The Story of the Piglins and the Nether

==The Creation of the Nether==
It was a long time ago, but long after the Overworld had been created, and was no longer an empty void, that the Nether dimension was created by Notch. Herobrine had corrupted many of the overworld's inhabitants, and was wreaking havoc throughout the land. But Notch strived to create a perfect world, a pure world without corruption. So he started from an empty void, and created the Nether, a new dimension teeming with life, with warped and crimson forests, majestic basalt deltas, valleys of soul sand and netherrack. 
==The Piglins==
In his new world, Notch created the race of the piglins, who quickly rose to conquer the Nether. They hunted the hoglins that were meant to be hunted, rode the striders that were meant to be ridden, and built with the Blackstone that was meant to be built with. They developed a liking for gold, and soon were wearing full sets of golden armor and were building with Gilded Blackstone. It was the perfect world, and remained that way for many years.
==The Corruption==
But you cannot hide something as large as the creation of an entire dimension from a being as powerful as Herobrine. He heard, he came, and he corrupted. He destroyed forests, flattened mountains, shattered valleys. And worst of all was what he did to the inhabitants of the Nether. He completely killed the hoglins and striders, but gave the piglins an even more terrible fate. He zombified them, and left them to mindlessly roam the netherrack wastes, which were the only things left.
==The Return ==
Eventually, after many many years, Notch returned to the Nether to fix it, and return it to its original state. He regrew the forests, the mountains, and the valleys, and brought back the life, including the piglins. Once again, they ruled the Nether, living in their majestic bastions and hunting the hoglins. But the piglins and bastions of today are nothing like the piglins of the olden days, which is why bastions are now known as Bastion Remnants, for they are only a remnant of what once was.
