Following the esoteric warp paths provided by Ribben the 10tharrived at Ichovor in a few weeks. They quickly crushed the feudal world’s meagre planetary defences and descended upon the surface. Essentially a worthless target – especially right after Regulus – the Word Bearers still set out to do what they do best: Spreading the Word (i.e. taking some slaves and murdering the rest). Sergeant Adrotos was eventually located (in a rather bad state). He revealed that the planet has once been an Eldar world, but had become a human colony during the Dark Age of Technology. The humans had taken to the worship of the grandfather during the Age of Strife – but their civilization had fallen into ruin (quite literally). The feudal culture now prevalent wasn’t receptive to the Word; it is possible that they were the descendants of the people that wiped out the Nurglings (or maybe they just died off – it’s been known to happen).

The arrival of a major Imperial fleet seemed to spell the end of the investigation. A total of 4 BCs, 6 CAs and 11 DDs were much more than the 10thFleet could handle. Adrotos volunteered to remain behind in the Temple City of Nurgle, hoping to learn more about why Calixis is important to Nurgle – and thereby come closer to fulfilling his personal quest. Before departing the 10th Host launched a barrage of viral, biological and chemical warheads into Ichovor's murky atmosphere, dedicating the world once more to the service of Nurgle. Then they hauled ass back to Diamantina!
