When Ugrach's son slew the god of Death, [[Thoth]], the Divine called a moot trial to decide Slith's fate. Ugrach raced to his son's aid, striking a bargain with the gods by which his son would be punished but not executed, to be locked afterwards in the Underworld, while Ugrach himself abdicated as Lord of the Undead and took over Thoth's role in the guidance of souls within the Halls of Death. | When Ugrach's son slew the god of Death, [[Thoth]], the Divine called a moot trial to decide Slith's fate.

The sudden absence of Ugrach, who had ruled the Underworld for untold centuries, coupled with the ascension of [[Slith]], who was unable to properly govern on his own, created a vacuum of power in the kingdom of undeath. The Ur'Vampires, lieutenants of equal power and rank under the former king, vied now for superiority over each other, forming factions with the intention of becoming closest to the incapacitated new king and thus more easily carry their own agendas. Before long, however, others, strangers to the Underworld, would join the fray as well. | |||
In the end, the list of competing factions would look something like this: | |||

- ''' | - The '''Ur'Vampires [[Tizane]] and [[Zigana]]'''---- who sought to enhance the physical and mental prowess of creatures both undead and not, and who wished to take their experiments further in order to progress and change their kingdom as well as the overworld with the help of the Soulbleed and the Nexus. | ||
- The '''Ur'Vampires [[Asztrik]] and [[Prioska]]''' ----- who sought as well to enhance the physical prowess of the creatures they exposed to the Nexus, bolstering the power of their undead. | |||

- The '''Vampiress [[Belladona]]''' | - The '''Vampiress [[Belladona]]''' ---- who wished to become Queen of the Underworld, though she had no real claim to title, apparently being driven mostly by the wish to thwart her old nemesis Zsarachnor | ||
