Chapter Summaries

Medivh’s expansion of Sunset City helped spark a campaign by three city-states to reclaim the plains west of the Afterglow Mountains, while the Scare-Claw Tribe avoided his fortified districts. The story then moved ahead a year to the birth of Medivh’s daughter Arina, who was blessed by the Goddess of Fire Prayer.

• Lanluo City’s warriors attacked as the Scare-Claw alliance faltered, and Medivh sent skeletons to build fortified Nine-Grid Districts across the plains.
• Two other city-states joined Lanluo City and the Wrynn Family in a war to reclaim the plains from the seven-tribe alliance.
• Udir observed that the Scare-Claw Werewolves had withdrawn from Sunset Canyon, while the Church of Light continued to approve Medivh’s alchemy and refuse the tribe’s complaints.
• The noble families pursued the campaign for the fertile land themselves, while Medivh focused on expanding his districts rather than sending his skeletons to fight.
• On April 4 of the following year, Satena gave birth to Medivh’s daughter Arina Loran Hobarton Wrynn, who inherited his Dragon Bloodline and received the blessing of the Goddess of Fire Prayer.

Medivh returned from Crimson City to Kurd City after overseeing the incubation of Oriana’s three Lava Dragon eggs and establishing a Fire-Prayer Church for the visiting tribe. He approved the new Sharp Arrow Anti-Air Ballista, then resumed cultivating high-grade skeletons with bones gathered from multiple planes.

• Oriana laid three Lava Dragon eggs, and Medivh activated the Incubation Array to nourish them with Fire and Earth Elements.
• Medivh left the Dark Tower Spirit to watch the eggs and returned to Kurd City with Oriana, his family, and Fire-Praying visitors, who established a church in Dragon Gate Ferry City.
• Medivh sent the Number Three Bone Spirit Substitute to Sunset City and the strengthened Number Four Bone Spirit Substitute to Crimson City to guard the eggs and produce skeletons.
• The Alchemy Skeleton Mage Corps presented the Sharp Arrow Anti-Air Ballista, and Medivh approved it for production as a powerful but costly weapon.
• Medivh rejected large-scale use of the energy-hungry Origin Crystal Gun and conventional Gunpowder Guns, favoring Magic Rune Alchemy technology.
• Medivh returned to Tower No. 1 and cultivated Resurrected Red Bone and Yellow Bone Skeletons using bones from several planes.

Medivh watched three Frost Dragonlings hatch in Ulan City and cared for them until they accepted him as their Dragon Servant. Meanwhile, Frost Dragon King Sapphiron forced Blue Dragon Reinhardt to lead him to the East Sea to find the missing eggs, leaving Reinhardt worried about what Medivh had done with them.

• Medivh arrived at the Dragon Nest when three Frost Dragon Eggs began cracking, and the Frost Dragonlings hatched together and roared at him.
• Oriana and Veledra played with the Frost Dragonlings until Medivh rescued them, then fed and cared for them until they accepted him as their caretaker.
• Sapphiron pursued Reinhardt over his affair with Dromala and demanded the return of his children, accusing him of stealing three female Dragon Eggs.
• Reinhardt denied intending harm and told Sapphiron that he had left the eggs in the East Sea region for the Azure Wave Dragon Elder to return.
• Sapphiron ordered Reinhardt to lead him to the East Sea, while Reinhardt worried that Medivh had put the eggs in danger.

Medivh raised the three Frost Dragonlings until they were nearly Youth Dragons, then moved them to Kurd City when Sapphiron the Frost Dragon King came looking for them. Sapphiron reunited with his children, who chose to stay in the Hengduan Mountains, while Sophia arrived from the East Sea.

