Ender King's Raid

The Ender King's Raid is the first mayor event to happen in the Season 4 Hardcore lore. The events are shown in NetherVoid, where multiple floating ships approached the Quartress through a giant portal; The Old-Growth Taiga biome, as of now unavailable; and FlowerFall, which was completely overhauled by Rose, The Flower Deity.

## Prior to the Raid

Before the raid, the Ender King was a powerful leader. Like the endermen, he too had the capability of thought and crafting. No matter the origin, whether descendant of Ancient Builders or Original to The End, his power and skill earned the respect of his kin and allowed him to become the king of the dimension.

Of course, with such power comes great risk; becoming a ruthless dictator. With the amassed power of the End Cities, Endermen and Ender Dragons, the Ender King's thirst for power grew further. Eventually, when Phil came and Destroyed the Ender Dragon 20 goddamned times, the King had enough. He wanted to have possession over all Dimensions, becoming the centre of all. The Alpha and Omega; the beginning and The End.

### The Raid of The Quartress

The Blaze Empress’s Quartress was one of the locations that the Ender King felt the need to conquer, gaining control over The Nether. The raid began with the utter acquisition of the Blaze Empress’s Land, the Nether Fortress around the Quartress. The area was completely engulfed in the Ender King's unnamed teleportation technique and Replaced with a Void Square. It is also around this time that He and She presumably were separated, leaving the swing at The Quartress abandoned.

At this point, the Blaze Empress must’ve been aware of what had been transpiring around her, judging as the Nether Fortress she commanded was absolutely eradicated and now surrounding her was just a black block of void. It is then that Nether Portals were opened inside the Void Cube, letting in a fleet of End Ships to take over The Quartress. In hindsight, it can be determined that The End Ships' tribulations were killed and the End Ships claimed by warped fungus, with Zombie Piglins as the new tribulation of the ships.

### The Raid of the Ocean Monument

By this point, The Ender King had successfully obtained some mayor landmarks around the dimensions. Of course, the partial defeat at the hands of The Blaze Empress had left a sour taste in the King's mouth, but that was about to change. As of then, The Ocean Overlord had barely any involvement in the Ender King's plans. The Ocean Overlord was practically left to his own devices, which was soon about to change.

Whilst the Ocean Overlord was presumably sleeping, The Ender King struck, making a Nether Portal beneath the monument. This was the begining of the end for The Ender King's takeover. Endermen cried out in pain as the main End Island became home of an acidic water bath. The Ender King survived, his throne room being a safe space as much for the stolen lands as himself. Although he gained the monuments of his piers, he had betrayed their trust for his own greed.

## Aftermath

What now remains of The End islands is how it once was before the Ender King's reign. For more information, see Endlantis and FlowerFall.
