Chapter Summaries

After the Indigenous Kingdom destroyed the Plane Portal and besieged the first Expeditionary Army, its legion attacked the Skeleton Legion near the Spore Jungle. Medivh’s forces crushed the assault and revealed thirteen sixth-rank Bone Golems to confront the enemy’s reinforcements.

• Zaun City-State and Odyssey City-State mobilized reinforcements while their stranded Expeditionary Army struggled to withstand the Indigenous Kingdom’s attacks.
• The Indigenous Kingdom’s legion attacked the Skeleton Legion, and Medivh’s archers, crossbows, and artillery devastated its ranks.
• The Skeleton Legion’s snipers and Hunting Squads killed enemy Transcendents, prompting the Indigenous Kingdom’s fifth-rank powerhouses to join the fight.
• Odyssey City-State warned the Wrynn Expeditionary Army that sixth-rank enemies were approaching and advised it to retreat into the Spore Jungle if necessary.
• Number One’s Bone Spirit Substitute and twelve sixth-rank Rock Bone Dragons activated thirteen Bone Golems to face the enemy’s thirteen sixth-rank Transcendents.

The Spore Jungle overwhelmed the Indigenous Kingdom’s forces and surrounded the Skeleton Legion, while Medivh kept his army sheltered and observed the Jungle’s growing Mycelium Constructs. As the Odyssey and Zaun City-States launched another battle elsewhere, Medivh focused on expanding the Underground District and preparing to escape on his own.

• Medivh ordered the Kurd Fifth Legion underground as Parasitic Spores swept across the battlefield, infecting Indigenous soldiers and Transcendents while the Bone Spirits held them back.
• Medivh instructed the Skeleton Legion to stay inside the walls and avoid provoking the Spore Jungle as the mycelium spread across their landing site.
• The Odyssey City-State’s powerhouses warned the Wrynn Expeditionary Army to wait for rescue, while Medivh continued expanding the Underground District.
• Medivh observed Mycelium Bodies forming life-energy cores and evolving into hard-to-kill Mycelium Constructs with fewer weaknesses.
• The Zaun and Odyssey City-States began a second landing battle, while Medivh stayed behind and worked to secure the Skeleton Legion’s survival.

Medivh expanded the Skeleton Legion’s Underground District while avoiding a fight with the Spore Jungle Overlord, but when the Overlord threatened the city, the Wrynn Dark Towers proved unable to counter its mycelium. Medivh abandoned resistance and left the Skeleton Legion, Light Priest Corps, and Kurd Fifth Legion waiting inside the sealed territory for rescue or another solution.

• The Spore Jungle Overlord monitored the Skeleton Legion’s expanding Underground District and had previously killed skeletons who tried to dig their way out.
• After more than half a year, the Underground District became a sixteen-ring Block City, and the Overlord covered it with mycelium as if preparing to attack.
• Medivh ordered the Elemental Skeleton Mages to build Wrynn Dark Towers and sent the Light Priest Corps and Kurd Fifth Legion to the Deep Shelter.
• The Overlord’s Energy-Absorbing Mycelium drew power from the city’s Magic Runes and blocked the Chaotic Elemental Storm, so Medivh ordered the Dark Tower Spirits to stop and the Skeleton Legion to wait.
• The Overlord loosened the mycelium sealing the city without attacking, and Medivh stopped expanding the city and arranged for the skeletons to farm while they waited for rescue or a chance to seek help.

Medivh met Spore Queen Luna, who revealed that she ruled the Sam Plane through the underground Mycelium Network, and negotiated an energy-supply agreement instead of becoming her subordinate. The two began cooperating while Luna waited for the Indigenous Kingdom and the city-states to weaken one another before she intervened.

• Luna confronted Medivh over his stalled city expansion and the Elemental Energy Pool, then showed him the Mycelium Network beneath the Sam Plane.
• Luna introduced Mengli, a Fairy Dragon who had learned about Medivh by reading the dreams of his subordinates and allies.
• Medivh rejected becoming Luna's subordinate but agreed to cooperate, supplying energy to the Spore Jungle in exchange for a share of the plane and bones for producing Time Skeletons.
• Medivh restarted the Elemental Energy Pool, and the Skeleton Engineering Team resumed expanding the city around Wrynn Dark Tower.
• Luna planned to wait until the Indigenous Kingdom, Odyssey City-State, and Zaun City-State had weakened one another, then attack the Indigenous Kingdom first.

