Nether Conspiracy

The "Nether Conspiracy" is a term used to describe the series of events that led to the Fall of Voldrania. The events which defined the Nether Conspiracy are often considered to be the precursors to the Nether War, which occurred during the mid 70s in New Voldrania. The term was coined in 69 AE by a team of Voldranian survivors investigating the ruins of their fallen home.
Evidence of the Nether Conspiracy date back to Voldrania's founding, and the organization behind it is considered to have been in direct conflict with the equally secretive Cult of Inversion. However the events the truly defined the Nether Conspiracy did not begin until approximately 48 AE, when the first Void Rift was discovered beneath Akarv. It remains unknown how long it had been there previously, but the date of its discovery is typically used as a frame of reference.
Everything spiraled downhill following the discovery of this rift. Not only were more discovered, but evidence came to light implicating known individuals linked to them. Some witnesses even claimed that these individuals were working directly with Netheric creatures such as Spirits. For a long time these events were kept secret from the public, and many who were aware of them passed them off as little more than coincidences. But a few concerned organizations continued to investigate, eventually discovering the involvement of people such as Alan Fruith and Josh Falls. As the conspiracy was further investigated evidence was discovered that all of the different agents seemed to be answering to a single greater power. While many had their theories as to their identity, the most popular ultimately proved to be true: It was the Void Devourer itself.
The investigation into the void rifts ultimately led nowhere, even as more and more serious cases were discovered. In 58 AE a Netheric ruin was discovered in Eirros that yielded little new information, but effectively alerted the rest of the world to the very real and present danger of the growing number of Netherans and Netheric creatures in the Overworld.
In 60 AE all the actions taken by the Nether conspirators came to a head, when the Void Devourer finally made its play and set in motion the Fall of Voldrania. The massive void rift created by the Devourer during this event caused massive destruction across Voldrania, forcing its denizens to retreat. The assault on the void barrier was also met with a Netheric invasion, with the Devourer's human agents waging a war on the surface. In the end this assault was ended by the Inversion, which was forced to use much of its power to undo the Devourer's progress. Following this, the Devourer ex-communicated many of its Voldranian allies and moved on to New Voldrania, eventually waging the Nether War against humanity.
