A rare jewel of serenity in the Calixis Sector, Askelphion Secundus is an Imperial paradise and propaganda engine. Its sunlit plains, sacred waterfalls, and sculpted vistas host nobles, Rogue Traders, and retired admirals, while Guardsmen are indoctrinated amid beauty before being cast into war.
Ruled from Pater Gloria Palace, the Marchioness oversees ritual hunts, duels, and pageantry that blend leisure with liturgical obedience. Beneath the luxury lies a calculated purpose: to bind loyalty through the promise of paradise. Imperial Guard regiments pass through vast Crusader Chapels for conditioning, psychic shielding, and indoctrination, told that victory will grant them the world’s beauty forever.
Strategically, Askelphion Secundus serves as a rest haven for officers, a propaganda beacon broadcast to the frontlines, and a discreet stage for diplomacy among the Imperium’s elites.
