The Chaos Empire Has Fallen

(Introducing Conclave Arcana)

The Chaos Empire has fallen, but the fate of the Splinterlands is far from decided.

As Praetoria’s splinters struggle to rebuild, Archmage Portia Nyr makes her move. She and her Conclave Arcana seek the fabled secret of Praetoria, scouring the land for its scattered fragments. Power like that can’t be left untapped—not when the world is still ripe for the taking.

Kelan Gaines, a Mothrook Goathelm spy, uncovers Portia’s plan and sounds the alarm. But the kingdoms and empires of Praetoria were fractured by the rebellion, their leaders too busy restoring order to act.

The Riftwatchers turn to the League of Verico and its battle mage allies. That’s where you come in. It’s up to you to help the splinters of Praetoria stop Portia before her dark ambitions reshape the Splinterlands forever.
