== Background ==
The Nether War is an ongoing war being fought on the Overworld's largest continent. It began with the 's invasion of the Overworld. After the Nether conquered the Far Plains, the mounted a failed attack against them in the Battle of Hemlock. During the retreat, the Nether Emperor was crushed by a downed airship and presumed dead by the Frostbourne. Nevertheless, the Nether pushed west into Frostbourne Territory, but were defeated because they could not withstand a strong blizzard. Hogsworth, the general who spearheaded the Nether's Overworld forces, was captured by the Frostbourne. As morale declined among Hogsworth's former troops, an inexperienced commander named Brots stepped up to lead them.
== Opening Offensive ==
Following a buildup of ground forces and the construction of a new airship, the Frostbourne sent a large army to Hilda's occupied outpost to secure full control of the Frostbourne Territory before begging a large scale counteroffensive across the rest of the continent. Commander Brots' forces stationed at the base stood no chance against the overwhelming power of the Frostbourne, forcing him to retreat through a portal and leave his army to slaughter.
== Empire in Retreat ==
The main Frostbourne army split into 4 groups and moved on nearly every territory held by the Nether Empire. After defeating the Empire's forces occupying the Barren Frontier, The Frostbourne moved on the Far plains from both the North and the West of the territory. However, before any conflict could break out between the two sides over the region, the Empire's two main armies in the area fell back to there main Base in the Meadows of the Far Plains.
== Second Battle of Hemlock ==
The two Frostbourne armies quickly followed the retreating Imperial forces, leading to a major confrotnation at the village of Hemlock once again. As the fight broke out, the Elytra Corps flew from of the Airship and immediately engaged the Giant Wither defending the base, as well as the Ghasts supporting her. The Frostbourne Footsoldiers, led by the Machine Golem, engaged Brots and his Pigman army. As the battle continues, Lyria and the elytra corps make quick work of both the Giant Wither, and the Ghasts. The Hordes ground forces don't fare much better as Virmir and Syphion lead the Frostbourne Cavalry in taking out more Pigmen. After Brots tries to engage the Machine golem and gets thrown across the battlefield, the remaining Pigmen begin retreating through the Ancient Portal as the Frostbourne cheer in victory.
As the Pigmen retreat, the airship shoots a cannon ball at the defeated Brots. However, the newly arrived Naeus teleports Infront of Brots and catches it with his bare hands. The Frostbourne garrison look in fear, as Naeus throws the cannonball back at the airship, destroying it and causing Elytra Corps members to fly out of it. The Machine Golem tries to fire at Naeus, but realizes that its bullets do not affect him, and retreats with the rest of the army. Naeus then sends in Ghasts and Wither Skeletons to go after the retreating Frostbourne along with the remaining Pigman.
