Medivh welcomed his second son, Arthas, whose birth carried both the Blessing of Light and powerful Ice Wolf and Lava Dragon bloodlines, then helped Hilda and the others acquire Dragon Blood to speed their advancement. The Ice Plains Tribe’s letter predicted Arthas would become its king, while Medivh ended the chapter sparring with Hilda.

Medivh sent Number Four and the Wrynn Mixed Legion to serve as chief of logistics in Odyssey’s first plane campaign, using skeletons to establish farming and supply operations in the conquered territory. After arriving to find the front lines littered with bodies, Number Four followed orders to build fortresses and reclaim land while Medivh stayed behind to develop a stronghold.

• Medivh planned to supply the Loran Expeditionary Force with Ulan City’s surplus grain and mass-produced war supplies, benefiting both the Wrynn Family and Loran City-State.
• In late September, Medivh answered Odyssey City-State’s call by sending Number Four to lead a 420,000-strong mixed legion of Combat Skeletons, Logistics Skeletons, and Kurd Fourth Legion soldiers.

• General Command Headquarters ordered Number Four to send Skeleton Engineering Teams to build fortresses and direct the remaining skeletons to clear land for farming.
• The Skeleton Legion reclaimed fields, began building a central district, and prepared to store enemy corpses, while Medivh delayed archaeological excavation and focused on developing a stronghold.

Medivh supported the Odyssey Expedition by arranging another sale of Anti-Air Ballistas while secretly expanding his Skeleton Legion and its power. He continued searching for valuable Necromancer knowledge, but his excavations had yielded little, and older remains were difficult to find.

• The Odyssey Expedition’s Iron-Clad Ballista Battalions suffered heavy losses in battle, so its command sought more Anti-Air Ballistas from the Wrynn Family.
• Medivh sold the Odyssey City-State a second batch of three hundred Anti-Air Ballistas, hoping its territorial gains would secure his archaeological work.
• Medivh unlocked the ability to resurrect Top-Grade Yellow Bone Transcendental Skeletons and increased his forces, including 340 Fourth Rank Skeletons.
• The Snow Fox-people and Snow Werewolves gained Fifth Rank leaders, but continued to follow Medivh, who kept the Skeleton Legion’s strength hidden from outsiders.
• Medivh found little useful Necromancer knowledge in excavated bones and concluded that he needed remains from before the Necrotic Scourge, especially those of Liches or older Necromancers.

Medivh expanded the Wrynn Family’s skeleton-powered farming, mining, and construction in the Odyssey Expeditionary Force’s land-clearing zone, turning it into Golden Wheat City. After its first harvest began supplying the Expeditionary Legion, Odyssey City-State sent more troops to launch a second campaign while Medivh stayed behind to manage his territory.

• Medivh counted more than 3.4 million skeletons under his command and continued using them to strengthen the Wrynn Family’s territories.
• Skeletons cleared wasteland, planted wheat, mined ore, and built districts, impressing the Odyssey Expeditionary Force’s commanders and rear guards with their productivity.
• Over two and a half months, the land-clearing zone gained eight rings of districts, and Medivh named the territory Golden Wheat City after its first golden harvest.
• Golden Wheat City milled its wheat into flour for the Expeditionary Legion and began supplying weapons, armor, and arrows, while its skeleton farmers planted a second crop.
• After receiving Golden Wheat City’s grain, Odyssey City-State transported more troops and launched its second campaign, while Medivh remained behind to farm and conduct archaeology.

After discovering that Ulan City supplied the human Expeditionary Legion, the Lizardman king ordered Marshal Ululu to conquer it. Ululu led 400,000 troops to the city and tried to fly over its defenses, unaware that its anti-air ballistae were ready.

• Lizardman assassins reported that Ulan City supplied the Expeditionary Legion, and their evidence stunned the Royal Court ministers.
• The Lizardman king ordered Marshal Ululu to attack Ulan Gobi and seize Ulan City as a supply base.
• Ululu gathered 400,000 troops and marched toward Ulan City with few supplies, expecting to take the city and feast there.
• Medivh ordered the Skeleton Legion to stop construction and prepare to crush the invading Lizardman army.
• Ululu led the Flying Lizard Cavalry Regiment toward Ulan City to open its gates, then ordered it to fly high over the Sky Bow Battalion’s ballistae and land behind them.

Ulan City's defenders repelled the Lizardman assault with coordinated fire from their ballistae, cannons, and archers. Marshal Ululu remained trapped in the sky, unable to reach the Sky Bow Battalion as Medivh watched.

• Marshal Ululu ordered the Flying Lizard Cavalry Regiment to attack Ulan City, but the city's anti-air weapons shot down riders and mounts.
• The Lizardman ground forces charged the walls and suffered heavy casualties from the defenders' crossbows, archers, and trebuchets.

• The Fifth-Rank Snow Wolf Knight and Snow Fox Mage froze the wounded Lizardman generals after they escaped the cannon's flames, killing them.
• Marshal Ululu repeatedly unleashed Wyvern Crash against the Sky Bow Battalion, but anti-air fire knocked him back and drained his power.

Ulan City’s defenses destroyed Marshal Ululu’s army, and Ululu died recalling how he had killed the Holland king at Broken Bridge. After Medivh ordered stronger mobile anti-air weapons researched, the Lizardman Royal Court debated another campaign and was advised to focus on its other enemies.

