Malfi

"A toast to the Duchess of Malfi, may her beauty remain pure and her mind anything but."

General Information
Malfi is the true den of sin within the Imperium, a broken land fraught with enough intrigue, guile and sadistic manipulation to put the courts of Slaanesh herself to shame. It is here that influence is brokered and lives ended at a muttered word and it is here that one of the crown worlds of the Calixis Sector holds dominion.

Malfi is ruled by a series of House, each one striving to outdo the other through public appeal and outright murder and due to its inherently corrupt nature that both the Inquisition and the Arbites keep an incredibly close eye on the affairs that transpire upon its corrupt surface.

Unfortunately, it is this close eye that led to the great malaise that strikes Malfi. Long ago, when the planet was once young and prosperous, a group of Inquisitors belonging to the Recongerator Faction attempted to genetically modify the ruling elite of Malfi. To a certain extent they succeeded for the children born of this were intelligent and brave beyond even the greatest of Imperial Saints. Unfortunately, their dabbling had also left scars and those blessed with such genius and courage were also cursed with a looming madness that could not be sated. While the Inquisitors at fault were forced to flee, the damage had already been done and Malfi began its decline into the hell that it has become. What had once been a world of beauty and purity had now become a bleak monstrosity of cruelty and sin.

Now Malfi suffers from a war beyond any that it has suffered. The Forces of The Shattered Lords move in under the orders of Lord-Commander Cain who wishes to retrieve his birthright and it is here that the Covenant enters the annals of the Imperium, where there legend is born in the fury of a war. For this war is fought with a hatred born only from brothers.
