperial Guard regiment, which suggests they may have originally been the world's Planetary Defense Force. They employ large amounts of looted Imperial vehicles in battle, alongside hordes of Plaguebearers and Bloodletters. They are known to possess at least one Baneblade, covered in heretical sigils and markings.

The cult kept much of its existence hidden until the start of the Meagress War, appearing as nothing more than isolated raids on the planet's mines and cities. However when their fellow heretics entered the systemm, they assembled their full forces.
