Kilsnik

Planetary System

Reputed homeworld and capital of the Goff Grand Warlord Zodwort Bluefungus, Champion of Gork 'n' Mork. The Empire reputedly stood for three centuries until the demise of the Warlord. Kilsnik is an ork holy world of sorts. Warbosses and aspirant nobz flock to the planet for a chance to touch the Grand Warlord's bones ('fer gud luck, geddit?') and fight in the Gore Pits.

Cerridwen the Perverse, late of Craftworld Lugganath, spent nearly a decade observing the orks on Kilsnik, and was privileged enough to see the reputed corpse of the Grand Warlord. He reported the thigh bone of Zodwort was nearly two yards long and over a foot thick. Based on these tales, Imperial reckoning places the Grand Warlord's dimensions at death at over seventeen foot tall and twenty-two foot broad across the shoulders. In addition, it is reckoned that he weighed over three tons of raw muscle at his death – by far the largest ork in recorded history.

While most Imperial scientists are rightly sceptical of these dimensions, it is documented fact that Zodwort's personal glyph is recognised far beyond the extent of the Antona Australis sector - indeed, feral orks in Dedgit, an isolated mediaeval world in the Segmentum Solar worship 'Za-Oddwort, Da Big Killa' as a god. If this idol and the warlord are the same being, this would mean that the Grand Warlord ruled a region of space roughly equal in size to the current-day Segmentum Obscurus.
