Chapter Summaries

Medivh oversaw the construction of Sorrow Wind City beneath the Howling Canyon while welcoming three Lava Dragon hatchlings and preparing for Veledra’s eggs. As unusually early rains swept across the Odyssey Region, he put Wrynn Territory’s flood-control plans into action.

• Medivh hurried Oriana to Storm City after their three Lava Dragon children hatched, and he named them D'Artagnan, Porthos, and Aramis.
• The Wrynn Dark Tower opened a long-distance portal, allowing No. 6 Bone Spirit Substitute to lead the Skeleton Engineering Team and Mud Swamp Monsters to Sorrow Wind City and accelerate construction.
• Medivh used blood from his Lava Dragon sons to improve the Mud Swamp Dragons’ bloodlines, and they drove the Mud Swamp Monsters to work on the city.
• Veledra laid a Chaos Dragon egg and a Purple Dragon egg, which Medivh moved to separate incubation nests.
• When the rainy season arrived early, Medivh ordered No. 8 Bone Spirit Substitute to prepare Alchemical Water Pumps to drain excess reservoir water into the Wan River.

The rainy season flooded the Odyssey Region and emboldened Murlocs to attack towns, while Wrynn Territory weathered the floods with its reservoirs and defenses. Medivh used Deep Water Bombs to repel the Murlocs and agreed to supply them to the Odyssey City-State, leaving the Murlocs free to hunt in the wilderness but largely ending their town sieges.

• Heavy rains flooded the Odyssey Region, and Murlocs began killing residents and Transcendents in besieged towns.
• Wrynn Territory managed the floodwaters with its reservoirs and pumps, but rising water brought Murloc attacks against its outer walls.
• Medivh ordered archers to attack the Murlocs and had Deep Water Bombs thrown into the floodwaters, killing many attackers.
• The Odyssey City-State's powerful figures bought Deep Water Bombs, and a Combat Airship used them to break a Murloc siege on another town.
• Representatives of the Noble Council asked Medivh to produce Deep Water Bombs as strategic supplies, and he agreed.
• With the bombs widely available, Murlocs largely stopped attacking towns but continued searching for treasure in the wilderness.

Medivh learned that the West Sea murlocs’ rainy-season migration was a mating tradition rooted in their ancestors’ lost homeland, so he let them pass through the Wan River. He then used skeletal necromancers to investigate a group hiding in the Howling Canyon, gained their trust, and urged them to embrace undeath.

• Medivh learned from murloc memories that their rainy-season migration began as an effort to reclaim their rainforest homeland and remained essential to their reproduction.
• Medivh sent one Yellow Bone and two Blue Bone skeletal necromancers to Sorrow Wind City after telling Anduin to inform Bishop Moana of his investigation.
• Bishop Moana approved Medivh’s plan to investigate the necromancers’ activity in the Howling Canyon and look for ties to the Necromancer Council.
• Medivh staged a confrontation between his skeletal necromancers and modified corpses, then posed as a furious outcast to draw the hidden necromancers into conversation.
• The necromancers said they were wanted by the Church of Light and hiding in the canyon, and Medivh invited them to abandon their flesh and embrace death.

Medivh, posing as the mad Lich Ainz, fought Ghost-Face Spiders and persuaded Lamas to bring him into contact with the Necromancer Council. Lamas accepted Ainz as an ally, unaware that the supposed Lich was actually a Skeleton Mage who had only been acting insane.

• Ainz berated the Necromancers for refusing to embrace death and transform into Skeleton Mages.
• When Ghost-Face Spiders attacked the camp, Ainz and two Blue Bone Skeleton Mages killed several, then he transformed into a Bone Golem and subdued a Fourth Rank Ghost-Face Spider.
• Lamas opened the Gate of Death and summoned undead to demonstrate his power and retain the Necromancers’ respect.
• Lamas told Ainz that the Necromancer Council still existed and invited him to join, prompting Ainz to demand that Lamas take him to the Lich Kings.
• Lamas explained that the council was scattered and proposed that they work together, and Ainz agreed while threatening to replace him if he failed to make progress.
• Lamas accepted Ainz, not realizing that Medivh had been pretending to be a mad Lich and was actually a Skeleton Mage.