• Medivh regularly bled the three Frost Dragonlings and used their blood to cultivate Snow Fox-person and Snow Werewolf High Tower Maids and create Frost Dragonkin.
• Sindasa the Blue Dragon warned Medivh that Reinhardt the Blue Dragon had been caught and was bringing the Frost Dragon King, so Medivh moved the three Frost Dragons to Kurd City.
• Sindasa saw the hatched Frost Dragons and learned that the Ice-Blue Dragon Egg still had not hatched.
• Sapphiron the Frost Dragon King arrived with Reinhardt, praised Medivh for raising his children well, and reunited with Lilia, Lilith, and Lillian.
• The three Frost Dragonlings refused to return to the Frost Dragon settlement, so Sapphiron decided to inspect Kurd City; Sophia, the Azure Wave Dragon Elder, then flew in from the East Sea.

Sophia visited Veledra and discovered that Medivh had become her partner, then joined the Dragons at his banquet in Kurd City. The Frost Dragon King and Azure Wave Dragon Elder approved of the Wrynn Family and left the young Dragons to nest there.

• Sophia found Veledra hiding in her nest and realized Medivh, a half-dragon, was responsible for her advanced development.
• Sophia and Reinhardt accepted Medivh’s invitation to the banquet, while Sindasa brought Natalie and Sapphiron arrived with three Frost Dragonlings.
• Medivh hosted the Dragons as powerful figures from the Gewalt Federation and rival empires watched Kurd City.
• Natalie eagerly ate the banquet food until Sindasa and Sophia reminded her to behave in front of her elders.
• Sapphiron agreed to let Lilia and the other Frost Dragonlings nest in Kurd City, and Sophia approved Medivh as Veledra’s partner.
• Sapphiron, Reinhardt, and Sophia left the East Sea coast after sharing a knowing smile over their Space Rings.

After the Dragon Banquet, Medivh strengthened the Wrynn Family’s ties to the Dragons, earned an upgrade from Viscount to Earl, and continued advancing his own power. He left the chapter as a Count and a Low-Grade Yellow Bone Bone Spirit.

• Lilia and the other Frost Dragonlings chose sites for their Dragon Nests in the Hengduan Mountains, then returned to Ulan City and resumed raising their people and maids.
• Medivh used the Dragon Banquet and the Dragons’ presence to protect the Wrynn Family while expanding its forces with Dragonblood.

• Audrey celebrated becoming an Earl’s wife, and Medivh later advanced his Dragonblood Knight and Dragonblood Sorcerer ranks to high Fourth Rank.
• Medivh strengthened his bones with Bone Power and became a Low-Grade Yellow Bone Bone Spirit.

After advancing to a Low-Grade Yellow Bone Bone Spirit, Medivh strengthened his Bone Spirit Substitutes and opened a Plane Portal from Black Furnace Fortress to Storm City. He reviewed the Wrynn Family’s expanding territories and skeleton production, while preparing to strengthen Number Two and bring the new substitutes into the assembly line.

• Medivh advanced to a Low-Grade Yellow Bone Bone Spirit, gaining four additional Bone Spirit Substitute slots, and strengthened Number One, Number Three, and Number Four.
• Medivh and Number Two used a Chaotic Elemental Storm to open a Plane Portal at Black Furnace Fortress, connecting it to Storm City.
• Medivh recalled Number Two to Kurd City and sent Number Three to oversee Black Furnace Fortress.
• Medivh reviewed the Wrynn Family’s expanding cities and territories across its planes, including the Skeleton Legion’s advances on the Blackstone Plane.
• Medivh reviewed his skeleton production over the past two years and planned to strengthen Number Two before deploying the four new Bone Spirit Substitutes.

Medivh expanded his Bone Spirit Substitute forces while Sindasa and Natalie welcomed an Azure Wave Dragon egg. Natalie later moved her clan to the Hengduan Mountains to work with the Wrynn Family, bringing a young dragon and an egg with her.

• Medivh advanced Bone Spirit Substitute Number Two to Low-Grade Yellow Bone and began mass-producing Purple Bone substitutes.
• Azure Wave Dragon Natalie laid an egg, and Medivh arranged an Incubation Nest for it in the Hengduan Mountains.
• After recovering, Natalie moved her household from the East Sea to the Hengduan Mountains and claimed the Azure Wave River basin.
• Natalie asked Medivh to trade offerings for her dragon blood, and he agreed to build her a Dragon Nest nearby.
• Sindasa recognized the young Azure Wave Dragon and egg that Natalie had brought to the valley.

