Chapter Home World
Saraj is a fertile Feudal world with lush greenery, soaring mountains and azure seas, which, at the time of the Colonization, had achieved a black powder level of technology. The dominant Saraj empire at the time of the Colonization was an organized aristocracy which had conquered most of the planet with well-equipped and highly disciplined armies. Armoured horsemen and densely packed blocks of infantry had won every campaign their ruler. This Feudal world has proven to be an excellent recruiting ground for prospective Aspirants of the Chapter due to the harsh conditions of the people of Saraj are forced to endure.

Fortress-Monastery
Tengeriin or "Celestial Castle", is the formidable fortress-monastery of the Knights Of War. Set in the peaks of snow and ice between the world's four tallest peaks of the Kurk Montains. These peaks are known for its extreme cold and treacherous conditions. The bitter cold, deadly hazards, and other dangers threaten those when are foolhardy (or suicidal) enough to venture forth and dare threaten the Knights Of War' domain. Many deadly traps line the path towards the Chapter's citadel, these includes deadfalls of snow, patches of cravasses, and deadly slippery ramps. A wintry grave awaits those who are foolhardy enough to assail these peaks.

The Knights Of War' fortress-monastery has been reinforced over the years with adamantium to make it exceptionally strong. The walls are quite smooth and coated with snow and ice. The entire citadel is cold, more so than is comfortable for baseline humans. Ceiling height in most rooms averages at 20 feet.
