Tasoromn

Tasoromn is a feral ice world that serves as the Adeptus Astartes homeworld of the Jiangshi Riders Space Marine Chapter.

Background
The Chapter homeworld of the Jiangshi Riders is known as Tasoromn, a feral Ice World with snow-capped mountains that reach up into the heavens beyond the dark clouds. The people of Tasoromn are rugged nomads, seeking the warmest and most hospitable climates throughout the year, and spend their short lives hunting and surviving. Often assembled into clans, these nomads will go to war over land, riding on mounts in savage combat in the valleys between mountains. They make the perfect recruits for the Jiangshi Riders, their savage nature and tribal rituals eerily similar to the ones the Riders' practice.

The feudal tribesmen of Tasoromn worship the Emperor as the Deity of the Dead, watching over the souls of the Imperium and casting out the unworthy. They see his spiritual realm as 10 courts, each ruled over by a king of the undead and his host of daemons and angels, where souls are judged on certain aspects of their lives. If they are found wanting, these souls are expelled from his realm, becoming wanderers on the spiritual plane, forever cursed with the pain and sorrow of rejection. Whether or not the Jiangshi Riders have influenced these beliefs is unknown.

Fortress-Monastery
The Fortress-Monastery of the Jiangshi Riders is known as the Shrieking Peak, and is buried within the tallest mountain of Tasoromn. The road to this mountain is lined with the heads of xenos and other horrors fought by the Riders, preserved only by the freezing cold temperatures of the altitude. In this mountain the Riders practice their sickening rituals and prayers, train, eat, and rest.
