The planet that is now known as Ymir was once a thriving Human settlement in times long forgotten. Then came the Age of Strife and Orks befell the planet, burning or looting any trace of civilization, leaving behind nothing but charred ruins and a faded memory. Some Humans managed to survive the onslaught but the knowledge that allowed them to fathom how their technology worked faded over time and they began adopting a primitive and savage culture. In addition, the spores from the Ork invasion that toppled the entire planet remained and many Feral Orks started appearing in every corner of Ymir.

| - The planet that is now known as Ymir was once a thriving Human settlement in times long forgotten. Then came the Age of Strife and Orks befell the planet, burning or looting any trace of civilization, leaving behind nothing but charred ruins and a faded memory. Some Humans managed to survive the onslaught but the knowledge that allowed them to fathom how their technology worked faded over time and they began adopting a primitive and savage culture. In addition, the spores from the Ork invasion that toppled the entire planet remained and many Feral Orks started appearing in every corner of Ymir. For thousands of years, the savage tribes of Men fought against the brutish and bloodthirsty Orks (which they call "Ettin"). The Age of Strife served as a proving ground to the people of Ymir, as tribal conflicts and naval raids were a daily occurrence, becoming a way of life. For thousands of years, the people of Ymir (referred to as "Ymirfolk") did battle and shed blood. At first it was for survival, but as they grew accustomed to their savage world, savagery became tradition. Then came he Imperium of Man which discovered Ymir in the heart of Segmentum Tempestus at 613.M36. The Ork infestation was present on the planet and thus a bloody purge was done by the Space Wolves Chapter, who battled Xenos while simultaneously teaching the Ymirfolk about the greatness of the Emperor. Although the greenskins' presence was already rooted to the planet, making it nearly impossible to thoroughly cleanse, it also did not seem as if they were capable of spreading to neighboring systems. In fact, they actually proved useful in keeping the Human stock of Ymir strong and sturdy. That is why the Imperium placed a lunar station on Ymir's only moon, which the natives call Hati. The station serves as both a surveillance outpost which would monitor the planet and its people, and a fortification where the chosen Ymirfolk were taken and trained to be proper Guardsmen. And that is how the Einherjars of Ymir Regiment was established. The Ymirfolk call the station "Folkvangr" which translated from their own dialect means "the Field of the Host". "Summoned by the turmoil and on lightning we ride! The Sons of Ymir have arrived!" —Reginfrid, Housecarl of the Thunder Anvils
