Personal history

When the underworld was born, so was Zhaos. He was created by Unos to watch over this realm, to survey this grim alternative destination for lost souls to go. It was an isolated realm, one of which only spirits could truly pass on to, a nothingness to those who could not make it to the gates of heaven. Thus, Zhaos tried to make this world something of his own. He created denizens of his own to inhabit this world, but they were wicked, horrific and vile in design. Everything he made was twisted in a strange way, he lacked the powers to make this underworld a paradise.   Over time, he decided to experiment with his magic, trying to make use of the souls that wandered into this realm. Found that he could extrac t power from them, a power to which he gifted to his creations, a technology unlike anything they've ever seen, and entirely their own. They labeled this profession soulsmithing, a work that took the ectoplasm with the use of the Netherine crystals he created to make technological advancements.   But this wasn't enough, Zhaos wanted more than just this realm. He got to work trying to see if he could find a way to send his forces to the realm the souls originated from, to which through his power he was able to find a way to enter the realm of Talor.   Seeing this new realm as a conquest to be made, he took his forces to take over the realm for himself, sending the demons into this realm to take it over. The deities struck back, trying to fight back against Zhaos's invasion. They blesssed their own heroes to strike back against this invasion, taking several vessels to fight back against him.   There was a bloody clash that went on for 20 years, they built the town of Brimstone as their bastion in this world, but eventually the realm of Talor came to the underworld to plunge a sword through Zhaos's chest, sealing him away in his castle before locking him away in his realm and destroying most of the soldiers of his realm. Now Zhaos lays imprisoned with holy magic, keeping him chained in the realm of the underworld as the survivors of his soldiers are trapped in an unknown realm without his aid.
