Despite all he has achieved, Vashtorr has grown dissatisfied with his status. He seeks to become a fifth Chaos God in his own right. To that end, he seeks to fulfill a prophecy involving fragments of the mysterious [[Key (Weapon)|Key]] and entered into an alliance with [[Abaddon the Despoiler]]. His proposal to Abaddon initiated the construction of the [[Ark of Omen|Arks of Omen]] and the [[Arks of Omen Campaign|war involving them]].{{Fn|2}}
During the Arks of Omen Campaign, Vashtorr led his own Ark ''[[Orac Unleashed]]'' in an invasion of [[The Rock]], [[Fortress-Monastery]] of the [[Dark Angels]] and home to a [[The Key|Key-Fragment]]. However his carefully laid plans were spoiled as the Arkifane was on the cusp of victory thanks to the intervention of his hated rival [[Be'lakor]], who suddenly appeared aboard The Rock with a host of his own. Be'lakor's forces were able to stagnate Vashtorr's advance into the Rock long enough for Imperial reinforcements to arrive. Enraged, Vashtorr engaged Be'lakor in a great duel that was largely even, with the Dark Master's shadow-sorcery a match for Vashtorr's technological abilities. However after scolding Vashtorr for his hubris, Be'lakor departed the war zone and seeing his plans were in ruins, Vashtorr quickly left as well. Afterwards, the Arkifane told Abaddon that not all was lost and he began devising a new plan focused around the [[Somnium Stars]].{{Fn|5}}
