House of Xerath
The House of Xerath is a devil nation whose goal is to migrate to the mortal plane and dominate Yyradayn. They believe that Yyradayn is their property and theirs alone, rejecting any compromise or shared territory. They seek to use Plane Melding magic to overlay the Shadow and Mortal planes on one another for the area of Yyadayn and the nearby Shadow Dimension, which would be considered lesser plane melding. Nonetheless, this is a herculean task, and would require far more power than they possess. House Xerath believes they must seize control of all of Yyradayn as well as the portal on the Shadow Dimension side in order to achieve this. Their actual influence is limited to a a few small tribes of various races around the continent, however.
History
The House of Xerath is a recent breakoff from The Hierarchy, having started to distance themselves from it following the The Great Calamity. For the first 1000 years they were mainly focused on gaining influence over tribes on Yyradayn, however they were consistently outcompeted by the other factions. Many of the tribes they gained influence over were later targeted by either the The Watchers or the Cult of Sanomudra, which has made it very difficult for them to actually keep influence over Yyradayn. However, in the past 1000 years they have been able to slowly amass a network of servants, allies, and slaves throughout the continent. Though they still remain the weakest of the four main contenders for Yyradayn, they are no longer as inconsequential as they once were. This in turn makes them even more of a target for their foes due to the lack of coordination or religious direction of their fiefs. Much like on the mortal plane, their efforts to attack the Hierarchy have consistently failed and resulted in setting the faction back rather than gaining them land or influence.
