Legend
Although history forgot their name, there once was three wise Kings who rules over their respective kingdom, until a powerful High King came and forced them under his rule. The Kings were allowed to rule their land, but had to pay a great amount of tributes, which brought harm and suffering upon their people. The Kings sought power to overthrow, or at least free themselves from the rein of the High King.
Their quest for power lead them to dark insight, which lead them to the abyss, which lead them to the Outer Reaches of the Cosmos. Using the power they acquired from the Outer Reaches their body became twisted and wraith-like, their mind soon followed and soon they preyed on their very kingdom, turning their knights into their agent of destruction. Their quest for freedom and peace turned into a quest for knowledge and power and brought great ruin upon the world.
The High King, unable to defeat them beseech the Gods for help. While the Gods could not fight or comprehend the power of the Outer Reaches, they called great cataclysm on the Underking's Kingdom, forcing them to retreat into the dark void that cradled their new form. Cut from the mortal world, the Underkings' body became more and more like the dark void until they finally faded.
