The Divine Warriors put The Shadow Lord's powers, and some of their own, into relics, one for each warrior.īefore Aphmau came to the world of Minecraft Diaries, the world was ruled by an evil king who waged a war against wyvern kind. His physical form was destroyed, and his spirit was sent back to the Nether and trapped there. The war lasted for over 300 years until, about 900 years ago, a group of five people, the other Divine Warriors, came and were able to rise against and defeat the Shadow Lord.
This war has since become known as the War of the Magi. The lords of some of the villages that opposed the Shadow Lord's rule launched a full-scale war against the him and his armies. With his Shadow Knights, he invaded the Overworld, attempting to take it over.
Turned by anger, he began to amass great power and created an army known as the Shadow Knights. About 1,000 years after being banished, he took on the title of The Shadow Lord and was able to leave the Nether. Over 5,000 years prior to the start of this series, a former Divine Warrior named Shad was banished to the dimension known as the Nether.