As Luna reclaimed the Sam Plane, the Church of Light and the Kurd Fifth Legion evacuated while the Indigenous Kingdom's forces were overwhelmed by the Myconids. After Medivh warned Odyssey City-State and Zaun City-State to flee, the two city-states began evacuating their armies.

• Bishop Syndra ordered Lux, Freya, and the other priests to leave the Sam Plane, and the Kurd Fifth Legion departed with the Church of Light aboard Alchemy Airships.
• Luna spread Spore Dust and Mycelial Carpet across the Sam Plane, transforming living creatures into Mycelium Constructs as the Indigenous Kingdom's territory was swallowed.
• High-ranking Myconids and Mycelium Constructs attacked the Indigenous Kingdom Allied Forces, while Luna gave the Gevot People time to evacuate before advancing on them.
• At Odyssey City-State, the Kurd Fifth Legion's commander relayed Medivh's warning that the city-states should evacuate because the Skeleton Legion was trapped and the Spore Jungle could not be defeated.
• After a legendary warrior from the Gewalt Federation warned them to retreat, the commanders of Odyssey City-State and Zaun City-State ordered their forces to evacuate through the Plane Portals.

The Light Church immigrants from the Sam Plane settled under the Wrynn Family, while Freya returned home and agreed to become Yrel’s teacher. After the Spore Queen took control of the Sam Plane, Medivh built a new energy system and negotiated a partnership that let the Time Skeletons and Myconids coexist.

• The Light Priests and people of Light Territory from the Sam Plane were arranged to settle in the Wrynn Family’s territory, and the Light Priests joined Archbishop Moana’s faction.
• Freya returned to Tower No. 1, met Audrey and Yrel, and agreed to guide Yrel in the Way of the Holy Shepherd.
• The Spore Queen destroyed the Indigenous Kingdom’s forces, and the Plane Portal destroyed itself after its final transmission, leaving the Sam Plane under the Spore Jungle’s control.
• Medivh began replacing the Plane Decomposer system with Elemental Energy Pools and persuaded Queen Luna to allow Elemental Lands and designated Elemental Wells.
• The Spore Queen gave Medivh old bones, and they agreed to share the Block Cities’ output equally while the two energy systems coexisted.
• Bishop Syndra watched the Time Skeletons and Myconids coexist and praised Medivh for resolving conflicts through cooperation.

Medivh concealed the Wrynn Family’s gains in the Sam Plane while Odyssey City-State apologized for the apparent destruction of his Skeleton Legion. He and the Spore Queen established an energy supply and expanded their cooperation, leaving the Sam Plane poised to rise in rank.

• An Odyssey City-State envoy apologized to Medivh for failing to retrieve the Wrynn Family’s Skeleton Legion and promised the family its choice of landing site in future invasions.
• Odyssey’s nobles and Draven mourned the Wrynn Family’s supposed losses, unaware that Medivh had suffered no real damage.
• Medivh used Number One and the Wrynn Dark Towers to open a Spatial Rift, then had Elemental Skeleton Mages build Elemental Wells to draw energy from the Elemental Realm.
• The Spore Jungle absorbed energy from the Elemental Land and Elemental Wells, while Medivh opened a Plane Portal and brought in Logistics Skeletons and Mud Swamp monsters to expand Block City.
• Luna promised to send Mycelium Constructs to help Medivh when needed, and she prepared to raise the Sam Plane’s rank so that she, Mengli, and the Eighth-Rank Myconids could advance.

Medivh’s Sam Plane settled into a new role for the Goblins, and he advanced to Mid-Grade Fifth Rank Necromancer. When the Sam Plane ascended to Ninth Rank, the Spore Queen repelled the powerful invaders who tried to seize it, leaving her in control of the plane.

• Light Priests from Moana’s faction built churches in Sam Plane’s Block Cities and saw how Medivh raised Goblins for food, materials, and labor.
• Medivh advanced to Mid-Grade Fifth Rank Necromancer and resurrected two Mid-Grade Black Bone Transcendental Skeletons.
• The Sam Plane began ascending with energy from the Spore Jungle, drawing Ninth Rank Transcendents who waited outside its barrier.
• When the Sam Plane reached Ninth Rank, the invaders broke through the Plane Barrier, but the Spore Queen fought them and forced Medivh’s Bone Spirit Substitute out of the Mycelium Network.
• Two and a half months later, Medivh’s Bone Spirit Substitute reconnected and saw the Spore Queen and her allies holding the plane as the wounded invaders withdrew.

