[ABSTRACT]
Since the dissaptation of the Warpstorm which isolated the Endiscovered March for eight millennia Agents of the Imperium, Adeptus Mechanicus and Rouge Traders flocked to the system to discover the dangers and treasures. Naturally the volume of the reports on this sector of space bars access to its many secrets, a problem that is expounded by the fact that such reports are often sequestered or jealously guarded secrets. For the information we do have we owe a great debt to the late Abelard Scitus, a monk in the Order of St. Fabian's Book on Scadia. He compiled, catalogued and analyzed the extant documents thus producing the most complete resource of the Undiscovered March to date. Several readers are familiar with the Order of Fabian's Book since the famous Inquisitor Hastatus Dorn is their honorary Abbot. This provided the foundation for Astra Militarum intelligence for the First Scadian Crusade. As the honorable warriors of mankind exercise the Emperor's Will in the chaos infested subsector Abelard Scitus continued his work he titled "Rursus." His brothers are heirs to his work and do his memory much honor by continuing to refine and expand the Rursus for the homor and glory of the God-Emperor of mankind.

[THE ENKATTEL REGATE]
The faction of The Undiscovered March we know the most about is also the most frivolous, yet that does not mean it is benign. Far from it. The rouge traders who were foolhardy enough to establish relations with these creatures discovered their nature far too late for their own good.
The creatures that make up the ruling elite of the Enkattel Regate are not isolated to the Undiscovered March Subsector. The Black Templars encountered their kind on Cephian IV, a rather remote system from Sector Heracles. In all truth, they are not from real space. They are a type of warp entity but they do not fit the most scientific definitions of demon. They are Vampir, polymorphic entities who feed on the life force of sentient races. Normally, they are shadow creatures who exist in greater numbers in peoples imagination and fears than reality. Yet, the warp storm allowed them to subjugate the human population on their worlds and establish a society to serve them.
They call themselves Maestru and Marasa, the former is the masculine the latter, feminine. Maestru Lords, Domns, arrange courts about them that consist of their extened family as well as any Sangjurat. The Sangjurat are human individuals who have been made half Maestru in return for their dedication and service. The most notable position in the Domn's Court is the Sangpazine, or blood guard. These are the Domns military companions who go with him in battle.
The human population on these worlds are serfs forced to serve their Domn. They are called Cottars. They provide him with food and labor and children for his Fortarzi. The serfs have an agreement to render specific services and taxes for the Domn and in return the Domn won't eat them. The most common punishment for a Cottar who has broken the law is to end up on the Domn's table.
While the elite of the Enkattel military establishment are the Domn and his Sangpazites, the bulk of their armies are from cottar levees. The Fortarzi are cottars taken as children into the service of the Domn. Normally, they take the healthiest of one in every twenty boys. They are trained to serve in his army and be a laborer for specific projects that fall outside of the normal agreements between a Domn and his Cottars. Though there is always some variation across the worlds these levees form Fortarz Regiments. They are often only equipped with Laslocks which are more precious to the Domn than their Fortarzi's lives. The form in groups of ten called Zekes, lead by a Zekom, and groups of hundreds called Suta, lead by a Sutar. All a Domns Suta form his regiment. Fortarzi are not allowed to marry and are often condemned to short brutal lives though it can be an opportunity to rise into the ranks of the Sangjurat for the brave and the clever.
One dark truth of the Maestru is their form. They have the ability to alter themselves between their human form or their natural form, called the Adevar. If a Maestru goes too long without feeding a furious hunger take them over and they loose control over themselves. They become mildless beasts stuck in their Adevar form always seeking to feed. Many Domns keep these Adevar as dangerous pets and beasts of war.

[DERGONIAN WORLDS]
Scholars with access to the most sequestered of records know that the spirits of the warp are not always as random, or if my readers will excuse the term, chaotic, as they seem. A greater demon of Tzeentch rose to power on the planet Deragog, for which the name of his dominion is derived. He conquered great swaths of space where the warp storm was the most volatile and carved out a great garden of maddness in honor to his master.
The Scadian Crusade's primary focus was the eradication of this vile presence. The waning of warp energy with the abiding of the warp storm weakened the demonic kingdom and with faith the crusaders banished the spawns of Deragog's infernal imagination and exterminated the vile races he created to please his master.
After the Crusade a number of colonies were established on these worlds to harness their natural resources, with special inquisitorial oversight. Despite the occasional mass suicides, establishment of cults, and manifestations of demonic creatures, to be expected on such a world, the colonies succeed and were rather profitable to the sector as a whole. That is, of course, until the Am Parat Star Empire's counter attack to claim these worlds for their own.

[WORLDS OF THE DEMON'S CLAW]
There are many places in space that seem devoid of life, purpose or reason, yet somehow the scum of existence and order manage to build a home in these places. The Demon's Claw is an unstable and hazardous part of space which bears the uncanny resemblance to a enormous claw. Small outcast worlds scratch a living off asteroid belts, space hulks and death worlds, often supplementing their scant productivity with void piracy. Many of these void pirates provide the members of the Enkattel Regnate with void transport or a mercenary navy. Such areas are beneath the notices of Sector governors and are the responsibility of subsector magnates to police and eradicate such wrinkles in a well ordered Imperium. Its continued existence is proof that the surrounding factions are unfit to rule the subsector.
[AM PARAT STAR EMPIRE]
...Information is limited and Fragmented. The consensus among augers is a small two to three system coalition of heretic worlds exist hidden amongst the last remnants of the warpstorm in the Undiscovered March.
