If you read my stronghold story, you'll know what to expect.
In ancient times, around the same time as the EnderMan Society (see my story of strongholds), was a primitive race known as the Homo Porcine or Pigmen. They lived in smallish tribes, often just below deserts. Most of their technology was stolen from other races, but they did have one truly astonishing invention, the blaze rod. This simple piece of brass could used to control heat and fire, and was used by many pyromancers of their kind, as a weapon t support their swordsmen.
Other races regarded the pigmen as witches or Heathens as rumours told that the rod was given to them by demons of the Nether. The other races were wrong in part, the blaze rod was their own invention and they didn't worship the nether demons, but they longed to see this hellish place, as it supposedly contained great minerals. Being natural miners, they dug lower every year, and eventually found obsidian and used it to decorate the houses of the rich. One day, one such house caught fire and its obsidian door was transformed into a purple, hellish vortex.
The owner, the head of his town, jumped at this opportunity, the gates of hell were open to him! Much like the Enderman Society, a team was sent in (only it was larger and the group had to pay... a lot). Unlike the Society, the team was successful, bringing home many mysterious elements. Now this town was the richest of any pig tribe, the head took his underlings to the nether and had a large castle built leading up to the ceiling, under the lava sea and across for miles.
Slowly other tribes tried to live in the new kingdom, but were killed or imprisoned. This lead to the kingdom creating guardians, by using Blaze rods and capturing demons, they were able to create powerful, flying, flame throwing robots who could never die as the Society's spawners were stolen. The guards could defend the castle from all who might ruin the kingdom, be they pigmen, ghast or demon. Along with guards, the portal was also destroyed as to stop intruders. Though, these guards were powerful, they could not stop other tribes from building their own portals, now that they knew how. Other tribes built their own castles in other parts of the nether.
All the tribes were happy now (though very few remained in the overworld), but they eventually they were struck by a disease that rotted their bodies and turned them to living corpses. This didn't affect their mind at first, but gradually their brains were affected, they were still sentient, but the kingdoms crumbled, the castles were abandoned and the pigmen were reduced to roaming nomads. Now the only inhabitants of hell who remember the once great kingdoms are the guards (colloquially known as blazes) who still do their duty, but the location of the first castle is now lost completely.
Please only helpful criticism, some of this ties in to strongholds.

No, there has never, ever been a sandbox game with a story or ending... except Grand Theft Auto... and Saints Row... and Red Dead Redemption... and Crack Down... and Assassins Creed...