After the Sam Plane advanced to the Ninth Rank, the Spore Queen invited Medivh to celebrate and offered to take him on future plane conquests. Medivh stayed in the Sam Plane to prepare for war, while Mengli revealed that she was considering how to reproduce the Fairy Dragon species.

• The Spore Queen invited Medivh to a celebration after the Spore Jungle repelled an invasion and covered the Sam Plane.
• Medivh attended with Archbishop Moana, and the Spore Queen tested him with Parasitic Mycelium before welcoming him as her partner.
• Mengli ate the Skeleton Chefs' mushroom dishes and asked the Spore Queen to identify all the edible mushrooms in the Spore Jungle.
• The Spore Queen offered to take Medivh to conquer planes whose coordinates her spores had found, and Medivh agreed to prepare the Skeleton Legion.
• Mengli began visiting Medivh's castle for food, and she told the Spore Queen that she was considering how to continue the Fairy Dragon species without finding others of her kind.

Mengli conceived a Dragon egg with Medivh, while the Spore Queen prepared the Spore Jungle’s first invasion of another plane. The Skeleton Legion and Mycelium Construct Legion gained the advantage in the conventional war as both sides suffered heavy losses on the Summit Battlefield, and the Indigenous Kingdom faced betrayal by its neighboring kingdoms.

• Mengli conceived a Dragon egg with Medivh using the Red Dragon Secret Art and the Fairy Dragon Clan Secret Art, and the Spore Queen welcomed her return.
• In mid-October, the Spore Queen opened the Plane Portal and sent the Skeleton Legion and Mycelium Construct Legion to invade a Seventh Rank plane.
• Following Medivh’s advice, the Myconids committed only enough high-ranking fighters to match the Indigenous Kingdom’s powerhouses while keeping reserves back.
• Number One’s Bone Spirit Substitute, a Sixth Rank Rock Bone Dragon, and other Bone Spirits joined the Myconids in the Summit War, where both sides killed and wounded powerhouses.
• The Skeleton Legion and Mycelium Construct Legion overwhelmed Indigenous soldiers with firepower, God-Forged Cannon Caltrop Shotgun Shells, and Parasitic Mycelium.
• The Indigenous Kingdom’s powerhouses realized that the other kingdoms were waiting for them to be weakened, leaving them to face the invaders or risk being destroyed as deserters.

The Church of Light refused to intervene in the Tianlu Plane war because the Time Skeletons and Mycelium Constructs were not evil undead, leaving the Dito Kingdom to face the invasion alone. As the allied kingdoms joined the battle, the conflict shifted to a fierce contest between powerful fighters on the Summit Battlefield.

• Bishop Maria told the Dito Kingdom's envoy that the Goddess had identified the skeletons as Alchemy Constructs and Mycelium Constructs, so the Church of Light would remain neutral.
• The allied Indigenous Kingdoms committed their forces after the Dito Kingdom had been weakened, pushing its army forward as cannon fodder while preparing to profit from its defeat.
• The Skeleton Legion fired mycelium-laced caltrop shells into the allied troops as Skeleton Warriors and Mycelium Constructs charged into close combat.
• Spore Queen Luna watched the battle through the Mycelium Network while Medivh and Luna praised each other's forces and discussed the strengths of their partnership.
• The allied kingdoms concluded they could not win on the conventional battlefield and sent powerful fighters to challenge the enemy on the Summit Battlefield.
• The Myconid powerhouses joined the Summit Battlefield and held their ground against the Indigenous Kingdoms' fighters.

The Myconids and Medivh overwhelmed the Tianlu Plane after other-plane factions refused to send reinforcements. As the plane was converted into a Spore Plane, the victors divided its resources and began rebuilding it for their needs.

• The Myconids committed their stronger forces to the Summit Battlefield, while Eighth- and Ninth-Rank Myconids sealed the Tianlu Plane from outside.
• Other-plane factions weighed the risks of helping the Indigenous Kingdom and refused its pleas for support.
• The Skeleton Legion and Mycelium Constructs swept across the Tianlu Plane, replacing nearly all life with the Spore Jungle as Archbishop Moana watched the transformation.
• Medivh and Spore Queen Luna divided the spoils, with the Spore Queen receiving corpses and Medivh taking the plane’s buried bones.
• The Skeleton Legion built Block Cities and Wrynn Dark Towers, while wounded Myconids recovered in Spindle Silk Cocoons.
• Medivh counted the ancient bones he had gained, pleased that the haul would supply his cultivation for a long time.

