The third Ravnica 'block' returned for three sets, to conclude the final battle with Nicol Bolas, taking place as the War of the Spark, on the plane of Ravnica. This article encompassed the sets Guilds of Ravnica, Ravnica Allegiance, and War of the Spark, to form a pseudo-block, showcasing this story across three sets of Magic.
The stories of this block were muddled, released in confusing order, and culminated in a novel which received heavy criticism.
We have published the emailed stories of The Gathering Storm, by Django Wexler, which kick off the main story.
Guild of Ravnica and Ravnica Allegiance Side Stories:
These stories were short tales of the lives of various characters living their lives in Ravnica. They often interact with the guilds, and represent different perspectives than those characters facing the highest challenges with the world and plane. This all occurs simultaneously or before the Gathering Storm.
With the stage set from The Gathering Storm, the plot for the main war mainly took place in the War of the Spark novel. The novel showed how the planar beacon was turned on and drew hundreds of planeswalkers to the plane. The plan involved multiple portions: Tezzeret used the planar bridge to transport the Lazotep zombie army to Ravnica to kill planeswalkers, with Liliana controlling them as Zombies. Dovin Baan maintained the Immortal Sun artifact taken from Ixalan, which prevents planeswalkers from leaving the world. Domri Rade was tasked with disrupting the guilds, something he desired anyway through the Gruul Clan. Nicol Bolas had also found "The Elder Spell" on Dominaria, which could harvest a planeswalker's spark, the goal was to gain as many planeswalker sparks as possible, and re-ascend with enough power of an old-walker, godlike in power.
The walkers and guilds of Ravnica joined together with the Gatewatch to subdue each of the elements, from Beacon, to Sun, to Bridge. Then they found that Liliana could not bear that she had betrayed the Gatewatch, and sent the zombie army after Bolas himself. Breaking her contract meant her death, but Gideon stood with her and absorbed her contract energy, dying in her place. Meanwhile, a plan by Ugin (possibly using the powers of Ashiok and Narset), found the Meditation Realm plane, and once Nicol Bolas' spark was removed, Ugin transported both body and spark to the Meditation Realm, erasing Bolas' memory, trapping him there indefinitely, thus ending the War of the Spark.
War of the Spark Trailer:
There is also an aftermath novel: War of the Spark: Forsaken. However, much of the book's content has been retconned, and the book was terribly received. Wizards even put out a statement about a character's portrayal, apologizing. This caused even this author to stop reading Magic lore for some time.
Finally, there are side stories from the character, Rat, in War of the Spark, that weave through the first novel.
As this was a low point in Magic story, not for amount of content, but for quality, we may have missed some things. Let us know in the comments what might be missing.
With the new Kamigawa set releasing in January 2022, we're excited to be able to catalog some of the new lore and history for the plane. It has been 1200 years in lore since the original Kamigawa block of sets, and so we present some of what has occurred and the lore of the set as it releases! This blog catalogs all the lore, story, videos, manga, official AMV, official soundtrack, and more released by Wizards of the Coast, plus guides and content using official materials made by fans.

History
During the original Kamigawa block, three novels were released to tell the stories. However, many side stories (and some told after the Kami War) were released. Here is an archive of them. The novels were all following the life and story of Toshio Umezawa, concluding with his actions helping end the Kami war, and start the path towards the modern age.
Official Trailer:
There is also a plot synopsis at the end of this article, for the Neon Dynasty, with Implications for the future story.
Neon History - Saga Stories
The Kami War was several thousand years ago. It ended with the death of Emperor Takeshi Konda, bringing Michiko Konda (with Kyodai) to the Throne.
The Life of Toshiro Umezawa. A story of Toshio's journeys, and battle with Kami and Emperor alike, he was key in the end of the Kami War. At the end, his patron, the Myojin of Nights Reach, found a portal and sent Toshiro to
the subcontinent Madara on Dominaria, thousands of years in the past of the current age.
The Dragon-Kami Reborn. In the time after the Kami war, many of the Dragon-Kami had perished. During the Shattered States Era, they built a plan to be reborn in new forms.
