Through the ritualistic machination of the Hive Wizard [[Mormu, Xol Spawn]], the Hive would unleash a calamity bred since the days of the [[Great Disaster]]: [[Phogoth, the Untamed]], a massive [[Ogre]] made for destruction. Because of his savage nature, Phogoth was kept alive through foul rituals of rebirth and chained up in the Summoning Pits.
