-In [[Ends of Empire]], for [[Wraith: The Oblivion]], the final [[Great Maelstrom]] of the [[World of Darkness (Old)|Old World of Darkness]] is unique, caused entirely by events in the [[Underworld (oWOD)|Underworld]] rather than the [[Skinlands]].  Metaphysically, it is the most important event in the World of Darkness until the [[Time of Judgement]], even eclipsing the [[Week of Nightmares]].

-The Maelstrom occurred in [[1999 (oWOD)|1999]] ([[Anno Stygiae]] 54 Post [[Fifth Great Maelstrom|Quintum]]) during the assault on Stygia by the [[Yellow Springs]], the underworld of Asia and the empire of [[Yu Huang]].  The soldiers of the [[Dark Kingdom of Jade]], with the treasonous aid of the [[Smiling Lord]] assaulted major Stygian strongholds throughout the West, with the [[Hierarchy]] barely holding on only due to the bravery of its defenders and the extremely shoddy equipment Yu Huang had manufactured in bulk for the assault.

-The Stygian military at the time was partly paralyzed, due to much of the Stygian navy laying siege to [[Enoch (city)|Enoch]].  This siege had been implemented through subtle manipulation of [[Stygia (oWOD)|Stygia]]n society by the [[Ferryman|Ferrymen]], who in turn were fulfilling an ancient debt to [[Anubis]], the grave god of [[Amenti]].  To the [[Undying]], Amenti was an obscenity, and its destruction a major victory in the eternal struggle between [[Horus]], [[Osiris]] and [[Set]].  The Hierarchy sieged Enoch for several weeks until they finally used a [[Relic (WTO)|relic]] nuclear weapon to destroy the city.
-At the same time, in the [[Labyrinth]], a [[Void Engineer]], [[Xerxes Jones]], prepared his greatest experiment: detonation of a nuclear device in the mouth of [[Oblivion (oWOD)|Oblivion]]. Interesting idea, bad timing.
-The result was the most potent physical and spiritual destruction in the history of the Underworld.  The carnage led the labyrinth to vomit forth armies of [[Spectre (WTO)|Spectre]]s under the control of the infamous [[Nephwrack]], [[Coldheart]].  These armies in turn assaulted the [[Isle of Sorrows]], Stygian outposts, soldiers of the Yellow Springs, anyone they could find.  Stygian society buckled under the strain.
-And then [[Charon]], absent since [[1945 (oWOD)|1945]], returned, only to [[Transcendence|Transcend]] almost immediately after beating back the spectral horde.  Stygia, both the city and the society collapsed, the Yellow Springs retreated after taking damage far beyond their worst-case expectations, and the Shroud thundered as hundreds of spirits were thrown out of the Underworld and back into the skinlands (accounting for large numbers of ghosts and [[risen]] encountered by the [[Imbued (oWOD)|Imbued]] and the [[Orpheus Group]]).  The Underworld was now enveloped in a storm of indescribable fury which continued until the end of the world.