Era of Enlightenment. In this Era,
realizing the Kami plane and the Mortal Plane were starting to overlap,
the Jukai found a way to welcome the Kami to the conjoined worlds.
This is your guide to all the organizations, social structure, physical locations, and regions of Kamigawa. There is some history of the Champions era, but it shows how the history has also updated to this cybernetic world in 1200 years since then.
Map of Kamigawa during the Kami War (1200 years before the current era, Champions of Kamigawa Block)
Map of Current Kamigawa, in the Neon Dynasty, present day.
Other articles and lore guides:
The sagas of Kamigawa - showing all the special artwork and history from Champions to Neon Dynasty.
The sagas also are the living portrayal of the history and characters of Kamigawa. From the rules article: "The Sagas also feature two new icons. The Living Historians is a group
of storytellers on Kamigawa that pass on tradition through performance
and music. You'll see several of them in the set, often using fans in
their routines, so we felt that was a beautiful choice to represent the
telling of these stories. On each front face, you'll see a closed fan.
On the back face, the fan has opened, representing the conclusion of the
tale, and if things are going well, the conclusion of your opponent's
tale as well.". So the enchantment creatures on the back of Saga cards in this set are living actors, embodying the historical characters in a story, much like Kabuki theater of Japan.

Ten years ago, Kaito was training to be an Imperial, when he met the Emperor of Kamigawa. Growing to be friends with her, his training would be sparring with her in combat. Yet one night, an intruder invaded Eiganjo, and Kyodai was disturbed thereafter (the spirit of the realm for the Spirit realm semi-plane), and the Emperor was missing. Kaito chased a man with a metal arm across the roofs, yet he escaped. Kaito swore he would find her.
Nine years ago: Kaito's origin, and meeting with Tameshi.
In present Day, Kaito has sought the Emperor across multiple worlds and all over Kamigawa, with no success. He learns from his Sister that his trusted Moonfolk friend Tameshi, may have been meeting with a man with a metal arm in secret, despite knowing Kaito's quest. He investigates and spies on his friend, and learns far worse, Jin-Gitaxias was the true mastermind behind capturing Kami, the disruption ten years ago, and that they murder his friend Tameshi just before he arrives to their secret lab in flames. Tameshi, dying, tells Kaito the name he has sought: Tezzeret.
Kaito seeks evidence of a Ratling Village being destroyed by extra-planar forces and Tezzeret, and meets Tamiyo, who has adopted the only survivor of that day. Together they discuss the dangers of Tezzeret, and in a rush, Kaito investigates Tameshi's lab, taking the strongest invention- the reality chip from it, before being discovered by Jin-Gitaxias. He is chased by hired ninja - but saved from a mech attack, by 'The Wanderer', who is, indeed, the Emperor herself.
The Wanderer/Emperor could not control her planeswalking, due to the attack ten years ago by Tezzeret, and Tamiyo and Kaito theorize that the Reality Chip might stabilize her walking. However, Tezzeret has organized an attack on Eiganjo. The Wanderer will protect the capitol, and Kaito and Tamiyo will investigate and blow up the lab. However, it's a trap, and Jin and Tezzeret capture them. The Wanderer joins again with Kyodai, and manages to do a controlled planeswalk to the lab, freeing her friends and capturing Tezzeret, defeating Jin-Gitaxias.
They try to bring the captured Tezzeret to Kyodai to question him, but he reveals even trapped, he can control metal and technology. Tamiyo equips the Reality Chip, and they rush to the battle to help the Emperor, and Kaito defeats Tezzeret by stripping off his technology, and smashing Tezzeret with a rock. However, as a last resort, Tezzeret activates the Reality Chip on Tamiyo, grabs her, and planeswalks away. Kaito assists the Emperor, and they are victorious. However, her planeswalking is unstable again, so she appoints a regent, and vanishes, in sorrow. Kaito now has two quests, to find Tamiyo, and the Wanderer.
In Phyrexia, Jin-Gitaxias is joyous in his compleation of Taimyo, the first Phyrexian walker.
Repercussions and future story
Several things are important about this Kamigawa story, not only the compleation of a planeswalker by Phyrexia. There are several points that tie into the story from other areas, and should be mentioned.
