Iocanthos also known as Iocanthus is a lawless world dominated by warlords and their huge armies, which clash across its jungles, forests and plains.

伊欧坎索斯也被称为伊欧坎瑟斯，是一个由军阀及其庞大军队统治的无法无天的世界，他们在丛林、森林和平原上发生冲突。

The planet's importance in the Calixis Sector is defined by the fact that it is one of the few places in the Imperium where the Ghostfire Flower can grow. Ghostfire Pollen can be refined into the combat drugs used extensively in the Penal Legions of the Imperial Guard.

这颗行星在卡利西斯星区的重要性在于，它是帝国中为数不多的可以生长鬼火花的地方之一。鬼火花粉可以提炼成战斗药剂，在帝国卫队的刑罚军团中广泛使用。

Overview 概述

Every five years, a taskforce of Administratum officials descends onto Iocanthos to gather the planet's Ghostfire Flower tithe. The warlords exchange their harvests of Ghostfire Pollen with the Administratum in exchange for weapons, vehicles, fuel, clean water and other essentials. The warlord who hands over the most Ghostfire pollen is considered the Planetary Governor and claims the lion's share of support from the Imperium and the title Vervai (literally "prince of princes" or "king").

每五年，一个由内务部组成的特别工作组都会来到伊欧坎索斯，收集地球上的鬼火花什一税。军阀们与政府交换他们收获的鬼火花粉，以换取武器、载具、燃料、清洁水和其他必需品。交出最多鬼火花粉的军阀被认为是行星总督，并声称获得了帝国的大部分支持和维尔瓦（字面意思是“王子中的王子”或“国王”）头衔。

The title brings with it immense prestige and confirms the warlord's position as the most dangerous and skilled on Iocanthos. The current Planetary Governor is Vervai "King" Skull, a terrifying warrior at the head of an enormous and supposedly invincible army of madmen and killers. The warlords of Iocanthos are also required to hand over their psykers as well as the Ghostfire harvest, but these are taken from them not by the Administratum but by nameless grey-uniformed men who herd the psykers onto their sleek black ships and take their leave.

这个头衔带来了巨大的声望，并证实了这位军阀是伊欧坎索斯最危险、最有技能的人。现任行星总督是维尔瓦“王者”颅骨，他是一名可怕的战士，领导着一支庞大的、据称不可战胜的疯子和杀手军队。伊欧坎索斯的军阀也被要求交出他们的灵能者以及鬼火收获物，但这些不是由内务部，而是由无名的灰色制服男子夺走的，他们将灵能者赶到他们线条流畅的黑船上并离开。

The Administratum fully accepts the situation on Iocanthos. The Ghostfire pollen is harvested very efficiently because so many warlords' armies battle to find every last blossom. Were the Administratum to take over Iocanthos themselves, then the planet would first have to be conquered by the Imperial Guard at enormous expense and the Administratum themselves would be hard-pressed to match the vigour with which Iocanthos' warlords hunt down every Ghostfire flower. They therefore leave the warlords to do the hard work, safe in the knowledge that none of them can rebel against Imperial authority lest their supplies of guns and fuel be cut off.

内务部完全接受伊欧坎索斯的情况。鬼火花粉的收获非常有效，因为许多军阀的军队都在努力寻找每一朵最后的花朵。如果内务部自己接管了伊欧坎索斯，那么这个行星首先必须被帝国卫队以巨大的代价征服，内务部自己将很难与伊欧坎索斯的军阀搜捕每一朵鬼火花的力度相匹配。因此，他们让军阀们去做艰苦的工作，因为他们知道没有人可以反抗帝国当局，以免他们的枪支和燃料供应被切断。

Conflicts 冲突

Iocanthos' warlords (usually styling themselves "vai" or tribal prince) battle constantly for control of the Ghostfire harvest. The Ghostfire crop cannot be cultivated normally and so once a patch of it is harvested another one must be found. The warlords' armies are therefore constantly on the move, travelling in enormous hordes across Iocanthos' main continent and clashing violently wherever they meet. Iocanthos' wide plains, dense, dark forests and forbidding mountain passes are studded with old battlefields where burned out vehicles and age-bleached skeletons abound.

伊欧坎索斯的军阀（通常自称“瓦”或部落王子）不断争夺鬼火收获物的控制权。鬼火作物不能正常种植，因此一旦收获了一块，就必须找到另一块。因此，军阀的军队一直在移动，成群结队地穿越伊欧坎索斯的主要大陆，无论在哪里相遇，都会发生激烈冲突。伊欧坎索斯宽广的平原、茂密黑暗的森林和令人望而生畏的山口布满了旧战场，烧毁的载具和褪色的骨架比比皆是。

Geography 地理

Four main continents and extensive island chains. Only the largest continent is populated (mountainous/rocky, dense southern forests).

四大洲和广阔的岛链。只有最大的大陆有人口（多山/多岩石、茂密的南部森林）。

The largest permanent settlement on Iocanthos is Port Suffering, a fortified town of 2,567,560 humans, which features a spaceport and the only office of the Administratum on the planet.

伊欧坎索斯上最大的永久定居点是痛苦港，这是一个拥有256,7560人的设防城镇，拥有一个太空港和行星上唯一的内务部办公室。

Not far north of Port Suffering is a small community in the mountains called Stern Hope, which recently sprung up around the construction of the planet's only Cathedral. Construction of the Cathedral began in 813.M41 and was consecrated circa 815.M41.

在痛苦港以北不远处，有一个名为斯特恩希望的山中村落，最近在建造行星上唯一的大教堂时兴起。大教堂始建于813.M41，并于815.M41年左右被祝圣。

This world's only other civilized location of note is the Abbey of the Dawn, the Adepta Sororitas' primary training facility in the Calixis Sector. Here, initiates are trained to be fully-fledged members of the Sisterhood.

这个世界上唯一值得注意的文明地点是黎明修道院，这是修女会在卡利西斯星区的主要训练设施。在这里，新进者被训练成修女会的正式成员。
