„*From within the fires of the Nether realm, an army was send to conquer the Overworld. They vanquished the kingdoms and people of Ardonia, as they spread across the world. But they were not to remain unchallenged.*”
— Thalleous Sendaris reading the scripts on the Walls of Time

The **Nether Invasion** was an aggressive act on the Overworld of Ardonia.

The conflict was a prelude to the The Great War.

## History

The Nether was gathering its forces for a long time to conquer another dimension of Ardonia. Massive forces commanded by King Chronos' most trusted aides and warlords (include Pythus), entered the overworld. Kingdoms were ambushed and weren't prepared for such a great-scale invasion.

The world of Humans, Felinas and Magnorites had no defenses against such a powerful force. The Nether was approaching wave by wave, fortifying its backward positions and successfully conquering enemy posts. The most affected kingdom was that of Hydraphel, whose capital Hyperia was totally destroyed and burned down. Nether forces also appeared on the lands of Cydonia.

The Nether Army was almost unstoppable but, at this time of the invasion, the people of Ardonia gathered some support. King Rendor and the Ender Knights joined the battle to bring the Nether forces back to the Nether. The Ender Knights were a challenging opponent to the Nether; however, the Ender Knights were not enough to stop the **Nether Invasion**, and the Ender Knight forces were defeated in a great battle, forcing them to regroup.

Because the Overworldians suffered many losses, the people of Ardonia urged the Ardoni to wield Prime Songs to combat the Nether Army. The Ardoni Clans agreed, and they held a tournament to deem a champion worthy of wielding the power of the four Prime Songs. After many battles, the champion was found. As the masters of the Ardoni Clans presented the Prime Songs, the champion revealed himself to be Ingressus Voltaris, the leader of the Voltaris Clan, who had been banished from Old Voltaria long ago due to abuse of the Prime Songs.

At night, while the masters of the clans debated their next actions, Ingressus massacred several Ardoni, burnt Ardoni villages, and, one at a time, sought to claim all four Prime Songs. However, the Nestoris clan, lead by Aegus Nestoris, successfully defended the Prime Song from Ingressus Voltaris.

With Ingressus' return, the Voltaris clan also returned from its exile. Even with the power of the Voltaris clan, Ingressus knew he could not fight against the rest of Ardonia without an ally, so Ingressus travelled to the Nether and met with King Chronos. After negotiation, they agreed to form an alliance and conquer Ardonia together. The formation of the alliance with the Voltaris and the Nether marked the beginning of The Great War.
