World torn by a global civil war
A world consumed by a global civil war, against an army of traitors. Its landmarks include a two-mile-high Orbital Tether and a Spire with landing tethers at its top. In Final Deployment the Tempestus Scions of First Eradicant, led by Tempestor Traxel, drop straight into the fighting, with a commissar beside them. What happens there is in the book's spoiler.

Map frame: 738.9, 117.3 in the archive's 0–1000 disk space (core at 500, 500).
Distance from the core: 451 units ≈ 48k light years, north-east of the galactic core.
Height above the disk plane: -2.3 units — invented thin-disk jitter, deterministic per record. No published source gives any location a z coordinate.

wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Rilis No Lexicanum article of its own ( is an empty page, read 2026-10-02; full-text search for 'Rilis' finds only the novel page and the Tempestus Scions image caption). Named as the novel's setting by Black Library's description ('On Rilis, Traxel will face the foe that broke him'; Black Library product page, Internet Archive copy of 11 Nov 2025, and Lexicanum Final_Deployment_(Novel)), by Warhammer Community's Saturday Pre-orders of 9 Aug 2025 ('the Scions of the First Eradicant are sent to Rilis to quell an incendiary civil war', azss6wms) and its Sunday Preview of 3 Aug 2025 (uwsdjvro), and by Lexicanum Tempestus_Scions ('First Eradicant during the Rilis civil war', citing the novel's cover art). NAME-COLLISION CHECK: no index record uses the name, and Lexicanum holds no other Rilis.
segmentumhigh
null: no permitted source names a sector, subsector, segmentum, neighbour or bearing for Rilis.
classlow
'ice', painted from the only picture of the world: GW's cover for the novel, which Lexicanum Tempestus_Scions captions 'First Eradicant during the Rilis civil war', shows the Scions crossing snow-covered ground and wreckage below a pale, cold sky, with ruined spires burning behind them. No terrain or colour word is published (there is no infobox and no article). The Orbital Tether and the Spire (Lexicanum Godshaker_Type-238_tactical_atomic_bomb, ch. XXII) say the world is built up, but nothing calls it a hive world, so 'hive' was not used. A reading of one painting, not a published description.
gposlow
inferred: the world is NAMED but canon never locates it, so the record claims no segmentum and sits on the unsurveyed rim at the generator's rim_xy('rilis') = [738.9, 117.3] (the function ported from build_locations.py, which reproduces laxus-secundus [464.8, 48.9] and spetzghast [231.9, 850.8]; the script itself was not run). The position carries no information and must not be read as one. Z -2.3 is the zPolicy value (compute-z.mjs rilis 738.9 117.3).
eraslow
indomitus only, inferred: no permitted source dates the novel (Black Library's description, the two Warhammer Community posts, Lexicanum's novel and equipment pages). It is a 2025 novel in the publisher's present-day setting, and every undated modern Astra Militarum novel on the shelf is filed post-Great Rift. Lexicanum's List_of_Media_set_during_the_Era_Indomitus stops around 2023, so the book's absence there says nothing. 'contested': a 'global civil war' (Black Library) against 'an army of traitors' (Black Library, 'Read it because').
