= The Great Equilibrium = The Great Equilibrium is an apocalyptic fate of the universe. Fitting for the sole entity who shall soon bring it, only Kaldr has knowledge of this event.

It is a testimony to the fact that the cosmos is not eternal. As the universe ages, the equilibrium's ghost, Kaldr, will grow brighter and stronger, as well as grow younger in proportion to the cosmos' aging. This apocryphal event is fully realized when all matter stops in Kaldr's grip, who has now achieved his true eternal form and is no longer a ghost of what he was, is, and will be, but rather a terrifying reality at the end of eternity.

Trivia

 * Heavily inspired by the heat death of the universe, a hypothetical fate of the universe where it will achieve thermodynamic equilibrium. This is when the universe cools down to the point that all equilibria are achieved, such as thermal, mechanical, chemical, etc. They are called equilibria because no change occurs in them at all, like the flow of matter or energy. It can be seen as the inverse of the Big Bang, where the universe was once very hot in its genesis.

Description
Found only in the depths of all nature and accessible only with the haunted Chronoptic Crystals, this plane of existence is known only to the lone mind of a dark entity. In this hidden plane, nature has become a lurid and vile place. Lurid in this context may have two meanings: it is lurid because it is said to be horrifying and hideous to those who see it, or it may be lurid because it is too brightly and vividly colored, which could possibly be reflected in Leshrac's bright and dissonant color scheme.

There is Chronoptic energy in this plane, which will flow from this plane to Leshrac's current plane (at his vile will) to evaporate anything it touches. Based on the sole elemental who embodies this place's aspects, unnatural fungi grows in this place, sustained by its tainted waters. Wicked vines thrive here as well, which feeds off of black thoughts and foul deeds rather than light, air, and water.

According to Leshrac, every being's physical form springs from this place, which may explain why it is called the heart of nature. Here, nature has become a blasted place because it is composed of the Impurities.

The Impurities
The Impurities are the impure powers and elements of the heart of nature. Despite being impure, they can be distilled to their essence for some reason. These Impurities include: All of these elements compose the vile and blasted nature that exists within its own depths. The Impurities are in a constant state of torment and they are described as "witless" for unknown reasons. Although the Impurities and the place they are from are a forbidden knowledge themselves, they hide an even worse layer of mysteries beneath them, which he (Leshrac) seeks to learn through "an end to it all" which might be his death or the destruction of the world.
 * Evil winds
 * Tainted water
 * Sinister energies
 * Brittle earth
 * Pink-purple electricity

Notable Inhabitants
No one lives in this foul place but, who describes this world as a cloister and a place of solitude. Leshrac is the guardian of the Impurities that compose this place and he is its sole agent. As an elemental who is at one with this vile nature, he is composed of the Impurities that constitute this place. Those who are killed, impurified, and broken down to their fundamental elements by his hand and will  are sent back to this place to merge with the Impurities.

Biography
Sven is the bastard son of a Vigil Knight, born from the flesh of a Pallid Meranth, raised in the Shadeshore Ruins. With his father executed for violating the Vigil Codex, and his mother ostracized by the Mer, Sven firmly believes that honor is not to be found in any society, but only in himself. After tending his mother through a lingering death, Sven swore vengeance against the Vigil Knights, recruiting himself into their ranks as a novice while never revealing his identity.

For thirteen years he studied in his father's school, mastering the rigid code that declared his existence an abomination. Then, on the day that should have been his In-Swearing, he seized the Outcast Blade, shattered the Sacred Helm, and burned the Codex in the Vigil's Holy Flame. He strode from Vigil Keep, forever solitary, following his private code to the last strict rune. Still a knight, yes...but a Rogue Knight. He answers only to himself.

Artifact
In this strange timeline, the story of Sven has now reached the point where he has infiltrated the ranks of the Vigil Knights, but their destruction from within is a future that cannot be avoided, at least to the will of the soon-to-be Rogue Knight. To assure that this possibility comes to fruition, Sven must train among his enemies, rise above their ranks, and ultimately: destroy them from within to avenge his family.

