Believing him too powerful, Pall had Chial interred in an oubliette and shipped to [[Rhen Var]], where he remained entombed for almost four thousand years.<ref name="Zenith">{{PlainLink|https://archiveofourown.org/works/48648154 ''Dark Days I: Zenith''}}</ref>

Later freed by [[Darth Ruin]], Chial's physical body was unbound from his tomb by [[Darth Cinder]].<ref name="Zenith" /> With the assistance of Cinder and her apprentices, Chial reclaimed his redoubt on [[Ziost]] and spurred his dormant [[Chialists|cult]] to arms.<ref name="Perihelion">''Dark Days II: Perihelion''</ref>
