Editing Slaves to Darkness (section)

====Soul Wars====
The completion of Nagash's grand ritual led to the Necroquake reverberating across the realms, though the thankful intervention of some Skaven led to the ritual not working quite as intended. It did end up raising the dead en masse across the realms begining the titled Soul Wars by Nagash. This ended up turning out quite badly for the Slaves to Darkness tribes as it led to all the dead peoples they butchered during the Age of Chaos to return with a vengeance against them. The chaos hordes spent the itital attacks of the Soul Wars getting battered by the raised dead and newly created Nighthaunt Processions. Their forces in Shyish were greatly reduced in Shish thanks to Nagash's counter assualt, though they did claim some victories, with the Chaos warlord Thur almost managing to destroy the Mortarch Olyander with a summoned Bloodthirter, though she was ultimately saved by the arrival of Arkhan and Nagash.

With the dead rising to compound Sigmars forces, Archaon decided that he needed all the allies he could get and tasked the Gaunt Summoners with locating the missing god Slaanesh. And that they did. Archaon and his army managed to fight through to Slaanesh's prison, with Archaon finding Slaanesh imprisoned. Though he didn't appreciate the gods mocking tone he set about freeing them, even managing to destroy one of the chains holding them at bay. However, he was forced to return to the Eightpoints before completing as his home base had come under attack by the Ossairch Legions of the newly freed Mortarch Katakros and Lady Olyander (the latter even slaying the chaos lord Namon Saskarid who Archaon had left in charge), with only a few Chaos Lords such as Marakarr Blood-Sky still holding back the death legions. Knowing he would have to locate Slaanesh again as the Aelves would inevitably move the prison, he reluctantly headed back home. Though the death army had made some ground in the Eightpoints, as soon as Archaon and his main army returned the death forces were quickly routed. Even bolstered by the arrival of Be'lakor and further reinforcements. Ultimately the Death army was annilated Lady Olyander was struck down by Be'lakor and Kataros personally slain by Archaon in a duel.

The Death forces retained control of the All-gate to Shyish, but Archaon ultimately didn't care all that much. He didn't consider the Death forces a threat to him in the grand scheme of things and simply let the local chaos lords keep them contained until he decided to deal with them himself. He instead turned his attention to his latest scheme to enter Azyr.