Medivh cared for Vellona and used dragon blood to support his growing operation while planning to expand Wrynn Family control along the East Sea. Natalie’s move attracted other Azure Wave Dragons, and six young dragons settled nearby as Medivh secured a blood-donation agreement with more.

• Medivh arranged for Vellona’s Azure Dragon Egg to be incubated, and Vellona stayed at Tower No. 1 to enjoy his Elemental Spirit Fruits.
• After half a month of overeating, Vellona returned to Natalie, then went back to Medivh, who used bloodletting to restore her health and collect dragon blood.
• Medivh planned to attract more Azure Wave Dragons to the East Sea so their Dragon Servants would clear the Murlocs and open a shipping route for the Wrynn Family.
• Other Azure Wave Dragons visited Natalie and Kurd City, and Medivh’s forces taught a visiting Sub-adult Dragon not to raid the city.
• Six Youth Azure Wave Dragons moved to the East Sea coast, while four Sub-adult Dragons and eight Youth Dragons agreed to donate blood in exchange for crystals and fruit.

Six Youth Azure Wave Dragons settled near the Wrynn Family’s territory and signed a pact to help defend it. Meanwhile, Saruman learned of Medivh’s ties to powerful Dragons and remained unable to reach him, while Bishop Moana continued to protect Medivh.

• The six Youth Azure Wave Dragons moved to the East Sea coast, established territories with help from their servant tribes, and signed the Dragon City-State Pact with the Wrynn Family.
• Dorothy, Charlotte, and Adeline stayed at Veledra’s Dragon Nest while their homes were built, and Liam, Oliver, and Andrew stayed with Sindasa.
• Frail told Saruman that powerful Dragons had attended Medivh’s banquet and left their descendants in Wrynn Territory.
• Saruman erupted in anger over Medivh’s connections, then offered Frail a magical modification after warning him to forget what he had seen.
• Medivh stayed within the protection of his allies as Bishop Moana followed him wherever he went.

Medivh’s dragon population and the Wrynn Family’s control of the Wan River enabled the newly formed Azure Wave Merchant Group to open a protected sea route to Stillwater Port. The fleet’s grain cargo sold quickly, and the route promised a faster supply line between the Odyssey Region and Gevot’s coastal city-states.

• Vellona reached the early Fifth Rank after growing quickly under Medivh’s care, while Wrynn Territory’s dragons and incubating eggs totaled fourteen dragons and six eggs.
• Azure Wave Dragon tribes drove nearby Murloc tribes away, letting the Wrynn Family control the Wan River to its estuary and the Azure Wave Dragons claim nearby shores and waters.
• The Azure Wave Merchant Group sent more than fifty cargo ships from Dragon Gate Ferry Harbor, carrying goods under Wrynn and Azure Wave Dragon flags.
• Protected by Dragon Servant tribes, the fleet sailed about six hundred kilometers along the coast and arrived safely at Stillwater Port.
• A tax official identified the fleet as belonging to Count Wrynn and recognized that it had opened a valuable route through waters other merchant groups could not cross.
• Local merchants quickly bought the fleet’s inexpensive grain.

Medivh established the Azure Wave Merchant Group’s protected sea route between Stillwater Port and Odyssey City-State, creating profitable trade for both regions. As the rainy season began and Murlocs gathered at Wan River, he allowed them to enter the river basin.

• Medivh told Odyssey City-State’s envoy that the Azure Wave Merchant Group would handle trade with Black Mountain City-State under the Azure Wave Dragon Clan’s protection.
• After seeing Azure Wave Dragons and their servants guarding the route, representatives from both city-states agreed to trade through Anthony and the merchant group.
• Sophia presented the Wrynn Family’s gifts and profit-sharing plan to the Azure Wave Dragon Queen, who confirmed the clan’s protection of the merchant group.
• Trade flourished, enriching the city-state nobles and the Wrynn Family while bringing the Azure Wave Dragon Clan its share of profits.
• When Murlocs gathered at Wan River during the rainy season and faced off against the aquatic Dragon Servant clans, Medivh ordered the Azure Wave Dragons to let them enter the river basin.