Nashi, Tamiyo's adopted son, is a bit older than when last seen after the first Theros block. He is more active and enthusiastic seeming, but still avoids the history of his family.
Tied to that, Tezzeret sent Jace and Baltrice to Kamigawa and they ended up burning down that village around 5 years ago.
Tezzeret completed the planar bridge back in Kaladesh, which is likely around 2 years ago, since events from the Amonkhet, War of the Spark, Eldraine, Theros Beyond Death, Ikoria, Zendikar Rising, Kaldheim, Strixhaven, and Innistrad 3 have all occurred recently. So he is perfecting it. We're not sure if he took Tamiyo through the planar gate, or just forced her to planeswalk with him using the Reality Chip. Remember too, the gate cannot transport organic life/material, successfully.
Kyodai, who is the core spirit of the Spirit realm (sub-plane) on Kamigawa, connects with Emperors. However, since the Wanderer left the plane, she has been in distress. It's unclear what that means.
Tezzeret, upon seeing Tamiyo compleated, is not... thrilled. He is not compleat by the Phyrexians, and has in the past been given a protection by Bolas' agent to it. He likely does not want to see more planeswalkers compleat, as this would make him less useful to Phyrexia. We do not know what his true objectives are, since Bolas is defeated and he is free.
Kaito is seeking both Tamiyo and the Wanderer now - but seems to have no connection to Tamiyo's story circle of planeswalkers, nor to the Gatewatch. However, Tezzeret and the Wanderer mention having heard about his seeking. So it's a mystery on whom he will encounter next.
"To
clarify a bit of lore about Phyrexia and the Planeswalker Spark: the
spark is NOT an immunity to compleation (or Phyrexianization). That is
fanon - Elspeth, Koth, Venser, and Tezzeret all required other
immunizations to Glistening Oil. Oldwalkers,
that is pre-mending walkers, were immune because they essentially chose
their own form. Makes it hard to compleat someone when they can just
say “actually, no, I look like a gazebo instead”.
This drove Yawgmoth crazy. He thought there was a planeswalking organ. So
the idea that Planeswalkers are immune is a garbling of oldwalker lore
and statements about how Phyrexians can’t be planeswalkers. The
latter bit is because Phyrexians, by their nature, are soulless.
They’re artifact/necromantic hybrid abominations.
Old Phyrexia literally implanted their vat born newts with powerstones
that sucked out their souls, called heartstones. It was a whole thing. Compleating
a planeswalker would make them lose the thing that allowed them to
planeswalk, their soul. The spark is a touch of the Blind Eternities on
the soul.
Up until now, New Phyrexia literally didn’t even understand the concept
of souls. Enter the Neon Dynasty story. Jin-Gitaxias has cracked the problem by studying spirits made manifest.
Now that he has, he’s come up with a solution … and Viola! Behold, perfection!
Since I’m sure this will keep coming up, Venser transferred Melira’s
metaphysical immunity to compleation to Karn with his spark. It wasn’t
just the spark."

Hanweir is a small town on the plane of Innistrad, and during the Travails, culminating with the rise of Emrakul on the plane, the entire town was corrupted. Here is the tale, told in blogs, snippits, mailings to streamers, and news, on the fate of every inhabitant of the town. The history of Magic visiting Hanweir began in the first Innistrad block, with the AR game following Cathar Raben Amsel, and the short sword, the Bloodletter.
This blog is putting the Hanweir Chronicle events in correct order, for readers to experience the change of the township in the Shadows over Innistrad. You can read the original posts on the original page.
The Hanweir Chronicle is the newspaper printed in Hanweir. Led by Editor in Chief, Oliver Hayfield
Headline: Town of Hanweir declares itself Sovereign Province
Box #1:
“Deben ser fundidos. El armero necesita plata para el armamento del
techo y la cima del muro. Se puede tomar éstos a él? Gracias - Oliver
Hayfield”
Translation: “They must be melted.The armorer needs silver for the armor on the roof and the top of the wall.Can you take these to him?Thank you - Oliver Hayfield”
Decree attached reads "By order of the town of Hanweir, all silver munitions must be moved to the top of the village wall."