Although he hasn't enacted his rogue code yet, he manifests a bit of the code in his actions by aligning against any kind of army like any true rogue to society would. He has declared war against the Radiant and the Dire, Venomancer and his expanding garden of s, the Bronze Legion, the reformed Red Mist Horde, and even the Vhoul rebellion.

Enemies

Physiology
Sven is a hybrid between a drylander (presumably a Human) and a Pallid Meranth. Any Mer who inherits dryland blood and aspects will be weakened or enfeebled by it, causing them to be mortal and have shortened lifespans in comparison to the pure Mer, who are implied to have eternal lifespans. Rumor has it that he still retains the innate Meranth ability to breathe underwater, which he may have used to retrieve a sword of the Vigil Knights that he found in a sunken galley.

Equipment
Sven's equipment mostly consists of the Vigil Knight's arsenal, possibly stolen from them as retribution or mockery. The most notable apparatus taken from the Knights is the Outcast Blade, which he stole on the day that should've been his In-Swearing. The Vigil Knights still seek to retrieve the Outcast Blade from Sven, who has now claimed it for himself. He also stole an iron gauntlet from his father's school and wears it now on his left hand.

There is also the shield-crest of the Vigil Knights, also worn on his left hand. The shield has extendable "wings" that likely increases its protective area. It is said to be so durable that it still appears to be in pristine condition even after being used in battles in a dozen wars.

Fitting for a brute of his size and from his training with the Vigil Knights, he prefers large two-handed blades with heavy tips and unorthodox shapes with some of them being really dangerous for the wielder and the target. Sven has collected a variety of swords in his lifetime (besides the ones that are stolen from the Vigil Knights) although it's possible that he only acquires them in a separate timeline. Only a few of them are notable enough to be listed below: None of these blades are as prized as the relic that he found in the debris of a sunken galley that once sailed under the Vigil Knights banner. The sword was worthy enough for Sven to replace the Outcast Blade with it.
 * A greatsword whose blade is made of Radiant Ore. While extremely sharp, not many blades made from this ore can survive their first use.
 * An obsidian sword said to contain the fragmented souls of tormented gods.
 * A two pronged sword that doubles as a tuning fork. When struck against another blade, it will produce a different sound that depends on the blade that it has struck. Skilled users like Sven can tell what kind of blade they are facing with this.
 * An unorthodox blade whose edges converge into a ring rather than a tip. The ring symbolizes unending courage.

As for his armors, most of them are taken from the Vigil Knights, including the uniforms of the Chiseled Guard, the Mono Militis sect, and the Flameguard sect. The serrated shafts that are crafted along the protrusions of Sven's helmet are said to improve the wearer's hearing.

Much like the sets of armor that the Vigil Knights once wore, even his armor can be used as a weapon. He once impaled an attacking ogre in the Feral Road using the spikes resting on his shoulder guard, and a specific left-handed gauntlet in his possession was carefully designed to intercept an enemy swordsman's attack on his shoulder or to catch a blade mid-swing.

Powers
Sven's abilities are a mixture of his knightly skills and godly power. All of these abilities synergize with each other to destroy multiple opponents at once, fitting for his theme as a one man army in a planet full of foes.

Sven unleashes his father's magical gauntlet, launching the on his foes. He prefers using his gauntlet on enemies that attempt to escape him. A prophecy from a strange Oracle called Nerif states that his gauntlet is the hammer of the gods, implying that Sven has some form of connection with divinity.

The Outcast Blade's can cut through multiple opponents at once with a combination of its massive length and the shockwaves that it emits when swung.