Saruman recovered from his near-fatal injuries by surrendering to Fel Energy, then concealed the transformation while plotting against Kugas. Two months later, Medivh joined Loran City-State’s campaign on White Shell Plane with a reduced force, intending to keep the Wrynn Family out of the spotlight and build a base for later wars.

• Saruman drove Kugas out of his Mage Tower, let Fel Energy consume him to heal his wounds, and disguised himself as gravely injured to hide his transformation from the Church of Light.
• Medivh accepted his grandfather Draven’s invitation to join Loran City-State’s next planar campaign despite the Wrynn Family’s losses on Sam Plane.
• Medivh sent one million skeletons with the expeditionary forces, letting other nobles believe the Wrynn Family had been weakened while keeping his main force reserved for a future campaign with the Spore Queen.
• The Wrynn Expeditionary Legion arrived on White Shell Plane, where Loran City-State had agreed to support the Moro Duchy against the expanding Lionman Kingdom and other rival kingdoms.
• Loran’s commanders ordered each family to seize nearby duchies and establish a Human Federation, while avoiding costly attempts to conquer the entire plane outright.

The Wrynn Expeditionary Army helped Loran City-State conquer duchies in the White Shell Plane while the indigenous kingdoms expanded their own territories. After four months, Medivh focused on fortifying the Wrynn Family’s scattered coastal lands as the plane approached a major war.

• The Wrynn Expeditionary Army and allied nobles attacked a southeastern duchy, while the Wrynn Family’s relatives handled its Sixth Rank Transcendents and Medivh’s Bone Spirits helped defeat its Fifth Rank fighters.
• Four hundred thousand Skeleton Warriors crushed the duchy’s troops and captured its territory, while six hundred thousand Logistics Skeletons managed the conquered lands.
• Local Light Priests verified that the Time Skeletons were Alchemy Constructs rather than undead, then continued supervising the Skeleton Legion alongside Moana’s faction’s priests.
• The four indigenous kingdoms and Loran City-State annexed nearby duchies, dividing the White Shell Plane’s land among the Five Great Kingdoms as they prepared for a major war.
• After four months, Medivh strengthened the Wrynn Family’s four separated coastal territories, sending another million skeletons to build defenses and expand the Block City.

As the Wrynn Family fortified its territory on the White Shell Plane, Medivh focused on growing stronger and supporting the Spore Queen’s next campaign. The chapter leaves him deploying the Skeleton Legion for war while Mengli continued visiting him, to Luna’s dismay.

• The Wrynn Family built Fourth Sea City’s walls and traded construction and archaeological services with Loran’s nobles while Medivh avoided excavating the Indigenous Duchies.
• Medivh focused on the Tianlu Plane, where the Mycelium Carpet spread and he worked to revive stronger skeletons so he could reach Seventh-Rank combat strength.
• In mid-December, Number One saw the awakened Myconids return through the Spore Gate as the Spore Queen recalled her forces for another plane war.
• The Spore Queen told Medivh to prepare for an attack on another Seventh-Rank Plane, and the Skeleton Legion traveled through the Plane Portal to Sam City.
• Luna objected when Mengli went to see Medivh again, but Mengli said she could not resist her Dragon Nature and planned to return.

The Spore Queen’s forces conquered the Xian Plane, while Medivh began building an energy system to sustain the expanding Mycelium Carpet. Meanwhile, war broke out in the White Shell Plane, where the Skeleton Legion defended Fourth Sea City.

• The Spore Queen opened a gate to the Xian Plane, and her forces swept through its allied kingdoms as Light Priests monitored the Time Skeletons and Mycelium Constructs.
• The Xian kingdoms summoned aid from a powerful other-plane ally, but the Spore Queen killed several Eighth-Rank Transcendents and drove the reinforcements away.
• The Spore Queen circled Medivh’s High Tower Castle on her return to the Sam Plane, and Medivh understood that she was jealous over her friend.
• The Skeleton Legion and Mycelium Construct Legion conquered the Xian Plane in two and a half months, and Medivh began building Elemental Energy Pools to sustain the spreading Mycelium Carpet.
• War erupted among the White Shell Plane’s kingdoms, and Number One’s Bone Spirit Substitute and the staff defended Fourth Sea City while Medivh stayed away.
• The Skeleton Legion’s defense of Fourth Sea City drove the enemy armies away from attacking the city.