Medivh allowed the fishmen to enter Wan River for their rainy-season foraging, preserving the tacit peace between humans and fishmen. He grew closer to Vellona, learned that Suixiang was expecting his child, and continued training while checking on the dragon eggs.

• Medivh let the fishmen pass through his territory into Wan River, where they foraged in the flooded lands under the rainy-season understanding between the fishmen and the Odyssey City-State.
• Vellona asked Medivh to transform, and he flew with her to her Dragon Nest, where they became close.
• Suixiang became pregnant, and Medivh gave her the Wrynn family name, prompting celebrations among the Spirit Cat Tribe.
• Medivh continued his training and assigned Bone Spirit Substitutes No. 5 through No. 8 to produce skeletons in Kurd City and the Other Plane's Block Cities.
• Medivh checked the dragon eggs in Ulan City and Crimson City; the Ice-Blue Dragon Egg communicated telepathically, while the three Lava Dragon eggs remained dormant.

The Scare-Claw Tribe abandoned the Southern Plains as the Skeleton Legion’s Block City divided its territory, while Medivh expanded into the region and continued searching for his father, Rhine. As the Skeleton Legion prepared to face the advancing Swamp Monsters, Medivh called a meeting to plan how to keep the city from sinking into their mire.

• The Scare-Claw Tribe’s chief ordered the Werewolves to evacuate the Southern Plains and concentrate against the Human Legion, leaving the Skeleton Legion and Swamp Monsters to fight over the abandoned territory.
• The Block City expanded west to more than five hundred and forty kilometers, cutting off the Southern Plains from the Scare-Claw Tribe’s heartland.
• Second Elder Udir left Sunset City to rejoin the Hobarton Family’s front line after saying farewell to Medivh and urging him to keep searching for Rhine.
• Medivh sent skeleton expeditions into the hills to search for Rhine and excavate historical bones while the Skeleton Engineering Team completed Sunset City Five and expanded south.
• Medivh summoned the Skeleton Mages to discuss how to defend the Block City from the Swamp Monsters’ Fossil-to-Mud Technique.

Medivh sent the Skeleton Mage Corps to counter the Mud Swamp Monsters while he fought the Red Wolf Clan and their Red Dragon ally. After Shyvana drove the Skeleton Army back to Sunset City Five, Medivh confronted her himself and brought her down with his Eight-Armed Skeleton Golem, but she refused to surrender.

• The Skeleton Mage Corps captured Mud Swamp Monsters and prepared to defend the Magic Rune Walls around Block City.
• The Red Wolf Clan expanded into the Scare-Claw Tribe's hills, and Medivh sent the Skeleton Army to contest the territory.
• A young Red Dragon drove the Skeleton Army back, allowing the Red Wolf Clan to advance to the gates of Sunset City Five.
• Medivh brought Oriana to Sunset City, formed his Eight-Armed Skeleton Golem, and challenged the Red Dragon Shyvana without asking her to join the fight.
• Medivh's Dragon-Hunting Bone Chains bound Shyvana and dragged her to the ground, but she continued to resist as the golem demanded her surrender.

Medivh reunited with his long-missing father Rhine, who had been serving as Shyvana’s guardian, and learned that his mother Aurora had died after believing Rhine was dead. Rhine grieved her loss, and Medivh asked him what had happened during the years he was missing.

• Shyvana urged General Weilong to help her fight Medivh, but Rhine refused and revealed that he was Rhine Hobarton, Medivh’s father.
• Medivh told Rhine that he had left the Hobarton Family and founded the Wrynn Family as a Pioneer.
• Rhine asked about Aurora, and Medivh told him that she had died from grief after news of Rhine’s supposed death reached them.
• Rhine wept and blamed himself for being absent when Aurora needed him.
• Medivh told Rhine that Aurora had never blamed him and asked what had happened during his years away.

