Aul Sharaq

Aul Sharaq is a name recorded in accounts of Chogoris, homeworld of the White Scars Legion, during the Horus Heresy era. Surviving accounts differ as to whether the name designates an individual dignitary, a warlord of one of the world’s Ordu clans, or a place associated with events of the Legion’s Compliance, and no single authoritative record resolves the question.

In the tradition surrounding the White Scars Legion’s homeworld, the name Aul Sharaq appears connected with the turbulent period of Chogoris’s integration into the Imperium, when Jaghatai Khan’s rise over the world’s fractious Ordu clans and the subsequent unification of the planet under Imperial Compliance reshaped its political order. Later Legion lore associates Aul Sharaq with this period of consolidation, though the precise nature of any role attributed to it — whether as ally, rival, or intermediary to the Khan — is not consistently recorded across accounts.

Because detailed record of Aul Sharaq is sparse, the name is chiefly of interest for what it suggests about the depth and complexity of Chogorian society before and during its Compliance, rather than for any single documented action attributed to it. It is preserved primarily as a point of reference in broader accounts of the White Scars Legion’s origins on Chogoris, alongside other native names and terms that inform the Legion’s cultural identity within the wider history of the Horus Heresy.
