Long ago, in a mysterious cubic realm, there was an old king of old, loyal to its land and traditions. The kingdom loved him, he was wise and strong, but it's not gold everything that sparkles.
He in fact was very warlike, he wanted to dominate all of his world.
Through a series of campaigns he actually did it, the World was his.
But he wouldn't stop there...
The king started to conquer also the other worlds.
The Nether was the first to fall, its pigmen militia could do nothing against the well organised army of the now emperor Jonders I.
There, they built giant fortresses to defend themselves against the local rebels, composed of the old militia of Chief Wither, ruler of the Nether Dimension.
Through research and testing, the Great Overworld Empire discovered that, through the Nether, they could travel faster and using less materials. With this innovative discovery the Empire's scientists started to create a minecart railway inside the Nether, the Nether Transport System (NTS).
At this point, the king was very old, but he didn't want to die, he wanted to live forever and to expand his Empire to all the known worlds.
All of the Empire's scientists, brewers, mages and redstone engineers immediately abandoned all of their researches to focus on the so-called "Grand Project".
After 3 years of hard work, the potion was ready.
In the meantime, the emperor had a son, Maorekn, which did not like his father becoming immortal, he wanted to be emperor, and started to plot against him.
The emperor wanted to drink the potion in front of the whole Empire, to demonstrate that he was chosen by the gods.
When the emperor brought the bottle to his lips, the cataclysm happened.
A traitor mage, allied with Maorekn casted a spell against the king, killing him instantly and making him drop the potion.
The potion turned everyone into undead, zombies and skeletons.
Prince Maorekn was killed by a zombie later after.
The Empire started to collapse.
Without a leader and with an undead plague, the people were desperate and the Nether colonies fell under the rule of the rebels led by Chief Wither.
