Medivh advanced to the Ninth Rank while the Wrynn Family continued to prosper, as the Goddess of Light confronted the harm her efforts to impose balance had caused across the Star Sea.

The Goddess of Light announced that she would abolish the Light Covenant and unseal the Bottomless Abyss, while gradually restricting both sides to fighters below God Rank.

After the Light Covenant’s preaching restrictions were lifted, Medivh organized allied forces to seize planes before Legendary power restrictions ended in ten years.

Medivh reviewed the Wrynn alliance’s territorial expansion as the ten-year seal ended and the Bottomless Abyss appeared, releasing the Abyssal Demons. With restrictions lifted for lower Legendary powerhouses, Sage Moana urged Medivh to begin the Holy Remains Realm plan, while assuring him the Church of Light could withstand the coming threat.

• Over the next seven years, Medivh cultivated, advanced to the Ninth Rank in four Transcendent systems, and helped Luna spread Myconids while the Necromancer Council quietly rebuilt its strength.
• Medivh and the Church of Light purified Necrotic Realm Fragment Spaces, forcing the Necromancer Council to avoid areas protected by Light Priests.

• After more than a year of costly attacks, the Abyssal Overlords abandoned the Divine Grace Plane of Light and other defended planes to pursue easier prey.

After the Abyssal Demons were repelled, Medivh’s Holy Remains Replacement Plan created a vast Origin Plane where holy and necrotic rules contended. He committed to conquering its necrotic regions, while the Church of Light guarded the plane and the rival undead forces fought across it.

• The Spore Jungle and Bone Warehouse used Abyssal Demon remains to replenish their forces, and Medivh expected the light-aligned factions to grow stronger over time.
• In the eighth year after the Abyssal Demons arrived, hidden Necrotic Realm fragments joined the Holy Remains Spaces to form an Origin Plane, where the Star Sea Rules gave the Holy Remains rules a slight advantage over necrotic rules.

The Wrynn Family drove Abyssal Demons from contested planes with its regenerating Bone Spirits, allied Myconids, and coordinated forces, expanding the Wrynn Alliance. As Medivh built ties with sea clans, Aisha, Queen of the Ice-Snow Elves, offered herself to him as her tribe placed its bet on the Wrynn Family.

• War Goblins, Skeleton Warriors, Light Priestesses, and God-Forged Mecha fought together against the Abyssal Demon Legion.
• The Abyssal Overlords withdrew as the Wrynn Family's Bone Spirits left them with no useful spoils and an unsustainable war.

• Medivh expanded the Wrynn Alliance by developing conquered planes and winning the Scale-men of the East Sea and the Azure Wave Dragon Clan as allies.
• In Dragon Palace, Aisha, Queen of the Ice-Snow Elves, offered herself to Medivh as the Ice-Snow Elf Tribe placed its bet on the Wrynn Family.

Aisha joined Medivh’s Wrynn Family and was made queen of the Ice-Snow Elves, while the Dragon-Kin secretly pledged themselves to the Abyssal Magic Dragon and launched an invasion of the Blackstone Plane. After the deception was exposed, Medivh joined the resistance on the Dragon Continent and ordered defenses built to keep the Abyssal Demons from landing.

• Aisha attached herself to Medivh’s Wrynn Family, and Medivh appointed her queen of Ice-Snow Elf tribes across multiple planes.
• The Dragon-Kin pledged their race to the Abyssal Magic Dragon, received demonic dragon blood, and transformed into Abyssal Dragon Kin.
• After six months, the Dragon-Kin declared war on the continents, then led their main forces against the colonial powers while feinting an attack on the Dragon Continent.
• The Abyssal Demons ambushed the Colonial Allied Forces, revealing the Dragon-Kin’s betrayal and turning the war against the Blackstone Plane.
• Medivh joined the coalition resisting the Abyssal Demons on the Dragon Continent and ordered the Undersea District built as a defensive line.

Medivh and his allies prepared the Blackstone Plane to resist the Abyssal Demons while the Abyssal Demon Dragon Lord used the Dragon-Kin as bait to lure colonial forces into a devastating trap. After crushing the colonies on two continents, the demon armies attacked the Dragon Continent, where Medivh’s defenses opened fire.

