Homeworld
The homeworld of the Jieshi Is'Malal is Hira, a daemon world in the Satyressia Expanse, a small warp ravaged area of space just beyond the Outreaumer sub-sector of the Levatine Sector of space.
For a daemon world, Hira is more pleasant than most though by Imperial standards it would be a death world. Hira is mostly desert, with less than 5% of it's surface covered by standing water. What water there is on this unforgiving world is locked in naturally occurring underground cisterns. The air cycle is not powered by waterborne plankton as on most terrestrial worlds, but by ephemeral blooms of plant life and microscopic 'sand plankton' fed by airborne water and subterranean water sources.
Hira is extremely dry and extremely hot. The average global temperature is an oppressive 47°C with average humidity near zero. Only 5% of the planet is covered by free-standing water (several shallow seas in the eastern hemisphere). Most of the planetary population lives along these seacoasts - life in the deep desert is all but impossible though some feral tribes eke out a living far from the main population centers having found an underground water source to exploit.