Anz helped Lamas gather flesh to open the Gate of Death, while Medivh learned from Bishop Moana that the Church of Light was fighting across the Necrotic Realm’s fragments. The chapter ended with Moana deciding to let Lamas open the Gate so she could lead the Legion of Light into the fragment space.

• Lamas told Anz that stabilizing the Gate of Death would let them enter the Necrotic Realm and make lasting contracts with undead.
• Lamas’s followers fed the Ghost-Face Spider corpses into the Flesh Grinder to charge the Bone Gate, and he said they needed more flesh to finish opening it.
• Anz agreed to hunt more Ghost-Face Spiders after Lamas warned him not to alert the Light Priests outside Howling Canyon.

• After Medivh marked the Bone Gate’s location, Moana told him to help Lamas open it so she could lead the Legion of Light into the fragment space.

Ainz and Medivh seized Lamas’s camp and defeated the Necromancers after opening the Gate of Death into the Necrotic Realm. Medivh proposed replacing its endlessly returning undead with Holy Light Skeletons, and Bishop Moana approved a trial that left a group of skeletons worshipping the Goddess of Light.

• Ainz helped Lamas’s camp open the Gate of Death, and Lamas led the Necromancers into the Necrotic Realm to bind undead.
• Ainz revealed that his Skeleton Legion had captured the camp and taken control of the Bone Gate, then his No. 6 Bone Spirit Substitute killed Lamas and the other Necromancers with Holy Light.
• Bishop Moana found no useful leads about the Necromancer Council in the dead Necromancers’ memories, though she contacted the Church of Light to investigate Lamas’s mentor.
• Medivh assembled six Zombies into a single Holy Light Skeleton and proposed replacing the Necrotic Realm’s undead with purified, revived skeletons.
• Bishop Moana ordered the Legion of Light to provide purified undead corpses for Medivh’s experiments and arranged for Holy Light Skeletons to worship the Goddess of Light.

Medivh developed Holy Remains City into a growing center where Light Priests and Holy Light Skeletons cleared and processed the Necrotic Realm’s undead, while elemental arrays reduced the death-energy threat. After returning to Kurd City, he learned that Gaetia had advanced to Sixth-Rank Knight, raising the Hobarton Family’s prospects.

• Medivh sent Bone Spirit Substitutes to refine and resurrect undead remains as Holy Light Skeletons, while the Skeleton Legion built Holy Remains City around the Gate of Death.

• In mid-February, Hilda told Medivh that Gaetia had advanced to Sixth-Rank Knight, allowing the Hobarton Family to pursue promotion to Marquis status.

Anduin and Jaina represented the Wrynn Family at the Hobarton Family’s celebration in Loran, where Anduin’s Holy Light and knightly prowess drew attention. After the gathering, Draven urged Anduin to visit Rhine in Sunset City to study the Way of the Knight.

• Medivh sent Anduin and Jaina to congratulate Grand Elder Gaetia on reaching Sixth-Rank Knight, while Audrey and Hilda accompanied them to Loran.
• Anduin’s Holy Light surprised Loran’s nobles, and the Wrynn heirs’ prominence attracted marriage proposals that Anduin and Jaina declined.

Blue Dragon Sindasa traveled to the Dragon-Breath Wilderness to enjoy himself, but Red Dragon Camilla caught him and kept him under the Red Dragon Secret Art for months. He was rescued when Camilla brought him back to Shyvana, and his sisters took him away.

• Medivh warned Blue Dragon Sindasa to stay near Sunset City and keep his identity hidden, and Shyvana showed him where to go.
• Blue Dragon Sindasa disguised himself as a Dragon Kin and attracted Dragonblood Creatures, until Red Dragon Camilla saw through his disguise.
• Red Dragon Camilla revealed their true forms and used the Red Dragon Secret Art, leaving Sindasa unable to stop and eventually exhausted.
• Shyvana contacted Medivh when Sindasa went missing, and Medivh arrived with Veledra, Vivian, and Lissandra to search for him.

• Veledra, Vivian, and Lissandra dragged their embarrassed older brother away while Camilla asked Shyvana about her unfamiliar friends.