Headline: Irregular Activity Continues Outside the Walls of Hanweir
Headline: Strangely Productive Town Hall Meeting
Editor: At this point, one can already see the start of Emrakul's influences. The town is becoming unified in thought. Joined also in their new distrust of Avacyn.
Box #2: Das mysteriöse Paket wird ausgepackt #HanweirChronicle
Translation: The Mysterious Package is unpacked.
The letter inside read:
A lone vampire was spotted outside the wall last evening. She called
to be let inside, but guards warned her to turn around lest she face
impalement. The vampire was disheveled and travel-worn—not rabid as
others have been, but clearly losing grip on maintaining her composure.
She stood still in the cold rain awaiting entrance for quite some time.
When she offered to trade her jewelry over the wall out of desperate
thirst, it became clear she was not accustomed to the life of more
nomadic vampires.
I attempted to interview her from atop the Hanweir wall.
Me: What is your name, villain?
V: My name is not important! Please! I have gold and pearls to trade!
Me: What is your lineage?
V: My lineage doesn't matter anymore.
Me: Why doesn't it matter?
V: It simply doesn't! Please, I am so thirsty...
Me: All residents of Hanweir are locked within our walls.
The vampire, upon hearing this, dissolved into a fit of manic laughter.
V: Locked within the walls! Even here, they are locked within the walls!
The vampire continued to laugh while violently kicking the stone of
our walls, swearing incoherently. It became clear that the creature was
mad due to starvation. I retreated to my chamber and obtained a rat from
under the floorboards to throw to her.
I did so, and our interview continued.
Me: Why have you travelled so far from home if you are unaccustomed to hunting in the wild?
V: How dare you deliberately insult me! I can't eat this, you idiot!
By now the biting rain had become irritating and my patience waned. I
needed answers. I sliced a small cut into my finger and dribbled it
down the side of the wall. The vampire snapped its jaws and lapped it up
quickly. Her glamer became weak, and her vicious hands began trying to
climb up the walls. The nearby Militia Captain decided to take action
and shot her with an arrow, whence she fell to her death.
Taking into consideration the immediate reprimand I received from the
councilmembers, I will no longer conduct interviews with non-human
beings.
I am left confused. Where did this vampire come from? Why was she so
poorly dressed for the wilds? I am most upset that this was probably my
last opportunity to speak with an outsider. Regardless, I must try to
rest. These are terrible times.
–O
Headline: Construction of the Hanweir Wall Finished
Editor: Again, the unity and paranoia is starting to join together Hanweir citizens. They no longer are allowed to leave the newly constructed walls. They must remain together.
Headline: Turmoil at Town Hall
Editor - the last sane people leave Hanweir.
Box #3:
BOX CONTENTS:
A jar of preserved pears accompanied by a…pear of letters.
“I
write this entry from atop the Hanweir wall. I find it amusing and
self-congratulatory that not only dad my village secede from Videns
Parish and Gavony, but we felt arrogant enough to name our (one-town)
province of Hanweir. If we used a currency, would it be called the
Hanweir? Are the individual streets to be renamed Hanweir? Am I Hanweir?
I
have come to love and fear this wall. Councilwoman Blackwell, in her
anger, seems to have been a bearer of overwhelming truths. By enclosing
ourselves we have ensured that anything sealed with us behind the walls
of Hanweir cannot get out. This truth became far too clear last night
with the unfortunate discover that former popular pear farmer, Hadwin
Dodd, was a lycanthrope. He was killed last night in front of his own
house after a most disturbing public transformation and moonlight hunt.
He died only after slaughtering two children in his lupine state.
Perhaps
we, the makers of our cage, deserve this. We have sinned, and our
punishment is raining in blood from the sky and tearing transformed
flesh behind our doors.
I find myself praying to no one in
particular. Avacyn and her vultures will certainly not help me. Instead I
whisper desperate prayers to the void of the night–to the cold
witch-hour, when only the moon can hear me. It feels pointless. I’m not
sure if the moon can do me much good.
Perhaps all I can do is turn to those around me.
