In the closing years of the [[41st Millennium]], the 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 organised 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|11}}

The name and nature of Commorragh are likely inspired by the biblical town of Gomorrah. In a [[Wikipedia:Sodom_and_GomorrahSodom and Gomorrah#Biblical_narrativeBiblical narrative|Biblical tale]], Gomorrah was one of the five towns of the Pentapolis and was destroyed along with Sodom after God smote it with fire and brimstone, on account of it being wicked.
