Korziqa

Korziqa is a feral death world and notable Chapter home world of the ferocious and unforgiving Jackal Claws Space Marine Chapter.

Background
Korziqa is a feral world covered in savannas, bush lands and the ancient ruins of cities. The people of Korziqa have degenerated into primitive superstitious tribes that have no understanding of the ancient technology. It is believed the Jackal Claws deliberately keep the people in a state of conflict and regression in order to have a suitable recruitment pool. The people wear garbs made from animal pelts and many tribes make use of face paint. This culture has been assimilated by the Jackal Claws thus many have pelts and warpaint.

Korziqa is home to an array of wildlife, most of them hostile to humans. The most famous of them are the jackals, large canine beasts that live in packs and attack when their prey is at it's weakest. To kill one is a feat worthy of admiration. Other animals include the boarbeasts and docile Olaphaks.

The Jackal Claws' fortress monastery is located in a tall mountain far in the north. Due to legends implanted by the Jackals, the people stay far away from the mountain out of fear of earning their wrath. Only those chosen by the Chapter serfs during the time of recruitment may approach it. Although the Jackal Claws often keep themselves isolated, they will occasionally travel the land. When a pack of Jackal Claws roam the land, the people would do well to avoid them for who knows if the pack feels like doing a spot of hunting.
