Mercadian Masques | |
< | After the adventure in Rath, the crew of the Weatherlight crashes on a new plane |
 | The crew is immediatly attacked by unknown people, called the: "Cho-Arrim", who take the weatherlight and Orim |
 | The Cho-Arrim have captured Orim. She learns more about her captors and begins to feel attracted to Cho-Manno, the spiritual leader of the Cho-Arrim. The Cho-Arrim are people who suffer under the Mercadians. They wait for the return of Ramos, a sky-god, which will come back to free them from the Mercadians |
 | The rest of the crew are arrested by the Mercadians and must follow them to Mercadia. Mercadia is a twisted city, which is immidiatly noticeable |
 | Mercadia has one leader, the magistrate, who rules the city from his strange tower in the center of the city |
 | In fact the city is ruled by the Kyrens, a goblin race, which is smart, but cowardly. The have complete control of the magistrate, so they have also control over Mercadia |
 | Finnaly the magistrate comes with a deal. If they reclaim the Weatherlight, they may leave Mercadia. Therefore he gets soldiers and Cateran mercenaries under his command. |
 | He trains them well and they begin to look like real soldiers |
 | The Cateran mercenaries are another kind of people. They're thieves and murderers. They rule the world in Mercadia by night. |
 | As he marches to Cho-Arrim territory, they retake the Weatherlight and find Orim again. |
 | But the Caterans start to slaughter the Cho-Arrim people. Gerrard commands the Mercadian soldiers to stop the Caterans. It works, but now he's again under arrest, because he turned Mercadian soldiers against eachother. |
 | Takara comes to a deal with magistrate. The have to repair the Weatherlight and restore its flying mechanisms for him, than he will give them freedom. Sisay, Hanna and Orim must go to Saprazzo a city, inhabited by merfolks. They must go there to get an artifact they need for the repairs of the Weatherlight |
 | Saprazzo is a city underwater and the merfolk living there have the ability to switch between human legs and fish tails. |
 | Saprazzo is lead by� the vizier. She refuses to give the artifacts to them, but tries to find a solution. |
 | The negotiations are continueing, untill the artifact is stolen. The merfolks are accusing Orim of the theft. |
 | The vizier realizes that probably the Mercadians have stolen the artifact and helps Hanna and Sisay |
 | Hanna and Sisay are going back to the city and consider what to do. |
 | They obtain some powerfull relics, which is believed that they were from Ramos, the sky-god (in fact a dragon-engine) and they search for the Saprazzan's artifact. Meantime Orim is cleared of the theft charge |
 | Takara frees the rest of the crew. Hanna and Karn are going back to the Weatherlight. The other are going to search for the artifact. They fight an old Thran artifact, |
 | they find a very old and powerfull Thran site |
 | and they encounter dryads, who are very powerfull |
 | In the forests where the dryads are living thet encounter some unpleasant people, but they are easy to defeat |
 | Squee, a real goblin is promoted to a sort of ruler by his Kyren 'cousins' He starts to be a little arrogant. |
 | But as he persuits a juicy fly for dinner, |
 | he find a underground hangar, filled with hunderds of warships. Mercadia seems to help Phyrexia in their plans to invade Dominaria |
 | Meantime, Takara shocked the whole crew, coz she took all the Ramos artifacts and went back to Mercadia. She goes back to the Weatherlight and reveals that he's Volrath (a shapeshifter), the fallen evincar of Rath |
 | Therefore Volrath had already killed Starke, which was ironicaly the father of the real Takara |
 | Volrath forces Karn and Hanna to put the artifacts into the engines and plans to escape with the Weatherlight. But he fails, because Gerrard returns and again he flees from a battle with Gerrard |
 | At that moment the Cho-Arrim and Saprazzans begins to attack Mercadia. |
 | At first the Mercadians seems to defeat the Saprazzans, but they can't stop the masses attacking Mercadia |
 | The Kyrens starts to fight in the air. |
 | But they also fail in that attempt. Squee watches it in a mixture of sympathy and relief |
 | Now they blow up the underground hangar. A big threat to Dominaria is prevented |
 | With the explosion, the Weatherlight burst from the hangar. |
 | In the city, the Cho-Arrim and the Saprazzan rebels have won the victory, Mercadia has fallen! |
 | The Weatherlight and it's crew are leaving again to Dominaria. They have to protect Dominaria for the Phyrexian Invasion |
