Background
"It is good to return to our home. It has been too long since I have gazed upon the Beacon and gathered with my brothers."

- Gareth the Watcher upon returning to The Heralds Keep for The Gathering.

Camoris is a large moon that orbits the gas giant Angel's Beacon. It is considered to be a tribal world for its inhabitants are barley past what would be considered the stone age of old Terra. It is a barren world were little grows and the only source of water is either deep with the planet or in its frozen seas. The tribes war with one another over the few resources and have to compete with the indigenous fauna. The greatest of these is the Golden Drake, a large, winged lizard creature that is the apex predator of the world who is ritually hunted in the trials to become a member of the chapter. The world is rocky and has no mountains due to the fact it has been pelted with asteroids seine it was been formed. instead it is covered with craters and canyons. The inhabitants of the Camoris live in these craters and canyons where caves keep them safe from the asteroids falling from the sky. They only venture out to hunt or to make war on other tribes.

Fortress-Monastery
The chapter's Fortress-Monastery is known as The Herald's Keep. It is a fortress built in the center of a great crater and the fortress itself looks like a castle from the middle age of Terra. It is there that the whole chapter meets every two hundred years to share what they have leaned and to gather information on the whereabouts of The Chalice in what is called The Gathering. The Great Hall is where the bodies of all former captains are laid to rest and their personal banners stand vigil over them. The Council Table is were all the senor members of the chapter gather to discuses. It is a round stone table that has its center carved into the shape of the chapter badge. Below the fortress monastery is a network of catacombs that connect to various points trough the monastery. It is there that the dead of the chapter are laid to rest. The whole of the monastery is covered by a domed energy shield that protects it from invasion and environmental hazards. The Herald's Keep is decorated with statues of angels battling with demons, gargoyles, and depictions of the Astaties from Merlios's vision.
