Some time before the [[Chaos Wars]], the [[Gedtet]], a race of undead hunters, was exterminated by King Ugrach. The exact nature of the Gedtet remains a mystery, hinted at in passing by works of undead art.

During the [[War of Humanity]], Prince Slith of the Underworld, then at his father Ugrach's side, decided to aid the forces of the [[Triumvirate (mythos)|Triumvirate]], eager to fight against the hated [[Thoth]]. Furious, Ugrach cast Slith and his followers from the plane and made a declaration of neutrality in which he stated that he wished not to butt heads with the gods, least of all Thoth, who is Death Himself. Among those followers was General [[Zsarachnor]], Slith's chief advisor. Later, at the [[Battle of Nishnatoba]], Slith quit the battlefield sensing his defeat, opting instead to return to the Underworld to reconcile differences with his father. However, his excursion was short-lived; at the close of the war, [[Ayar]] exiled Slith to the [[Chaos Plane]], where he and Zsarachnor brooded for untold centuries. This is the last bit of action the Underworld saw in quite some time.

In more recent years, the Underworld was rediscovered in 338 AF thanks to the opening of a previously sealed section of the lower level of [[Azdun]]. Brave adventurers may seek entry by going to the [[Temple of Unlife]] and touching the massive root of [[Yggdrasil]] which the Temple is built around.
