Adm'rul Kurgan had wandered the Great Oubliette of Shyish for longer than he
could remember. A continent-sized underworld of dank cells and ice-cold
dungeons, towering mausoleums and layer upon layer of crypts. In his entire
time there, he never saw another soul.
So the Adm'rul was frustrated - he held Da Kutlass and Deeptoof ready for a
fight that never came. He explored endlessly but could never map anywhere.
Worst of all; there was nothing to drink.

As battle had raged through the Prime Innerlands during the Dread Solstice,
Nagash cast ever more enemies into his Great Oubliette. Warlords and
warriors alike tumbled helplessly down hissing wells of grey sand, before
plunging into the deeper darkness below. They staggered to their feet amidst
endless stone corridors and whispering walls of shadow.
In his arrogance, distracted and set off balance by the sheer amount of foes
hurling themselves at him from every side, Nagash had erred. More and more
armed warriors mass in the corridors and halls of the oubliette until at
last its guardians cannot hold them back. War raged through halls that had
known only silence for thousands of years. Weapons of such arcane power were
unleashed that the wardings of the oubliette could not withstand them.

So Kaptain Mogrum and the Cleavermaws plotted a rescue. The guardians
of the Oubliette could not watch every entrance since Nagash had opened so
many new gateways and the defensive wardings were greatly reduced in power.
The Cleavermaws planned to break into the Oubliette, find the Adm'rul and
escape with him.
The first part of their plan was complete - they had gathered half-a-dozen Endless Spells and bound them into the Dead Man's Chest. They would use
the power of the spells to break open a gateway to the underworld where the
Adm'rul was held captive!