In battle, Sven may hearten his allies with a by reciting a few poetic lines from the burned Vigil Codex, fortifying his obedience to his rogue code. Lorewise, it's unknown if it provides any other buffs outside of gameplay mechanics. He also doesn't seem to recite any lines when using this ability, but he roars loudly instead.

is the same strength that Sven used to shatter the Sacred Helm on the day of his In-Swearing. Card art for this ability in Artifact shows that Sven and his sword will grow in mass and size when this ability is activated, while also turning his padded armor red. This, alongside his Storm Hammer (which is said to be the hammer of the gods) is one of his connections to divinity, at least according to its name.

Biography
Although his origins are as dubious as children's tales, there is only one origin story that belongs to Wukong. The oldest tales say that he hatched from a large magical boulder that bore silent witness to all of creation. But only children and fools put stock in such things.

Rumble In The Deep
During a time when Wukong had no worthy weapon in his hands yet, he was searching for one that was worthy of his talents. Finding none on land, he turned to the underwater realm where The King of the Eastern Sea (or Seas ), hoarder of the surface world's treasures, dwelled in the depths where no sunlight could reach. Hearing of the Monkey King's desire, he mused about a weapon called the Jingu Bang, which he said was a weapon worthy of a warrior like him. Unfortunately, he also said that it was lost to the depths of the ocean, and so he directed him to the base of Dark Reef Prison where it can be found.

Seemingly unaffected by the crushing pressure of the depths, Wukong swam through the murky waters towards Dark Reef and found the staff embedded on the ocean floor. He then gripped the staff with all of his might until it was freed, but he realized he had been tricked. By freeing the staff, it suddenly extended its length and breached the walls of Dark Reef prison. He quickly shrunk the staff to a more manageable size, but it was too late. The notorious and dangerous prisoners of Dark Reef have begun their exodus. Determined to correct his mistakes, he singlehandedly stopped three dozen criminals from escaping.

Of course, this story contradicts with the Nightcrawler's accounts on how he alone escaped Dark Reef, and it even contradicts with another report where multiple criminals broke out of the same prison, lead by none other than Slark. Still, who cares about authenticity when this legend puts most heroes' feats to shame?

Immortal Path
This legend is much more dubious than the previous one. Some say that the legend started when Razor trapped the Monkey King in the Narrow Maze many years ago, but some say that it started when Wukong traversed the path to the underworld by his own accord for the sake of making himself an immortal warrior. Either way, this is the one and only story of how Wukong achieved true immortality.

In the Narrow Maze, Razor chased after Wukong's soul until the latter reached an open space with a luminous exit at the other side of the room. Finally having a bit of breathing room, he quickly hid behind a rock and shapeshifted into a tree before Razor could catch up to him. When his tormentor reached the room, he could not find Wukong and searched around until he was attacked from behind. A brutal battle ensued and eventually Wukong defeated the Lightning Revenant. He was now free to remove his name from the Book of Life and Death alongside the names of his clone army, making them both immortal.

Somewhere in between this legend and the next (assuming that his lore follows its real-life mythical counterpart) Sun Wukong waged a war against the heavens until nothing but his legend survived.

Burning Crucible
Wukong's audacious crime of removing himself from the great wheel of the cycle of nature did not go unheard of. The four forces of nature conspired to punish Wukong so that they may restore order back to nature and prevent further chaos from disrupting it. Wukong's legendary skills as a warrior were no match for the combined forces that governed aspects of creation itself, and so he was locked away to have his heavenly powers purged by the purifying flames of Xin's Eternal Crucible.

Outraged at this injustice, Wukong struggled to survive within the flames of the Eternal Furnace. But even with his deathless existence, he soon learned that even he had limits. So he resolved to be stronger. For forty-nine days, the Monkey King meditated in the furnace as the flames lapped upon him. Unable to be consumed by the fire, the furnace that was meant to be his punishment became a crucible where a powerful being was reborn.

The King versus The Quorum
There is a legend that describes one particular at some point in Wukong's immortal life where he fought the The Quorum, a senate of thirty-one powerful wizards who govern over all of Weeping Rose. No other details exist about this legend yet, since it was only mentioned in passing by Ilexa, a young Radiant creep who claims to be Wukong's biggest fan.