• Lux, Satena, Amia, the Scale-men, and the Ice-Snow Elves sent forces to support Medivh in defending the Blackstone Plane.
• The Abyssal Demon Dragon Lord left the Dragon-Kin to fight the colonial forces, using both sides as cannon fodder until they were weakened.
• The Abyssal Demon Legion attacked the two continents, routed the colonial forces, and obtained the coordinates of some home planes when their Plane Portals were not destroyed in time.
• The Abyssal Demon Dragon Lord sent three flying armies to attack the Dragon Continent while the Scale-men failed to intercept the main force at sea.
• Medivh ordered the coastal defenses to fire, and anti-air cannons and Alchemical War Chariots inflicted heavy losses on the advancing demons.

The Abyssal Demon armies were trapped by the Dragon-Breath Wilderness’s defenses while the Colonial Allied Forces collapsed and prepared to flee. Medivh refused to retreat and activated the hidden energy powering a devastating Chaotic Elemental Storm, ordering his allies underground.

• The Abyssal Demon Dragon Lord ordered attacks on the Mage Towers, but the Block City’s cannons and defenders inflicted heavy casualties and pinned down the Demon army.
• The other two Demon armies failed to reinforce the one at the Block City, while the Colonial Allied Forces’ defenses on the Dragon Continent neared collapse.
• A Legendary Knight of the Osman Family warned Medivh that the Gewalt Federation planned to retreat, and Medivh lamented that the allies had fled first.
• Red Dragon Queen Alexstrasza asked Medivh whether he would retreat as the three Demon armies converged, but Medivh revealed he had been waiting for them.
• Medivh activated Backup Hidden Energy, unleashing a Chaotic Elemental Storm over the Dragon-Breath Wilderness, and ordered his allies to shelter in the Underground District City.

The Wrynn Alliance used a Chaotic Elemental Storm to destroy the demon armies and force the Abyssal Demon Dragon Lord to abandon his attack. With the Dragon-Breath Wilderness secure, Medivh divided the Blackstone Plane’s territories between the Dragon Tribe and the Spore Jungle.

• The Chaotic Elemental Storm devastated the demon armies, but surviving Abyssal Demons discovered Block City’s Magic Rune Walls offered shelter.
• The Elemental Tower Spirits and Wrynn Alliance powerhouses killed the demons who reached Block City, then worked with the Church of Light and Elemental Lords to repair the rift and calm the storm.

• Sage Moana recognized that the demon lords had temporarily abandoned their attack, while Lux had led the Legion of Light in defending the Dragon-Breath Wilderness.
• Medivh divided the Blackstone Plane’s spoils, assigning the Dragon Continent to the Dragon Tribe and the Dragon-Kin Continent to the Spore Jungle.

Medivh consolidated the Blackstone Plane and expanded the Wrynn Alliance’s wars across the Star Sea, clashing with gods who tried to control his forces. The Gods of the Light Alliance watched the Church of Light’s unexpected success and considered Medivh’s coming transformation into a Holy Light Necromancer God.

• Medivh established the Blackstone Plane as the Wrynn Alliance’s second fully owned Tenth Rank plane and strengthened its defenses with twenty-seven resurrected Jade Bone Bone Dragons.
• The Wrynn Alliance continued conquering planes, while Medivh’s forces defeated Abyssal Demons and unruly native factions with little difficulty.
• Medivh sent troops to destroy the churches and statues of gods whose followers tried to drive out or command the Wrynn Family’s Expeditionary Army.
• The Goddess of Fire Prayer supported Medivh, who planned to become the Lord of Holy Remains and gain strength comparable to the gods.
• The Gods of the Light Alliance discussed how the Church of Light had flourished without their protection and noted that Medivh might soon join their alliance.

Medivh made the Holy Remains Plane the Wrynn Family's main base, helping its allies expand and grow stronger there. When the Tarot Plane began ascending toward a higher rank and risked attracting an Abyssal Demon Lord, the Wrynn Alliance gathered to defend it.