• The Lizardman Kingdom’s powerful figures refused to rescue Ululu, citing the Light Covenant and the danger of leaving their kingdom exposed, while the Holland Kingdom’s fighters traded insults with them.
• Ululu’s power failed under another blast from the Raging Flame Origin Crystal Magic Rune Cannon, and he died remembering his victory at the snowy Broken Bridge.
• The Holland Kingdom’s fighters asked the Loran City-State’s fighters whether Ulan City could withstand an assault by powerful opponents, and they warned that Viscount Wrynn could destroy the city.
• Medivh judged the Sky Bow Ballista too weak to stop Fifth Rank Transcendents and tasked the Skeleton Mage Corps with developing a stronger mobile Anti-Air Ballista.
• The Lizardman king asked for a general to lead another campaign against Ulan Gobi, but a Pillar of the State urged him to focus on the Holland Kingdom and the human army from another plane.

After the Lizardman Kingdom abandoned its costly siege of Ulan City, Medivh arranged a marriage alliance with the Holland Kingdom by marrying Princess Tier and supplying provisions and military support. Tier settled into her new life in Kurd City as Ulan City's archaeologists excavated ancient battlefield sites in Holland, uncovering valuable bones and lost history.

• The Lizardman King abandoned the attack on Ulan City and mobilized his people to fight the Holland Kingdom and the Loran City-State.
• The Holland Kingdom sent a delegation and Princess Tier to negotiate for wartime provisions, offering access to ancient battlefield sites in return.
• Medivh accepted the deal, married Tier in Kurd City, and sent three Sky Bow Battalions to support Holland in her name.
• Tier enjoyed her new life while the Sky Bow Battalions won victories and the Holland King honored her with a statue.
• Ulan City's Archaeology Team excavated Holland's ancient battlefield sites, finding bones of nonhuman peoples and learning how the Snow Werewolf and Snow Fox-person peoples had been displaced.

Ten years after beginning his career as a pioneer, Medivh had built a powerful family and continued cultivating through archaeological discoveries. Hilda became pregnant, the Hobarton Family approved her early retirement and marriage to Medivh, and she joined Audrey and Emily for a grand wedding in Kurd City.

• The Skeleton Legion excavated historical corpses across the Gamma Plane while Medivh reflected on his progress and his family's growing strength over the past decade.
• Hilda told Medivh she was pregnant again, and he asked the Hobarton Family Council to let her step down early and marry him.
• Draven, Udir, and the Hobarton Family Council approved the arrangement, and the family received two hundred Anti-Air Ballistae and ten Fierce Lion Magic Rune Armaments as Hilda's dowry.
• Medivh held a grand wedding in Kurd City for Audrey, Hilda, and Emily.
• The Newint Family regretted how it had treated Audrey, while the High Tower Maids admired Emily and hoped to become brides of the Lord someday.

Heavy flooding devastated the Odyssey Region while Medivh’s territory remained protected. When a hungry young Blue Dragon attacked Kurd City, Medivh’s forces trapped and battered it, and the dragon tried to negotiate for its life.

• The early rainy season flooded villages and isolated Military Castles, while Wrynn Territory remained safe behind its walls and reservoirs.
• In mid-July, sentry Skeletons spotted a Blue Dragon heading toward Kurd City, and Medivh ordered a Level One air defense alert.
• Medivh let the Blue Dragon enter Kurd City’s Eastern District, where it attacked a herd of Big-Horned Oxen.
• Kurd City’s defenses struck the Blue Dragon, which broke free by transforming into a ball of lightning and protested the attack.
• Medivh summoned an Eight-Armed Skeleton Golem and sent Lava Dragon Oriana to help capture the Blue Dragon.
• The Blue Dragon refused to pledge allegiance but offered to cooperate with Medivh to avoid being killed.

Medivh forced the Blue Dragon Sindasa to sign a city-state contract and become Kurd City's Dragon Aspect. After settling in, Sindasa befriended Medivh over food and proposed connecting his Dragon Nest to the city, while Lux and Freya observed from the Grand Cathedral of Light.

• Medivh rejected Sindasa's offer of a few tasks, but agreed to Oriana's proposal that Sindasa sign a city-state contract rather than risk Kurd City's residents in a battle.
• Sindasa reluctantly signed the contract and became Kurd City's Dragon Aspect.
• Sindasa complained that Medivh served him fruit instead of Big-Horned Oxen, then devoured a Thunder Spirit Fruit and admitted that he liked it.
• Medivh served Sindasa roasted lamb, and Sindasa declared that he would eat lamb instead of beef.
• After spending several days in Kurd City, Sindasa suggested that Medivh dig a tunnel to his Dragon Nest, and Medivh agreed.
• Lux watched Medivh and Sindasa chatting while Freya wrote a biography titled "Brother of the Blue Dragon."

Medivh visited Blue Dragon Sindasa’s nest after a mountain passage connected it to the Odyssey region, where Sindasa explained the Dragon race’s bloodline hierarchy and introduced his Dragon Heir, Synthia. Sindasa gave Medivh a Dragon Transformation Art inheritance scroll, leaving Medivh to wonder what his brother had in mind as Oriana felt an uneasy chill in the kitchen.

• After the rainy season, Light Priests treated flood-related diseases across the Odyssey Region, including among Orcs and Bear-men.
• Medivh and his family visited Sindasa’s Blue Dragon Nest and enjoyed a seafood feast prepared by Skeleton Chefs.
• Sindasa explained the classifications of Dragonblood Creatures and introduced his daughter Synthia and a Dragon Egg guarded in the hatchery.
• Sindasa warned Medivh not to get ideas about the egg, whose parents included a Blue Wave Dragon resting in the East Sea.
• Sindasa gave Medivh an inheritance scroll containing the Dragon Transformation Art, then transformed and left to enjoy himself.
• Oriana sneezed in the kitchen and sensed that something was watching her.