A New Journey
Long after his war against the heavens, and with his greatest feats all behind him, Wukong found himself working as a cage fighter for Grek in White Spire. This job only came to him as a pleasant distraction from his journey to the war of the Nemesis Stones after he saw a flyer on the way to the battle. But scripted cage fighting seemed like a fun thing to take up.

Already accustomed to his new job, Wukong maintained a staged feud with his rival Breklin, the Living Anathema, for many months. Following a pretty exciting performance that wrecked the cage and Breklin with it, Grek approached Wukong after the match and informed him about the arena's dwindling budget. Grek claimed that he could not afford Wukong's theatrics since most of their funds have been spent on repairing the stage after every performance. In response to their situation, Wukong suggested a less destructive performance where he and Breklin would perform stand-up comedy. But Grek refuses, saying that comedy doesn't sell, but he ominously assures him that he has something else in store for tomorrow's show and that they're going to love it.

Wukong retreats to the Sundered Moon bar where he and Breklin are signing autographs. He informs the latter on their boss' idea for a new kind of performance and his assumptions that they're going to approve of it tomorrow. Breklin predicts that it's going to be terrible and Wukong agrees with him before calling the next person in line. Black Arachnia's scurries through the intimidated crowd as she makes her way towards their table and pins her flyer on it with her spider leg.

The two ex-lovers greet each other—Arachnia expresses her anticipation while Wukong coldly greets her back. Arachnia proceeds to reveal that she

Biography
Ostarion awoke from his trance to see the sun shining on his face. With the millennial solstice of Wraith-Night now at an end, and him being the only survivor of a massacre that he enacted but was completely oblivious to for its entire duration, he found himself in a luminous body made of wraith flesh and no longer at the mercy of decay that all material things are subject to. Declaring himself the Wraith King, he refashioned his bone kingdom into a land made of wraith essence. His mortal subjects shared the same fate too, turning everything in his current domain into an incorporeal land until everything he ruled over was as immortal as he is.

Campaigns
There was once a small kingdom renowned for its textile specialists that Ostarion tried to conquer. The surviving subjects fashioned a cape for the fleshless king in the hopes that he would spare them. Which he did, but just this once.

The Duke of Levinthal, Elector of the Gleaming City, once held out against the hordes of Ostarion's undead warriors for many days. Seeking to finally end the siege, he did a sortie and fought Ostarion in personal combat. He lost the battle and his domain fell to the king, with his broken greatsword now in Ostarion's hands.

Ostarion's eastern expansion caught the ill attention of an undead dragon named Ambinderath. The beast was probably killed by Ostarion, and its jaw was detached to make a sword out of it. Whatever happened to its other remains is unknown.

Ostarion's lust for powers and immortality eventually led him to add even the Seven Hells to his eternal kingdom. To this end, he sought to acquire the riven shards of the prison plane Foulfell, left behind in the wake of the Demon Marauder's exodus, which is rumored to have the ability to imprison the souls of demons. He has yet to conquer this realm, though.

Personality and Mannerisms

 * Ostarion is a cruel king.
 * Ostarion is, despite his lack of a material body and thus his inability to feel pain, into BDSM.

Relationships
Given the massive time gap between the reign of the Skeleton King and the Wraith King, not to mention that Ostarion's memories have been mostly consumed by the wraith flame it's unknown if his previous incarnation's relations still carry over to his current form. Nevertheless, one can read it in the link above.

Immortality
Having forsaken his material body for a body shaped from wraith flesh, Ostarion now has an incorporeal form. His embodiment is made of a pure spiritual essence that is beyond any material decay. The countless quantities of wraith energy that he has consumed should give him large amounts of strength, since the wraith energy that was stolen from the Wraith-Night hordes empowered the throng as well.