• Medivh relocated the Wrynn Family's main base to the Holy Remains Plane, naming its territory the Holy Remains Empire and its capital Storm City.
• Alexstrasza and the Legendary Red Dragons established a base on the Origin Plane, where they could pursue advancement without the restrictions they faced on the Blackstone Plane.
• Medivh's Light Priest companions helped him temper his bones, while the Wrynn Alliance mass-produced skeletons and conquered and developed more planes with the Spore Jungle.
• Spore Queen Luna asked Medivh for help as the Ninth-Rank Tarot Plane began ascending and evolving, likely drawing an Abyssal Demon Lord's attention.
• The Church of Light, the Fire-Praying Church, the Dragons, and the Scale-men rallied to defend the Tarot Plane, and the Skeleton Legion arrived alongside the roaring War Goblins.

After ascending to a Tenth-Rank Plane, the Tarot Plane repelled an Abyssal Demon invasion with the Wrynn Alliance’s defenses, while the Myconids and Spore Queen Luna rejected the Gods’ attempts to claim influence. The chapter then turned to Skyfire Plane’s own ascension, which the Goddess of Fire Prayer defended strongly enough to deter an Abyssal Demon Lord.

• After the Tarot Plane settled following its ascension, Abyssal Demons invaded, but the Overlords who recognized the Spore Fiends’ defenses withdrew.
• The Wrynn Alliance bombarded the invading demons with cannons and spores, causing heavy casualties and infected demons to attack their own forces.
• A month later, the demons still could not break through, and advancing Myconids helped defeat the Legendary Demons until the Abyssal Demon Lords abandoned the invasion.
• Gods and God Rank powerhouses watched the Tarot Plane’s defense, while the Myconids rejected the Gods’ emissaries and Spore Queen Luna pursued her own path to God Rank.
• Vesta urged Skyfire Plane to ascend to the Tenth Rank, and the Goddess of Fire Prayer raised Legendary guardians to deter an Abyssal Demon Lord’s probing attack.

After the Skyfire Plane advanced, Medivh helped the Goddess of Fire Prayer strengthen her position and taught the Fire-Praying Sages a new dance. Fifteen years later, the Wrynn Alliance had claimed its gifted planes and shifted from conquest to development and defense as the next stage of the Light Covenant approached.

• The Skyfire Plane became a Tenth-Rank Plane, and the Goddess of Fire Prayer's blessings elevated many Fire-Praying Spirit Witches.
• Vesta invited Medivh to perform the Floating Fire-Prayer Dance, and he spent the following month teaching Satena, Amia, and the other Fire-Praying Sages.
• Over fifteen years, the Wrynn Alliance occupied all the planes granted by the nobles of the Gevot City-State and distributed them among its allied forces.
• Medivh halted further plane wars and focused on developing the Alliance's holdings and strengthening their defenses ahead of the Light Covenant's next stage.
• As planes evolved and attracted Abyssal Demons and rival forces, Medivh relied on fortified defenses while Luna used evolving planes to lure enemies and acquire Spore Planes.

Queen Luna completed the Spore Tower System, allowing the Spore Jungle to collect energy independently while remaining connected to Medivh and the Wrynn Family. She raised the Syndicate Plane to Tenth Rank, where its defenders repelled an Abyssal Demon invasion, and then focused on recovery rather than launching another promotion.

• Queen Luna showed Medivh the Spore Tower System, which collected Void and elemental energy and gave the Spore Jungle a closed energy loop alongside the Wrynn Dark Tower System.
• Luna assured Medivh that she still needed him, and the two continued their life together as Myconids produced Myco-Dragons through rare pregnancies.
• Queen Luna connected the Spore Planes through Spatial Mycelium and gathered energy to promote the Syndicate Plane to Tenth Rank, while postponing the Sam Plane's upgrade.
• After the Syndicate Plane's promotion, its garrison feigned weakness and then revealed Lower Legendary fighters, inflicting heavy losses on an invading Demon Legion.
• The Spore Jungle covered the expanded Syndicate Plane and raised Spore Towers, while Queen Luna gave injured fighters time to recover before attempting another plane promotion.
