Anotolio

Anotolio is an Imperial civilised world located in the Segmentum Pacificus and serves as an Adeptus Astartes homeworld of the Maroon Hunters Space Marine Chapter.

Background
Anotolio is a civilised world on the edge of the Segmentum Pacificus. Having been brought back into the light of the Astronomican by the Maroon Hunters, the planet has since prospered under their rule and became a hub of trade as well as growing industry. With it's main exports being only minerals and basic equipment, Anotolio has nevertheless managed to maintain a growing economy and always ensured that it was on a surplus.

The planet pays the Imperial Tithe directly to the Maroon Hunters in the form of both manpower and basic workforce, as well as food, whereas the chapter allows the planet to export it's products to other systems and planets, even most graciously providing protection in rare cases. The planet is ruled directly by the chapter, with their Chapter Master being the Planetary Governor of Anotolio, also known as the Lord High-Commandant. The people and the Maroon Hunters have formed close ties over millennia and there is mutual like and respect between the chapter and the people.

"See that big building over there? Yeah, that's the Space Marines' Fortress Monastery. Pretty colossal building, honestly. Nevertheless, those big guys in there are pretty decent employers. Come now, we have a business to handle!"

- Rogue Trader Alphonse Schredit to Arch-Militant Erika, talking about Blade's Fall as their transport prepares to land into hangar bay 44.

The Chapter has built it's Fortress Monastery on the spot where their legendary figure, Lord High-Commandant Chaka, fell. Named Blade's Fall in honor of his nickname, which was the ' Lightning Blade ', the Fortress-Monastery has been built by the cooperative work of the people of Anotolio and the Maroon Hunters. A colossal building that dwarfs all the structures in the entire Anotolion Sub-Sector, the Fortress Monastery not only became the new palace of the Planetary Governor, but also the heart of the new Sub-Sector's capital.

Consisting of innumerable rooms and corridors with many tasks, the Blade's Fall hides many secrets as well as housing an entire chapter. Behind numerous secret doors and passageways, lies the heart of the Fortress Monastery, only known as the "Blade Room". Within it's halls stands 4 stoic Space Marines, the mightiest psykers the Maroon Hunters have ever seen. In the center of the room is an altar and on top of it is a single, mighty blade. It is Lubricanux, the daemon blade that stains the chapter. It falls to these four brave librarians to keep vigil and hold the blade's power in check for an eternity.

Their task is grave, yet unknown to anyone except the Command Squad. These battle brothers are referred to as the "Keepers" and, with their names struck from the chapter's records, their sole task is to protect the indestructible daemon blade, torture the daemon within for information and most importantly, to prevent it from acting as a beacon to call forces of chaos forth. In their eternal solitude and servitude, these brave heroes protect the dark stain within the chapter's core and make sure that the infection does not spread.