Shyvana introduced Medivh and the other dragons to Red Dragon Camilla, who inspected Shyvana’s territory and returned to report favorably to the Red Dragon Queen. Back at the Blue Dragon Nest, Sindasa’s family learned that his trip to the Blackstone Plane had left him frightened and drained, and Adams vowed to avoid the Dragon-Breath Wilderness.

• Shyvana introduced the blue dragon siblings, Medivh, and Oriana to Camilla, who took an interest in Medivh and promised to visit Sindasa again.
• Sindasa fled to Sunset City, while Shyvana scolded Camilla for frightening him; Camilla later left after inspecting Shyvana’s territory and asked her to tell her when Sindasa returned.

• Dorothy challenged Medivh to train with her, but he proved stronger and later gave Charlotte the same unconventional care.

• Draven brought Anduin and Jaina to meet Rhine, after which Anduin began training under him and Jaina joined Shyvana and Lairna in fighting near the Dragon-Breath Wilderness.

Medivh reviewed the Wrynn Family’s development over the three years since Anduin became Lord of Sunset City, including its expanding skeleton production, cities across multiple planes, and growing bone trade. The family continued consolidating its strength and investing in resources, industry, and defenses rather than preparing for a new war.

• Medivh examined the annual report on nearly eight million skeletons produced by the Bone Spirit Substitutes and the skeletons he had personally resurrected.
• The report detailed the expansion of Sunset City, Mud Swamp City, Flame Dragon City, Ulan City, and the Wrynn Family’s other settlements across several planes.
• Shyvana secretly recovered remains beneath Red Dragon territory and gave them to Medivh, while the family continued expanding its cities in the Necrotic Realm and on Kazma.
• Nobles from Loran and Odyssey City-States, along with some Gevot City-State nobles, joined the bone trade and signed supply contracts with the Wrynn Family.
• Medivh directed the family’s earnings toward buying bones and magical materials, trading Alchemical Crossbow Carts to obtain supplies for magical defenses.

Medivh broke through to become a Fifth Rank Low-Level Necromancer, allowing him to revive Black-Grade Skeletons. He created a Black Gold Griffin, gave it to Audrey, and promised more to Hilda and the countesses.

• Medivh gave Audrey the Black Gold Griffin as a mount and bodyguard.
• Hilda asked Medivh for a Black Gold Griffin, and Medivh promised one to everyone, including Isabella and the other countesses.

After becoming a Sixth-Rank powerhouse, Medivh joined Lothar City-State by supplying two thousand Alchemical Crossbow Carts, hoping to secure access to fresh bone-rich war territories. The Wrynn Family gained noble status, and Medivh sent troops to the front as he sought to establish long-distance portals connecting its territories.

• Medivh followed his daily cultivation routine, raised his Bone Spirit rank to low-level Sixth Rank, and became a Sixth-Rank powerhouse.
• Marquis Katarina's envoy offered the Wrynn Family noble status in Lothar City-State in exchange for urgently supplying two thousand Alchemical Crossbow Carts, and Medivh agreed.
• The Lothar City-State Noble Council approved the Wrynn Family's membership, and Medivh accepted that the family would be conscripted after just one year.
• Medivh sent the low-level Sixth-Rank No. 5 Bone Spirit Substitute and the Skeleton and Human Legions to Lothar City-State's war territory.
• After the conscription order arrived, the No. 5 Bone Spirit Substitute led part of the forces to the Plane Portal while others stayed to manage the territory.
• Medivh applied to build long-distance portals linking the war territory with Kurd City and sought approval for another portal from the Loran City-State Noble Council.

The Wrynn Family joined Lothar City-State’s landing battle on the New Moon Plane, using overwhelming firepower to defend its position and support construction of the Plane Portal. After crushing an aerial assault, the family held its defensive line while other fronts faced close combat.

• The Noble Council approved the Wrynn Family’s request to build a long-distance portal powered by its Dark Tower network.
• Lothar City-State’s Expeditionary Legions landed on the New Moon Plane and built a single Plane Portal at the center of their Landing Site.