Perhaps the only solution is to join with the rest of the sinners and wayward souls here in this hapless box we made.
Our
salvation is not in the skies or in the hymns or in books. It is
closeness with our neighbors, embracing each other and embracing our
humanity.
As I write with my pen, the truth becomes manifest.
Coming together is the only option.
- Oliver Hayfield”
“Preserved Pears - Perhaps you’ll enjoy these more than I do. I can’t stand the taste anymore.
- Oliver Hayfield”
Sounds like things are getting a little Hanweird.
Box #4: j'ai recu un petit colis a la maison, qui renfermait un plus petit colis, qui renfermait une etrange liste
Translation: I received a small parcel at home, which contained a smaller parcel, which contained a strange list
Editor: A list of groceries or items to purchase in French, for the town of Hanweir.
The list translated showed it was a trading list. Check out what the haves are!
NEED:
Grain (barley, spelt, oats)
Wool
Firewood
Hay
Candle oil
Coat for 8
Fruit (any)
Vegetables (any)
Milk (any other than goat)
Beer
Whiskey
Wine
Translation: I received a Mystery Box from Wizards of the Coast!!#HANWEIRCHRONICLE #MTGSOI
Rem Karolus,
I write to you from the Hanweir Province (formerly the town of
Hanweir). I understand that recently you have been hunting angels, but
we found something that might still be of interest to you.
Our captain of the wall recently killed a werewolf within the
perimeter of our town and was startled to find that the creature did not
transform back to human form when he died. I have included part of the
skin and the tip of the arrow that killed him as evidence. Please answer
as soon as possible – my town grows in apprehension and concern about
the condition of the world beyond our walls.
Thank you,
Oliver Hayfield
Headline: Decree Passed for Mandatory Communal Meals
Editor: A large number of twins have been born simultaneously in Hanweir, suddenly.
Box #6: 这顶帽子不太适合我们了 …..
Translation: This hat doesn't quite suit us anymore...
Box #7: Hanweir Chronicle to Abandon Byline...
Headline: Hanweir Chronicle to Abandon Byline
Box #8: Strange Tidings from a man who has forgotten that punctuation exists. Get well soon, Oliver!
Headline: ... Tremendously alive...
And so ends the Hanweir Chronicle... and the entire village. Emrakul's influences combined all twins, merged all the populace, to one horror. Farewell, Oliver...
This shows how the influences of Eldrazi affects even ordinary citizens. The people of Innistrad were changed, mutated, merged, into Eldrazi horrors. The Travails were at their climax with Nahiri pulling Emrakul from Zendikar to Innistrad. And so the stage was set for the Gatewatch to come to stop this Eldrazi threat!
The Suq'Ata originally came from the plane of Rabiah the Infinite, an
Arabesque world connected to the plane of Dominaria through a series of
huge, magical cyclone gates. In the distant past, when the gates between
Dominaria and Rabiah were secure, many people crossed through the gates
to make their home in the magic-rich environment of Jamuraa.
A number of these people, who would eventually become known as the
Suq'Ata, settled and built cities reminiscent of their distant home.
They began to build a trading empire, and soon had caravans traversing
the huge continent of Jamuraa in search of valuables and profit. While
this mercantile society was well-versed in spells, treasure, and
artifice, with them also came one of the oldest arts on Rabiah--the way
of the assassin.
Within the modern cities of the Suq'Ata there exists a network of secret
guilds wholly devoted to murder. Using spells of summoning, fear, and
mind-numbing cold, the assassins of Suq'Ata seek not to defeat their
opponents outright, but to poison them over time in a variety of
insidious ways--perhaps a cobra trained to remain still until it
strikes, or food tainted with a tasteless poison, delivered by an unseen
hand.
The Suq'Ata assassins have a variety of spells and charms that generate
an aura of fear, allowing them to pass through the most well-guarded
halls and chambers. Even the most vigilant of guards will flee from the
smallest swampfly if the fear-aura spell is woven well by an assassin.
Suq'Ata assassins have been known to walk through the heart of a crowded
banquet hall to deliver their poisonous gift, either by knife or vial,
no matter how many guards are present.
