Jorvick

Jorvick is a feudal world that serves as an Adeptus Astartes homeoworld for the Knights of Guilliman, a Successor Chapter of the vaunted Ultramarines.

Background
The Knights of Guilliman hail from the pre-black powder Feudal World of Jorvick. The Planet's culture is very similar to the ancient Terran period known as the Middle Ages and Knightly Orders vie for control of the World and great wars are fought between them, Wars that are not only tolerated by the Knights of Guilliman but even encouraged as a way to keep a constant supply of Battle Tested recruits. To the world inhabitants the great Space Marines are the Emissary's of the God-Emperor and it is a great honour to have a family member join the Sky Warriors and Great Games are held every generation in order to find the bravest warriors who are then taken by the Chapter's Chaplains, never to be seen again as unlike some other Chapters the Knights of Guilliman do not interact with their subjects except to take recruits.

Pilgrimages to the Fortress of Konor used to be undertaken regularly and it was a rare day that there are not camps outside the walls but the pilgrims were careful not to approach the fortress too closely. During the assault on their World the Population hid in their castles and waited for the storm to pass, as for the pilgrims outside the walls, nothing is known, and it is thought that they were slain by the Flesh Rippers. Since the battle, the Fortress of Konor has become an area to be avoided and pilgrims no longer travel to it.
