Nether Horde

The Nether Horde is a group of nations and factions from the Nether who serve the Nether Emperor. The name was coined to refer to the subjects of the Nether Kingdom, reinforcing the idea of one nation, united under one king, despite its vast diversity. The Nether Horde once included the whole Nether, before many kingdoms separated during King Duma's reign. The Nether Horde today comprises the pigmen and wither skeletons, who share these ideals and lead the Nether Empire.
== History ==
Hundreds of years ago, the first Nether King, Tuskarr the Conqueror, conquered the Nether and united the dimension under his banner. His son, King Duma, was a less powerful ruler who failed to stop a number of factions, including the and , from seceding. Despite their efforts to manage the fallout, the influence of Duma's successors waned. Longstanding tensions between the pigmen and wither skeletons blossomed after the death of Glutton, the sixth king.
The resulting Nether Civil War ended in a Wither Clan victory. Their leader, Naeus, became the seventh Nether King. He reunited the war's belligerents, the pigmen and the wither skeletons, and conquered New Dragonspire. This act established the Nether Empire, which is the first non-Ender nation to gain territory in the End. Afterwards, the empire invaded the Overworld, starting the Nether War. To fulfill the vision of King Tuskarr, who founded the Nether Kingdom by conquering the entire Nether, Naeus launched conquests of the independent kingdoms, which broke away from the Nether Kingdom long ago. Naeus' ultimate goal is to not only restore but surpass the Nether Horde as it was during Tuskarr's reign.
