Commorragh suffered another invasion in 227.[[M38]], this time at the hands of [[Orks]] under the [[Warboss]] and [[Weirdboy]] [[Zoggit]]. Zoggit led his forces through a [[Webway]] rift, emerging in the Commorrite port of Blackblood. The hundreds of thousands of Orks rampage throughout parts of the city until the local [[Kabal]]s are able to isolate and destroy each individual mob piece by piece. Commorragh suffered heavy damage during the battle, with several districts destroyed. However the Dark Eldar still managed to benefit from the attack, using 10,000 captured Greenskins for a grand gladiatorial spectacle in the [[Wych]] arenas.{{Fn|1d}}
In the closing years of the [[41st Millennium]], the birth partial awakening of [[Ynnead]] via [[Yvraine]] within Commorragh created a catastrophic [[Dysjunction]]. The event destabilized much of the Dark City and opened [[Khaine's Gate]], forcing Vect to retreat to his outposts while the city falls into anarchy. As [[Daemon]]ic incursions become commonplace, [[Kheradruakh]] managed to open a portal to the realm of the [[Mandrake]]s, transforming a large part of the city into his lair. [[Wych Cult]]s, [[Kabals]], and [[Haemonculus Coven]]s battle for supremacy amid the chaos.{{Fn|5}}
As Commorragh faced being overrun by Daemons, Vect organized a massive army led by the [[Incubi]] and [[Battle for Khaine's Gate|counterattacked at Khaine's Gate]]. With his new army, Vect's attack was able to corral the Daemons into the sub-realm containing the gaping hole that was Khaine's Gate before being severed from the rest of Commorragh, becoming known as the [[Chasm of Woe]]. However the Daemons kept coming, rising from the massive abscesses created within the city. This forces Vect to plunge more districts of the city into sub-dimensions, taking entire armies and masses of slaves with them.{{Fn|6a}} Since then, Commorragh has been sundered into [[Dark Eldar Civil War|Civil War]] as Vect's forces seek to quell [[Ynnari]] influence within the Dark City.{{Fn|8}} In desperation, some in Commorragh have turned to the [[Black Throne]] project.{{Fn|15}}
