Plinth

Slumbering Menace
''Plinth, official designation XT-118, is a small world located in a system on the easternmost edge of the Xaphan sector. Discovered early in the 41st millennium, it was deemed unworthy of exploitation or colonization due to it's lack of any resources, both mineral and organic. ''

''A world covered in lifeless desert, there is evidence that the planet once supported life. Several ruins are dotted across it's surface, their creators as of yet are unknown.''

They Awaken
In 901.M41 the true nature of Plinth was revealed. Thanks to the meddling of the upstart Tau, several ancient artefacts were activated, revealing Plinth to be a Necron Tomb World.

A Crownworld, Plinth also serves as the gateway to the Outer Dark, a pocket Universe created to imprison The King in Yellow and his legions. With it's awakening, the portal is now open for their return and woe betide anyone who get's in their way.

Pre-Awakening Appearance
Before the Tombworld awoke, Plinth was a desolate world covered in red deserts. Ruins were scattered around it's polar regions, but nothing else pointed to the planet ever supporting life.



Post-Awakening Appearance
With the Tombworld fully active, the red sands of Plinth have been blasted away, revealing a surface covered in archaic machinery. Glowing nodes dot the surface, with vast heiroglyphic circuitry patterns illuminating the surface.

Within it's cyclopean architecture, countless scarabs constantly swarm, preparing the worlds newly awakened inhabitants for war.