The Five Great Kingdoms dismantled most Indigenous Duchies while the Wrynn Family focused on building and excavation. Medivh welcomed four dragon eggs, strengthened his transcendent ranks, and learned that his father Rhine had become a Seventh Rank Knight.

• The Five Great Kingdoms broke up the duchies that submitted to them, while the Moro Duchy survived under Loran City-State and its Grand Duke became the Earl of Moro.
• Mengli laid four eggs, including a hybrid Lava Dragon and Fairy Dragon that Medivh and Mengli named the Lava Dream Dragon, or Doom Dream Dragon.
• Luna took Mengli and the eggs to an Incubation Nest, while Medivh continued his cultivation and advanced his Dragon, Dragonblood, and Bone Spirit ranks.
• Medivh learned that his father Rhine had advanced to Seventh Rank in Sunset City, where the Hobarton Family's knights were training under him.
• Medivh congratulated Rhine, who credited his progress to the Red Dragon Queen's Origin Dragon Blood.

Medivh’s growing family and influence in Flame Dragon City drew attention when Shyvana became pregnant with five Dragon Eggs and the Red Dragon Queen visited. After the Queen departed, three young Red Dragons arrived, and Shyvana cautiously asked Zyra why they had come.

• Medivh toured Flame Dragon City, where Camilla envied Shyvana and the other Red Dragons for having such a strong partner.
• Shyvana discovered she was carrying five Dragon Eggs, and Medivh celebrated with her after confirming that her health was not at risk.
• Rhine hosted Draven and Udir for a drinking feast to celebrate the coming child, while Draven urged Medivh to have more offspring.
• Alexstrasza visited Flame Dragon City, approved of Shyvana’s life with Medivh, and accepted his gifts and his plans for the region.
• Augustus and another Ninth-Rank knight watched Alexstrasza’s visit, then departed with the other Transcendents after she left.
• Three young female Red Dragons arrived, and Shyvana warily asked Zyra what had brought them there.

Shyvana welcomed Zyra and two other Female Rock Dragons to Flame Dragon City, where Medivh helped them, while Rock Dragon Nomxi evolved and joined the effort to restore the Rock Dragon Clan. Later, the Spore Queen invited Medivh and the Wrynn Family to join a coming war against an Eighth Rank Plane, despite being annoyed that Mengli kept seeking him out.

• Shyvana introduced Zyra and the other two Female Rock Dragons to Medivh, and he satisfied them with the Red Dragon Secret Art.
• In mid-February, Nomxi evolved from a Seventh Rank Mud Swamp Dragon into a Seventh Rank Rock Dragon and pledged loyalty to Oriana.
• Nomxi asked Medivh to help her produce pureblood Rock Dragons, while the clan continued cultivating the Mud Swamp Dragons' bloodlines.
• In mid-May, Luna called Medivh a thief after Mengli slipped away to find him, then invited the Wrynn Family to join the Spore Jungle's next Plane War.
• Medivh agreed to follow Luna's lead, and she huffed when Mengli exchanged glances with him after their meeting.

Spore Queen Luna and Medivh threw two Eighth Rank planes into turmoil to weaken them for the Spore Jungle’s eventual conquest, while Medivh urged Luna to develop the Sunshine Mushroom Project. Luna accepted his vision and grew used to his relationship with Fairy Dragon Mengli, though she still felt the change between them.

• Spore Queen Luna used Parasitic Mycelium to provoke border clashes, assassinations, rebellions, and wars across two Eighth Rank planes while the Spore Jungle expanded its influence.
• The native Church of Light traced the chaos to the Spore Jungle and began monitoring it after learning that Spore Parasites were not traditional evil creatures.
• Medivh advised Luna to pursue his Sunshine Mushroom Project, which would let the Spore Jungle produce its own energy and resources and demonstrate its loyalty to the light.
• Luna questioned whether the project would make Medivh unnecessary, and he said he welcomed his allies’ growth even if it cost him his role.
• Luna praised Medivh’s outlook and gradually accepted that Fairy Dragon Mengli’s relationship with him meant she could not return to their former closeness.