Rhine explained how the Red Dragon Queen had made him a Dragon Servant, and Medivh learned why his father could not return home. Facing the danger of the Red Dragon Queen’s retaliation, Medivh tried to make Shyvana join his side, but she turned the confrontation to her advantage and left him exhausted.

• Rhine recounted how the Red Dragon Queen rescued his soldiers, gave them dragon blood, and appointed him General Weilong to serve Shyvana.
• Medivh understood why Rhine had stayed away and discussed with him how to prevent the Red Dragon Queen from attacking Lanluo City over Shyvana’s capture.
• Rhine suggested making Shyvana one of their own, and Medivh gave him the Dragon Transformation Art to help persuade her.
• Shyvana rejected Medivh’s offer of Fire Elemental Crystals and Fire Spirit Fruits, so Medivh transformed into a Lava Dragon and confronted her.
• After three days, Shyvana used a Dragon Secret Art to pin Medivh down and exhaust him, then taunted him as he staggered away.

Audrey and Hilda reunited with Rhine in Sunset City, where he met their children and learned Medivh had secured peace with the Red Dragon Shyvana. Second Elder Udir arrived and accepted that Rhine could not return to the Hobarton Family, content that his former student was alive.

• Audrey introduced Anduin, Hilda, Jaina, and Bolvar to Rhine, who was delighted to meet his family.
• Rhine noticed Medivh avoided Shyvana, and Medivh complained that her dark magic had left him powerless and drained.
• Shyvana taught Oriana her dark-magic methods, while Medivh ordered the Skeleton Mage Corps to develop body-tempering techniques.
• After signing the Dragon City-State Pact, the Skeleton Army joined Rhine's forces to help Shyvana expand her territory, while Sunset City continued growing toward the Swamp Monsters.
• Second Elder Udir arrived in Sunset City and embraced Rhine, who explained that he could not return to the Hobarton Family or fight for it.
• Udir told Rhine that his survival mattered more than his inability to return, and said he remained in the prime of life.

Rhine reunited with Second Elder Udir, while Medivh learned that the Gnoll Kingdom had invaded Blue Bay City. He evacuated the city’s allies and triggered a devastating Chaotic Elemental Storm that engulfed the Gnoll army.

• Second Elder Udir sparred with Rhine and discovered that his student had become a peak Tier 6 Knight through the Red Dragon Queen’s Origin Dragon Blood.
• Medivh kept Rhine from going to Blue Bay City, where the Gnoll Kingdom’s army and Tier 6 Transcendents had breached the city defenses.
• Number Two ordered the Light Priests and stationed army to evacuate Blue Bay City before the City Burning Plan began.
• After Number Two returned to Crimson City, the Wrynn Dark Towers activated their hidden energy and unleashed a Chaotic Elemental Storm across Blue Bay City.
• The storm killed ordinary Gnolls and Transcendents below Tier 5, while Tier 5 and stronger fighters struggled to survive.

After the Gnoll Kingdom captured Blue Bay City, Medivh triggered the city’s defenses, destroying most of its invading army and crippling the kingdom. The city’s Elemental Well contained the resulting storm, and while Blue Bay City was rebuilt, its ruins yielded magical materials and naturally enchanted equipment.

• The Gnoll Kingdom’s forces captured Blue Bay City, but the city’s self-destruction unleashed a Chaotic Elemental Storm that killed most of the invaders and drove human reinforcements back.
• The Odyssey City-State’s powerhouses hunted the fleeing Gnolls, while the Dark Tower’s spirits and hidden Elemental Skeleton Mages repaired the Spatial Rift and built an Elemental Well to contain the storm.
• The Gnoll Kingdom lost nearly all its attacking force, the Porcupine Kingdom withdrew from the occupied territory, and nobles of the Odyssey City-State became more cautious in dealing with the Wrynn Family.
• Medivh ordered the Skeleton Legion to rebuild Blue Bay City and contain lingering elemental erosion as the Elemental Well began producing Elemental Crystals.
• The Dark Tower’s spirits found metal, weapons, armor, plants, and seeds transformed by the storm, prompting the Research Group’s Alchemical Mages and Magic Rune Mages to study the newly formed magical equipment.
