When Embishi was fighting the illithid above this world the elves moved in.  They constructed 2 huge rings that would harness the power of the Positive and the negative energy planes and use that power to isolate the Crystal sphere from the rest of the multi-verse.  It worked but had some flaws. First Embishi's spelljammer fleet was unable to leave the sphere after the 2 rings were in place, same with the illithids.  Also a large force of elves where also trapped on the planet, they where the ones who activated the rings.  Now that the rings active anything extrplaner that was not summoned to this world was stuck there. Demons, devils, elementals, celestials were all trapped unable to go home.   This world was not very advanced, humans where living in huts, dwarves are like vickings on this world, farming in small villages and occasionsally raiding the human lands. No native elves, and you standard mix of orcs and such. Also introduced was a powerful group wizards trapped on this planet unable to return home. Well the elves basically got the humans together, taught them magic and used them to help beat the illithid stronghold on this world. The humans then began to advance very fast. Well Embishi was pretty pissed at the elves. They began to help the humans out as well. Also they were helping out the orcs. Embishi also began teaching the orc the art of magic and warfare and after a hundred or so years the Humans and Orcs united and began to fight the elves. Instead of fighting the orcs, humans and The Embishi (what the wizards are now called), the elves exiled themselves from the human world and let them live there own lives. The humans broke up into kingdoms and The Embishi ruled in the backround. Note: The elves destroyed all but one spelljamming helm durning this time. The Embishi are not happy about this. The party found the one helm, gave it to the Embishi, they flew up to a ring and destroyed it, causing a surge of negative and postive energy to combine in the center of the planet causing the cataclysm. The wave of undead is from an unintended side effect of the Negative Energy Ring. When a person died there soul travels breifly through the negative plane, but on this planet they where trapped by the ring. So all the dead for the last 1000 years have been shot back down to the planet.  Most are the weak type, skeletons and zombies, enough will be Vampires, liches and what not.  I hope that makes sense.  Sorry for the novel.</blockquote>