One of the oldest folktales in Suq'Ata society is about an assassin that
trained a venomous serpent to hold itself in an upright position for
endless hours. Then a simple illusion would be cast across it, so that
the serpent appeared as nothing more than a simple wax candle. Once set
into place on a noble's bedside, the snake would strike repeatedly at
anyone who tried to put a match to its deadly head.
Once more, we return to Innistrad, and so this insignificant blog continues to provide a singular space for all the lore and hidden texts for exploring the plane. Good hunting, planeswalkers.
Welcome to eternal night! Crimson vow shows the upcoming wedding between Olivia Voldaren and Edgar Markov. Seems the planeswalkers of the world have something to say about a new Eternal Night!
User "MakesOnAPlane" created this wonderful bloodlines chart:
Info from DnD Innistrad campaign on Strefan Maurer: "After his father’s death, Strefan
studied magic and forged a pact with the demon Shilgengar in return for
the promise of immortality. After murdering his brother Sergei and
drinking his blood, Strefan journeyed to Markov Manor and consulted with
Edgar Markov. Together, they worked with Shilgengar to create the
twelve bloodlines of vampires on Innistrad."
Ending synopsis and comments:
While the initial Harvesttide Festival was a massacre by both werewolf and Vampire, Arlinn may be able to convince werewolves of a new forward path, towards a better Innistrad. Most of the Vampire families attended the Crimson Wedding, but it was not concluded, Edgar in the end, rejected Olivia, despite her influencing blood magic, and possibility of using the Moonsilver key to gain the vampires control over angels. Many vampires were killed, and we don't know the fate of Castle Voldaren - was it destroyed, or at least seriously damaged, much like Markov Manor? Sorin is however rebuilding, giving new hope to groups of humans on Innistrad, his homeplane. With the second harvesttide ritual complete, day and night are in balance once more on Innistrad, while things like Thraben are still recovering and filled with Zombies, and the Angels are still not a stronger force. Finally, Arlinn has built a better connection to the Gatewatch planeswalkers Chandra, Teferi, and Kaya. Teferi mentions the potential re-growing threat of Phyrexians, which were seen seeking Immortality solutions on Kaldheim. We still don't have a clear idea of what the Gatewatch looks like, or who are still members. We know from the Dominaria storyline that Karn is seeking aid to stop New Phyrexia- and that there is now their corruption on Kaldheim at least. For now, we will have to wait and see what happens in the Neon Dynasty of Kamigawa!
While this blog has taken a pause from lore compilations due to Wizards combining most of their lore on one page, we felt the return to Innistrad worthy of a new archive log. Please comment with any requests for other planes, stories, or assistance finding things.

Traitor's reach was a set of Magi-Nation Duel cards that were never printed in paper, but we have the whole set released. Magi-Nation was a game heavily influenced by story, and often, story elements (untold anywhere else, as there wasn't web-fiction for it) appeared on cards. Traitor's Reach was the set with the most such flavor text, so we've compiled all of the relevant storyline flavor text below. A synopsis of what we can tell from it:
The dark twins had created the Nightmare construct from Kybar's Fang and the knowledge found in the Great Library, and gotten access from T'lok, who was turned by Warrada, and became a traitor.
The coalition of magi from many regions assembled in Naroom, with Nar magi heading out first. They had a meal together, then hiked to the Teeth.
Groll discovered T'lok's treachery, and the Twins amassed an army in the mountains, gathering Jalex, Yayek, Togoth among other unnamed shadow magi.
The battle was large - there's many instances of Magi and Shadow Magi battling - the most explicit is that between Xandia, T'lok, and Vorga. You can read the flavor text on: Flame Jakla, Gorath Cub, Molten Gauntlets, and Xandia.
What else did you get from the story? We'd love to hear in the comments below!
Cards:
Barrelling Vemment A flight of Vemments charged Togoth, pummeling his nightmare creatures into animite dust
Bone Cragnoc "The creatures in the Teeth are beginning to take a slightly more malevolent look. Perhaps we should investigate."
Bria, Relic Hunter "Qwade, it's perfect! How do I use it?"
