AstheChaosinvasionstrulyset abouttheirtaskofdestroyingand enslavingentirecivilisations,itwasthe ShadowlandsofUlguthatperhapsfelt theleastrepercussions.Khorne,Nurgle andTzeentchalldevotedthegreater portionoftheirforcestodierent realms,andtheminionsthatweresent intoUlguboastednoneofthemost fearfulgreaterdaemoncommanders.
