 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.
-It is with his vacancy of the Underworld and his son [[Slith]] left in  his stead but unable to govern completely, a new leader needed to be chosen in order to decide what is to happen to the Underworld. With many striving to attain power for themselves, thus began the War for Ruler of the Underworld.
+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.
-It was then that each prominent being in the Underworld sought to take control of the [[Soulbleed]], and gain power over the Underworld. In order for the powers in the Underworld not to destory all of existence, Lord [[Aegis]] sought the help of adventurers to help each one of the opposing factions to help achieve power and each faction sought the help of the city-states in order to help bolster there power.
+In the end, the list of competing factions would look something like this:
-The factions rose up to challenge as leader of the Underworld:
+- '''Magister [[Dominar]]''' --- Who sought to expand the influence of the Underworld to the Material Plane.
-- '''Magister [[Dominar]]''' --- Who sought to expand the influence of the Underworld to the Material Plain.
+- 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 [[Tizane]] and [[Zigana]]'''---- who sought to enhance the physical and mental prowess of creatures they expose the energies of their conduit to of the Soulbleed.
+- 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 '''Ur'Vampires [[Asztrik]] and [[Prioska]]''' ----- who sought as well to enchance the prowess of the creaturs they exposed to the conduit.
 - The '''Death Knight Lord [[Kemnast]] and Ur'Vampire [[Gerzson]]''' ---- who sought to keep other factions from controlling the Soulbleed Nexus, and to keep it from misuse.
-- The '''Vampire Lord [[Zsarachnor]]''' ---- wants to kill Slith and take both his place and power for himself.
+- The '''Vampire Lord [[Zsarachnor]]''' ---- who wished to become advisor to Slith on the basis of having served as his advisor during the Wars of Humanity, despite the fact that he had once been exiled by Ugrach, and was considered unwelcome by every other member of the undead nobility.
-- The '''Vampiress [[Belladona]]''' wants the Soulbleed Nexus. Why was unclear.
+- 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
 Each city state was promised that if there faction would would win they would honour there agreement by Divine Mandate.
