>In his conquest of Shyish, Nagash hunted down and consumed each of the lesser gods of death and the underworlds over which they held dominion. He stole not only their power but also the souls to whom they once offered sanctuary, expanding his own domain of Nagashizzar and ensuring his reign as the preeminent God of Death. His methods were both subtle and brutal. In the case of Ouboroth, the god-serpent who ruled the underworld of Korbor, he used trickery to starve his rival of worship and then devoured its essence, leaving it as a withered husk of its former self. The Stygxxian gods once ruled from Deific Mons, but Nagash, offering himself as an ally, destroyed them when their guard was down with an overwhelming barrage of sorcery and cast their mountain seat into ruin.
>Thanatar and Morbriarch, the sibling goddesses who sat upon the twin thrones of Termius, were poisoned by an elixir of ageing, and Nagash absorbed what remained of their essence with little effort. The beneficent Hadrax, who guided the souls of his worshippers to the underworld haven of Solace, was doomed by the forces unleashed by the creation of the Shyish Nadir, expiring ninety-nine days after the advent of that calamity. Nagash left almost no deity overlooked in his predations, confining what dregs remained to a cage of perpetual suffering as part of the Shrieking Pantheon. Morrda, however, is said to have escaped torment, but his believers rarely claim such out loud, for Nagash would surely seek the Bleak Raven's demise were there proof that he endured.