• Medivh ordered the Wrynn Family’s Sky Bow Battalion, Thunderbolt Battalion, and Raging Flame cannons to bombard advancing native legions and stop them from approaching its defensive line.
• The native aerial legion attacked the Wrynn Family’s positions, but its anti-air battalions destroyed the force and killed its Fifth Rank commander.
• Other families shot down many aerial attackers but lost some Alchemical Crossbow Carts as enemy ground forces reached their lines and began close combat.

The Wrynn Family’s defenses devastated the Indigenous Legions, and Medivh reflected on why Gevot’s nobles distrusted foreign Servant Armies. After three months, Lothar City-State launched its counterattack, and the Wrynn Family’s Steel Torrent advanced to pursue the collapsing enemy.

• The Wrynn Family’s Alchemical Weapons and Skeleton Legion stopped Indigenous attacks and killed their Transcendent warriors.
• Medivh observed Lothar’s nobles and considered the history of foreign Servant Armies, the Wrynn Family’s population, and its reliance on the Skeleton Legion.

• The Sky Bow Battalion and Thunderbolt Battalion advanced with the Skeleton Legion, using their mobile firepower to clear the way.
• The Indigenous Legions collapsed under the Wrynn Family’s attack, and the Skeleton Legion pursued them.

Medivh’s Wrynn Family used its Skeleton Legion and Alchemical Weapons to conquer a vast territory during the Lothar City-State’s plane war. After the advance halted, Medivh named his new land Iron Fan Territory and began planning its defenses, while the Indigenous Kingdom avoided attacking it and called on the Church of Light to deal with the Skeleton Legion.

• The Wrynn Family’s four million skeletons and Alchemical War Chariots devastated the Indigenous Kingdom’s forces and captured cities, while logistics skeletons collected bones and the dead.
• Lothar City-State officials praised the Wrynn Family’s advance, and nobles showed interest in buying more of its alchemical weapons after the campaign.
• After two months, General Command ordered the families to fortify their positions and prepare for the Indigenous Kingdom’s counterattack.
• Medivh claimed more than three hundred thousand square kilometers and named the fan-shaped territory Iron Fan Territory, planning to develop it into a defensible Block City.
• The Indigenous Kingdom’s troops bypassed Iron Fan Territory, and their captain said the Church of Light would investigate and deal with the Skeleton Legion.

The Church of Light investigated Iron Fan Territory and accepted that the Skeleton Legion posed no threat, establishing churches alongside its skeletons. When wounded Indigenous Kingdom soldiers witnessed the coexistence, their hopes of the Church purifying the legion collapsed, and one warrior died after losing faith; the convoy rallied around the hope of defending their homes.

• The Church of Light investigated the Skeleton Legion, confirmed its devotion to the Goddess of Light, and left Light Priests in Iron Fan Territory to oversee it.
• Medivh built Light Churches, settled human households in Iron Fan Territory, and expanded its defenses while the Indigenous Kingdom’s counteroffensive continued to claim lives.
• A wounded convoy passed Iron Fan Territory, where an amputee warrior and his blind companion saw armored skeletons guarding the walls beside Light Churches.
• The amputee warrior lost hope when he realized the Church of Light was living peacefully alongside the Skeleton Legion, and he died in silence.
• The convoy commander rallied the wounded to fight for their homes, though resentment toward the Church of Light had already begun to grow.

Medivich kept expanding Iron Fan Territory and building the Wrynn Family’s bone trade while the Church of Light maintained its neutrality and tolerated his work. When Marquis Cassio called for troops to aid Demacia Kingdom against the Bronzebeard Kingdom, Medivich readily committed a legion to the new war.

• The Goddess of Light upheld the Church of Light’s neutral stance despite the people’s hostility and the closure of many churches.
• Medivich continued developing Iron Fan Territory and arranged to buy bones from plane lords and Lothar City-State nobles in exchange for the Wrynn Family’s weapons and specialty goods.
• The Church of Light tacitly approved of Medivich’s monitored bone business, which helped nobles guard bones and the Church catch illegal Necromancers.
• Marquis Cassio asked whether the Wrynn Family could join another plane war, and Medivich agreed because he needed more high-grade bones.
• The Wrynn Family sent two million Skeletons and a Kurd Legion to support Demacia Kingdom against the Bronzebeard Kingdom’s invasion, in exchange for a base and captured territory for Lothar City-State.
