*[[Forum:Vothriks' Faction|Vothriks' Faction]]

Moments after taking over Auradon, Kirito and Asuna set up countless programs and [[SIVA]] networks from his computer that the Pyramids used to rebuild Aincrad as they saw fit and split up the Shadow Army into its six respective groups: the [[Forum:House of Shadows|House of Shadows]], led by [[Forum:Kotrik, Bloodcrafter of Kirito|Kotrik, Bloodcrafter of Kirito]], the notorious [[Fallen]] [[Kell]] of Shadows who formerly worked with the [[House of Devils]]; the [[Forum:Shadow Swarm|Shadow Swarm]], led by [[Forum:Zharves, Shadowcaster of Kirito|Zharves, Shadowcaster of Kirito]], a surviving [[Hive]] [[Deathsinger]] who formerly served [[Crota, Son of Oryx|Crota]] and [[Oryx, the Taken King|his father]]; the [[Forum:Shadow Divisive|Shadow Divisive]], led by [[Forum:Hydrax, Mindkiller of Kirito|Hydrax, Mindkiller of Kirito]], a massive [[Vex Mind]] [[Hydra]] who possessed the ability to stop time; the [[Forum:Shadow Legion|Shadow Legion]], led by [[Forum:Gha'arn, Crownforger of Kirito|Gha'arn, Crownforger of Kirito]], a powerful [[Cabal]] warlord who helped restore the Cabal Empire to its full glory; the [[Forum:The Reborn|Reborn]], led by [[Forum:Thu'urg, Blightmaker of Kirito|Thu'urg, Blightmaker of Kirito]], a [[Taken]] [[Cabal]] commander who sought to seize control of Oryx's army; and the [[Forum:Cult of Shadows|Cult of Shadows]], led by [[Forum:Vayeriks, Fatesmith of Kirito|Vayeriks, Fatesmith of Kirito]], [[Fikrul]]'s right hand and a commander of the first [[Scorn]].

===Ahnkra's Campaign===

{{Quote|So, it seems that one of [[Forum:Viznoor, the Black|Vizzy]]'s precious servants turned traitor and joined up with that stupid brat and his boot-licking army. That rat bastard Ahnkra's been tearing up the [[Tangled Shore|Shore]] with a resurrected army of brainwashed soldiers. A trick he picked up from [[Xivu Arath, God of War|Xivu Arath]], I assume. Anyhow, the Shitkeepers are gonna be even more of a problem now that they have knowledge of the [[Forum:Stygian Brood|Stygian Brood]]'s special blend of necromancy, so....you know what to do. Time to take out the garbage.|[[UserWiki:Vothriks, the Lost|Vothriks, the Lost]]}}

Some time after the War of Dimensions between AJ and the Shadowkeepers, the [[Forum:Stygian Brood|Stygian Brood]] fell under attack by Kirito and Asuna and their army. While most remained loyal to [[Forum:Viznoor, the Black|Viznoor]] despite the damage they suffered, a few did defect to Kirito's army, among them being [[Forum:Ahnkra, Devoted to Zharves|Ahnkra, the Desolate]], who viewed the swordsman as "the true pillar of strength." Ahnkra pledged absolute loyalty to Kirito's cause and the [[Forum:Zharves, Shadowcaster of Kirito|Shadowcaster]], and shared his knowledge of the Stygian Brood's necromancy and the method they used to free themselves of their [[Worm]]s. Setting up a base deep within the [[Tangled Shore]], Ahnkra then began replicating [[Xivu Arath, God of War|Xivu Arath]]'s method in resurrecting a wide array of previously slain foes from Fallen, Cabal and other sects of Hive and corrupting them into his mindless servants, effectively creating the Shadow Army's sect of [[Wrathborn]], the [[Forum:Shadowkeepers (Paradox)#Shadow Ravagers|Shadow Ravagers]].

In the following days, Ahnkra would launch repeated strikes against the Stygian Brood while adding more to the Shadow Ravagers' ranks from across the system. Furious, Viznoor rallied his brood to stage a counterattack on Ahnkra's forces, leading to a violent large-scale conflict between the Shadow Swarm and the Stygian Brood amidst the Tangled Shore. Sometime after the skirmishes began, Ahnkra began preparing a ritual to infest the Tangled Shore with Darkness in Kirito's name, which a Fireteam, led by a wandering Guardian, would discover when they were sent to investigate the Hive activity. Working with Viznoor and his forces, they managed to break through the Shadow Army's defenses; however, before they could have the chance to stop the ritual from being completed, the crew would be slaughtered by Ahnkra, forcing Viznoor's forces to retreat. Moments after discovering that one of the Guardians slain by Ahnkra was in fact a friend of her, [[Forum:Hannah Ciel|Hannah Ciel]] went to her friend's last spot on the Tangled Shore and fought a harrowing battle against Ahnkra. However, just when Ahnkra was about to slaughter her, she is saved by [[Eris Morn]], who sends a series of brutal attacks against Ahnkra, who is forced to retreat, but not before vowing revenge on Eris. Astonished by Eris's daring effort, she would eventually work under Eris's tutelage and help forge a powerful weapon of Light known as the [[Forum:Silent Scream|Silent Scream]], her personal [[Scout Rifle]] that combined [[Symmetry (weapon)|Symmetry]] with both [[Void]] energy and Hive runes, which she would soon use against the Hive.