As a spiritual being, Wraith King has access to the spiritual planes of existence, such as the afterlife. He resurrects himself by returning from the veil of death and back into the world without staying in the Underscape or Narrow Maze that comes after the veil.

Equipment
Ostarion's subjects, both willing and unwilling, have forged various weapons and armour for their unliving King. Although he has long forsaken his form of bones, he still finds himself appreciating things made out of bone, only appreciating non-bony items on rare occasions.

In Ostarion's storeroom, he owns a variety of large swords that fit his large stature. Most of these swords are made of bone and other materials, but mostly bone. Besides his default sword, which appears to have a spinal cord along the flat side of the metal blade, this includes the following: Besides his other bony swords, Ostarion owns a variety of non-bony swords, ranging from worldly swords made of mundane material to eerie swords that can influence various matters spiritual. (Usually in a bad way.) Ostarion's royal wardrobe has a vast miscellany of armor and regalia. It's interesting to note that most of his articles of clothing or armor, if not all of them, were given to him as tribute. Either the senders voluntarily gave their tribute to him or if Ostarion himself forcibly took it from them, usually after their deaths. After all, even unwilling and unwitting sacrifice is due tribute in the eyes of the Wraith King.
 * A bony, wicked looking sword fashioned by Ostarion's biggest fans in the smithing trade.
 * A sword made from the late Dreadknight's own sword and fused with his spine. A scary reminder of what awaits those who challenges Ostarion. A similar sword made out of the spine and blade of an unknown victim exists in Ostarion's possession.
 * A white sword made by Ostarion's subjects. Its hilt and grip was crafted from the bones of fallen kings, while its blade was forged from the armor in which they died wearing.
 * A sword made from the severed jaw of the undead dragon Ambinderath.
 * The Boneslayer, a sword that was presented by an unfortunate kingdom that Ostarion was about to conquer. They staked their hopes on this gift which they thought should open opportunities for negotiating a peaceful surrender. It didn't work.
 * An unorthodox shaped blade made from the bone shards of many a broken enemy.
 * A makeshift sword fashioned from a femur and a blade that are fastened together.
 * A sword that appears to be made of crystallized blood.
 * The broken greatsword of the Duke of Levinthal.
 * The Relic Sword, a sword with a blade that has been broken off. Although it is physically broken, it still has an ethereal edge. Only bloodshed can satisfy its phantom blade.
 * The Winterblight, a sword carved from stone and glacial ice. Its cold edge can freeze the very souls of its victims.

Among the clothing that he has taken from others alongside their lives, he has taken the remains of the Dreadknight and his Magnoceros accomplice. For their bold act of conquest on Ostarion's realm, he killed the two invaders and fused their remains on his obsidian pauldrons and gauntlets that are lined with gold, adorning the latter piece of armor with the Dreadknight's skull. He also took the Dreadknight's cloak which is lined with inscribed sigils that were said to render its wearer invincible—which Ostarion proved otherwise. To complete the outfit, he wears a crown made from the bony remains of the Dreadknight—a dreadful reminder of Ostarion's reign and the fate of those who dares to challenge it.

Powers
Calling upon his damned lineage, Ostarion draws upon it to shoot s from his fist, reducing those unfortunate enough to be caught in his wake to ashes. The same wraith flame has consumed his memories about his previous regime back when he was the bony king. Ostarion's is sustained by the spiritual essence of his enemies, his blade draining it away from them to feed his aura. This "aura" might refer to the luminous Wraith Essence that gives the shape of revenants and untethered spirits on the material plane. Its active component is a good demonstration of Ostarion's skill with necromancy, allowing him to summon his skeletal/ghostly subjects to his side. His dark magic ensures that their loyalty to him will be eternal, even after they have died.
 * In his transition from the Skeleton King to the Wraith King, his "hellish lineage" and hellfire has been replaced with his "damned lineage" and spectral flames. This damned lineage is his new power source for abilities that use wraith fire.
 * However, he would soon regain the ability to manipulate hellfire after one particular reincarnation. When he returned to the path that led into the afterlife's veil, he was assaulted by a swirling flame that struggled to drive him back into the endless abyss. He grasped the flame with his mailed hand, thrashing and tearing at it until he returned to the material plane.
 * This flame may be his "hellish lineage" that he discarded upon becoming a wraith and his lineage is probably seeking vengeance for abandoning them.

doesn't have any lore.

