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 '''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]]''' ---- 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]]''' ---- 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


- The '''Vampire Lord [[Zsarachnor]]''' ---- wants to kill Slith and take both his place and power for himself.
Eventually, each faction would approach the city-states on the surface, promising rewards in exchange for pledged assistance and eventual triumph.  


- The '''Vampiress [[Belladona]]''' wants the Soulbleed Nexus. Why was unclear.
[[Ashtan]] joined forces with the Cabal of the Ur'Vampires Tizane and Zigana.
[[Targossas]] joined forces with the Vampire Lord Zsarachnor who promised to guide them to the Holy Phoenix.
[[Hashan]] joined forces with the Ur'Vampires Asztrik and Prioska who promised to lend their knowledge on the undead.
[[Eleusis]] joined forces with Deathknight Lord Kemnast and Ur'Vampire Gerzson who promised to protect the Nexus from the the other factions and to keep the Underworld in check from affecting the Material Plane.


Each city state was promised that if there faction would would win they would honour there agreement by Divine Mandate.
The city of Mhaldor and the city of Cyrene chose not to pledge themselves with any faction, but the individual citizens of both were free to fight for who they would, and there eventually were Cyrenians and Mhaldorians in nearly every faction.


The city of Ashtan joined forces with the Tizane and Zigana seeking there knowledge on how to alter there creatures prowess.
Finding no great support in the Material Plane, the Magister Dominar withdrew from the war before the portals leading to the Underworld could ever be completed, plotting to achieve his goal in some other fashion.
The city of Targossas joined forces with the Vampire Lord Zsarachnor who promised the to them to guide them to the Holy Phoenix.
The city of Hashan joined forces with Asztrik and Prioska who promised to lend there knowledge on the undead to help the city better understand the [[Sunderlands]] and help control the beings there.
The village of Eleusis joined forces with Kemnast and Gerzson who promised to protect the Soulbleed from the the other factions and to keep the Underworld in check from affecting the Material Plane.


The city of Mhaldor and the city of Cyrene choose not ally themselves with any faction, but rather the individual citizens were given a choice of who they rather fight for and each of the citizens joined different factions.
Overseen by the recently returned Lord [[Aegis]], each faction was also more directly under the purview of one of his capable Demigods, [[Hanindir]], the Aureate Savant, [[Ulerin]], the Artificer, [[Rhivona]], the Toxotes of Woe, '''Flaris''', the Servant Tactician,  and '''Pindara''', Advocate of Desolation.  


Before the fighting started, the Magister Dominar withdrew from the war, plotting in achieving his goal in some other fashion, thus leaving only 5 factions.
Eventually, after managing to gather the resources needed to create a portal to the Underworld, fortify their bases there and fight with tooth and nail for the territories held by rivalling powers, the faction of the Ur'Vampires Asztrik and Prioska emerged victorious, though what will come of this is anyone's guess still at this point.


In order to help facilitate each faction he left he faction in the hands of a capable demigod, '''Hanindir''', the Aureate Savant, '''Ulerin''', the Artificer, '''Rhivona''', the Toxotes of Woe, '''Flaris''', the Servant Tactician,  and '''Pindara''', Advocate of Desolation. Each demigod lead each of the factions to in a series of tests and collections in first to set up a portal to the Underworld, and then to help set up supplies and defenses that would help in the upcoming battle. In the very last phase of the battle, a war brought between the many factions in many battlefields that assaulted and defending there forts and auxilary fortresses. With no winner in sight yet, the battle continue to rage on.

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.

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:

- Magister Dominar --- Who sought to expand the influence of the Underworld to the Material Plane.

- 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 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 ---- 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 ---- 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

Eventually, each faction would approach the city-states on the surface, promising rewards in exchange for pledged assistance and eventual triumph.

Ashtan joined forces with the Cabal of the Ur'Vampires Tizane and Zigana. Targossas joined forces with the Vampire Lord Zsarachnor who promised to guide them to the Holy Phoenix. Hashan joined forces with the Ur'Vampires Asztrik and Prioska who promised to lend their knowledge on the undead. Eleusis joined forces with Deathknight Lord Kemnast and Ur'Vampire Gerzson who promised to protect the Nexus from the the other factions and to keep the Underworld in check from affecting the Material Plane.

The city of Mhaldor and the city of Cyrene chose not to pledge themselves with any faction, but the individual citizens of both were free to fight for who they would, and there eventually were Cyrenians and Mhaldorians in nearly every faction.

Finding no great support in the Material Plane, the Magister Dominar withdrew from the war before the portals leading to the Underworld could ever be completed, plotting to achieve his goal in some other fashion.

Overseen by the recently returned Lord Aegis, each faction was also more directly under the purview of one of his capable Demigods, Hanindir, the Aureate Savant, Ulerin, the Artificer, Rhivona, the Toxotes of Woe, Flaris, the Servant Tactician, and Pindara, Advocate of Desolation.

Eventually, after managing to gather the resources needed to create a portal to the Underworld, fortify their bases there and fight with tooth and nail for the territories held by rivalling powers, the faction of the Ur'Vampires Asztrik and Prioska emerged victorious, though what will come of this is anyone's guess still at this point.
