Jyhelm Flourishing : Front Page

It's odd that I'm writing this after Foundations, but oh well. I'd like to explain the story that occurs in this set since the third set (currently unnamed and with only three cards designed for) shifts the story greatly from this and Foundations. Trachol orders three of his generals to march troops to Onal. Onal is the greatest trading city of the Alomi nomads. Avens and viashino will often fly there for equipment and it's not uncommon for nantuko to go there for spices and curios. Cutting off funds to the Alomi is not Trachol's concern but instead he seeks out the Baliman, the Walking Library, the greatest collection of knowledge on Jyhelm, for it contains the only records of humans using blue or green mana on Jyhelm. Meanwhile Leiska, Soub-Eeng, and Voltrik (they'll be introduced in the full story and their cards will be in the next set) work on resurrecting the black and white gods that once held balance.

The viashino still loyal to Ornin follow his words and enter the battle on the side of the Alomi. A few nantuko parties have set-up traps for Embark along the way, however they can't seem to get past the cephalids whose wits and power previously helped hold Embark at bay. Recognizing an increased resistance, Trachol takes his mount and heads to Onal himself.