Brog, Swamp Thug "Olabra's in charge now! You answer to her or you find yourself in exile. Got it?"
Caldera Aq The Cald Magi charged up the slopes of Kybar's Teeth, hurling fire as they went. Before them loomed the forces of the Dark Twins.
Carillion Titan As Yaki's creatures charged the foul minions of the Core, the carillion titan continued to grow, moving slowly but surely toward the Great Library.
Circling Darbok As the collected forces of the Moonlands converged on the slopes of Kybar's Teeth, darboks began to circle, looking for weak creatures to take advantage of.
Crystal Saris The Shadow Magi were too busy fending off Gogor's assult to notice that the saris had doubled in size.
Dark Vellup Harror ambushed Dey in the vast expanses of d'Resh. "Time to pay, fool," she hissed, between clenched teeth.
Flame Jakla T'lok sood over Vorga, ready to drop a massive boulder on the prone Magi. Just then, Xandia's Jakla appeared and blasted T'lok off the edge of the cliff.
Flashfreeze Velouria's creatures surrounded the twisted furok. A blue flash of energy flowed from creature to creature, sucking the energy from it.
Gorath Cub Chains wrapped tightly around Xandia, forcing a scream of rage from her lips. T'lok stepped from behind a boulder. "You didn't think I'd be that easy to get rid of, did you?"
Grapple Tooth Hrada's spell barely missed Hok as he rolled off the cliff. His trusty hook saved him from a long, painful fall.
Groll the Fallen "Tlok! What have you done?"
Grotto Phrup Bria's phrup nullified the magic of the relics guarding Evu's study. A brief search of the premises revealed exactly what she had been looking for.
Harvest Feast "They make take our land, but they'll never take MY KITCHEN!" yelled Poad. With that, the coalition forces ate what might be their last meal before the assault on the Dark Twins.
Korremar, Avatar Korremar met Rayje and Sinder on their way out of Paradwyn. It was easy to convince the legend and his apprentice that their goals were the same.
Lanyx, Reaper "It's time to repay some people for their treacheries. Korremar, Barak, Harror..."
Lightning Braggle Lightning rained from the skies onto the heads of the Shadow Magi. Whenever it touched the ground, the electricity took the form of a braggle.
Molten Gauntlets "No one hurts my little sister! Especially not some two-bit Shadow Magi!" Xandia looked over the cliff to see what had become of T'lok, but he was gone.
Muck Shovel "Hah! Your Pyder is mine now! "Arosa boasted. "Not for long," Blygt said, a sneer on his face.
Nightmare Construct "I've got something for that meddling Rayje, and his little apprentice too." - Warrada
Polar Eebit Laranel and her people arrived too late to help Yaki free Naroom but they were among the first to head for Kybar's Teeth to fight the Twins.
Pruitt, Ringsmith "Yaki, why won't you look at me? What have they done to you?"
Ripcurl Togoth laughed. "You old fool! You may have defeated my drush but you've made my dryte stronger!" "Don't worry, I've got plans for your dryte." Mobis said.
Salara With a swish of her wrist, Salara's orshaa grew in size. Warrada's ball of purple energy bounced harmlessly off it.
Shadow Fird Flocks of these foul beasts now follow Sperri wherever she roams.
Shock Ring "Alright, Jalex, it's go time. Show me what you've got." -Ora, Defender of the Sky
Shroud of the Master "You're not worthy to bear such a noble burden, Hrada. Take it off at once!" -Morag
Sinder, Apprentice "Sinder, go help the others. Warrada is mine." -Rayje
Slinking Greal "Who cares where these things came from? All that matters is that they seem to want to help." -Yaki, Core Stalker

Sneaky Weebo "Yes,brother, they do seem to be taking a liking to you." -Warrada
Speag Sprouts At a gesture from Iyori, the speag sprouts swarmed as the core hyren dove in for an attack. Weaving energy between themselves, the sprouts began to grow in size.
Stubborn Chogus The ferocity with which the Chogus covered Groll's escae amazed him. "I must report T'lok's betrayal to Targ'n before it's too late," thought the battered Keeper.
Tal'ik "Don't bother, T'lok. I'm prepared for your tricks."
