Commorragh — The Haemonculus Covens, Khaine's Gate & Soul-Thirst
Hidden within the labyrinthine sub-realms of the Webway, the Dark City of Commorragh—powered by stolen suns ('Ilmaea') suspended in sub-dimensional cages—is home to the Drukhari. Unlike their Craftworld kin, the Drukhari eschewed Spirit Stones after the Fall and allowed their psychic abilities to atrophy completely (as using psychic powers in Commorragh risks drawing Slaanesh's gaze and triggering the 'Dysjunction'). Because Slaanesh continuously leeches away their souls droplet by droplet ('The Thirst'), a Drukhari can stave off physical decrepitude only by drinking the psychic agony and terror of tortured captives.
