Medivh watched the Star Sea descend into a fifty-year struggle in which its rulers sold out ordinary people and carved the planes into spheres of influence, while the Light Alliance protected only those who still welcomed it. During that time, Medivh and the Holy Remains Plane grew stronger, leaving the Wrynn Alliance with a vast force of Bone Spirits and skeletons.

Medivh and Luna recruited elves and fairies into the Tarot Nature Pantheon, then joined the Church of Light and the Hall Angels to help the Horn Plane advance into an Origin Plane. The Abyssal Demons tried to rally the All Spirits of the Star Sea against the Holy Hall of Light, but the spirits refused to take sides.

• Luna brought elf and fairy representatives to Medivh for assessment, and thirty-six candidates received the first chances to ascend to godhood.
• Luna reserved the next thirty-six ascension chances for elves and fairies who bore Medivh children.
• In June of Wrynn Year 905, Medivh and Luna asked the Hall Angels and Church of Light to help the Horn Plane advance, and Kayle and Moanna sent the proposal to the Holy Hall of Light.
• The seven goddesses and the gathered deities approved the proposal, and Luna and the God of Light began channeling energy to advance the Horn Plane.
• The Abyssal Demons called on the All Spirits of the Star Sea to oppose the Holy Hall of Light, but the spirits refused, hoping the conflict would curb the demons and leave them room to expand.

An unclaimed Twelfth Rank plane ascended into an Origin Plane, but its awake Plane Will turned its natives into Khorne’s gods of slaughter and fought off the invading Star Sea factions and Abyssal Demons. The plane became the Khorne Plane, a persistent Sin Domain whose corruption could follow survivors back to their own worlds.

• Medivh kept the Wrynn Alliance out of the conflict, judging that it lacked the strength to challenge the Star Sea factions and Abyssal Demons alone.
• After the plane ascended, its Plane Will remained awake and helped its natives ascend to godhood as invaders entered.
• The Plane Will created guardians and empowered the native gods, whose brutal slaughter killed many invaders and enabled more natives to ascend.
• The Khorne Rule spread through the plane, turning Abyssal Demons into Terror Demons or Tyrant Demons and driving Star Sea Transcendents to attack friend and foe alike.
• The invaders retreated into strongholds or withdrew as the plane became known as the Khorne Plane, where factions and Abyssal Demons continued fighting amid its creatures.
• Khorne’s mark persisted on those who left the plane, and repeated slaughter could awaken its corruption far from the Khorne Plane.

Medivh and Luna considered how the Star Sea Rules had created the Khorne Plane to counter the growing strength of the Light Alliance, spreading Khorne corruption across the Star Sea and Abyss. As the Khorne threat continued to grow, the Tzeentch Plane appeared after a Fel Overlord corrupted a Thirteenth Rank Plane, leaving Medivh stunned that Fel Energy could raid a home, too.

• Medivh reflected on how the Khorne Plane had turned its natives into Khorne Creatures and spread Khorne corruption through the Star Sea and Abyss.
• Luna suggested the Star Sea Rules had created new sources of evil to keep the Light Alliance from growing too powerful, and Medivh agreed.
• Medivh recalled that the Star Sea Rules had previously unleashed the Nightmare Fiends and Nightmares to balance the growing power of light.
• A Fel Overlord who called himself the God of Conspiracy, Tzeentch, schemed against the native God Rank powerhouses of a Thirteenth Rank Plane and corrupted it with Fel Energy.
• The Tzeentch Plane came into being, and Medivh wondered how Fel Energy had managed to raid someone's home.

Medivh failed to persuade the Star Sea gods and Abyssal Demon Gods to oppose the Three Sources of Evil, so the Light Alliance prepared for war on every front. The chapter ended with Light Alliance forces attacking Abyssal worlds as Titan City deployed on the thirty-third layer and its troops charged into battle.

• Medivh urged the Star Sea powers to destroy Tzeentch and curb Fel Energy, but they rejected his proposal and let Tzeentch, Khorne, and Nurgle grow.
• The Three Sources of Evil and Abyssal forces attacked the Wrynn Alliance and Light Alliance, while the Star Sea gods and Abyssal Demon Gods blocked the Light Alliance from striking at their planes.
• The Holy Hall of Light ordered a full-scale assault on Abyssal worlds, and the Light Alliance launched forces from its outposts to attack five layers of the Surface Abyss World.
• Tens of thousands of God-Forged Titan mechs joined to form Titan City on the thirty-third layer, establishing a forward base for the Light Alliance.
• Titan City's cannons opened fire as Alchemy War Chariots, airships, War Goblins, Bone Spirits, and Holy Remains Skeletons advanced against Abyssal Demons and Abyssal Fiends.