His is best explained in his Immortality section.

Frostivus Powers
During the Wraith-Night before Frostivus, Ostarion displayed a much more powerful application of his ghost powers. It's unknown if they're still canon or not.

is an ability that summons the spirits of the dead to destroy anyone in a large area surrounding him. The effect is not immediate since Ostarion must plunge his sword into the ground first to start casting, then channel the ability until the ground erupts. Unlike the next two abilities, this one has some degree of lore from its description. is an aptly named ability where he summons wraiths to buff his attack damage, movement speed, and attack speed. This ability has no lore.
 * It shares the same "Wraithfire" moniker as his, implying that it also uses wraithflame which is drawn from the same power source that is his damned lineage. This shared power source is evident in the ability's use of dead spirits to work its power.

Yet another aptly named ability, Ostarion's can summon wraiths who will regroup with their summoner to heal him at the cost of their life. This ability has no lore.

Ranks
The Bronze Legion is a diverse motley of soldiers from different backgrounds united under the common goal of fighting for Stonehall. Besides the obvious presence of humans within the Legion, there is also the Vhoul, the Ogres, the Satyrs, the Odobenus, and even Radiant creeps among their vast ranks.

It is said that their hallmark trait is discipline, and their soldiers are always training when outside of combat.

Equipment
In the armories of the Bronze Legion's infantry, the light legionnaires have access to various one-handed swords, pikes, spears, bows and arrows, boetian/aspis shields, razor nets, clubs that bear the Bullsnake symbol as its head, battleaxes, etc. Heavier troops such as the ogres are given massive clubs, warhammers, and the same shields. Their equipment may be forged by Stonehall's blacksmiths or from mercenary Smeevils, who forge weapons and armor for whatever side requests their service.

During the siege on Roseleaf, the Bronze Legion defended the walls from the ladders of Oglodi siegemasters and other Oglodi who may scale the walls by pouring burning oil on those who attempted escalades. Alongside several other poorly constructed battlements in Roseleaf, the Bronze Legion utilized lodestones, but were sabotaged by Lorlin Lasan of the Jasper Circle (on behalf of the Red Mist) who managed to turn their defenses against them. The result was the lodestone's magnetism pulling nearby armored soldiers towards it, destroying the poorly built defenses and restraining the poor troops caught in it. They also have access to what appears to be a primitive tank or siege engine.

Transgression in Tares
The neighboring kingdom of Tares spent centuries maintaining their deference to their Stonehall colonizers. Many centuries of servitude have passed and the Taresian nobles finally found it necessary to strike back against them, secretly negotiating to amass an army of poor soldiers and cheap mercenaries who have all been motivated with the whispered promises of golden plunder and a life free of the Stonehall tyrant's legions.

Word of their rebellion has somehow reached the intelligence of Stonehall, prompting Emperor Galanius to dispatch the Bronze Legion. The incumbent Legion Commander Tresdin and her subordinates Marcus and Rix were sent to destroy the meager opposition and bring the conspirators to justice.

Fled to Filedo
Tresdin, Marcus, Rix, and the rest of the selected Bronze Legion chase after the remaining Taresian nobles who have fled for Filedo using the battle waged in their lands as a distraction.

Battle of Roseleaf
Led by Tresdin, the Bronze Legion attempted to hold off the Red Mist army at Roseleaf. Details are scarce, save for hints that Tresdin made poor decisions and may have initiated the fight, resulting in disaster for the Bronze Legion. After the battle, the Bullsnake Flag was found at the site by Mireska, which may be legion's emblem.

Destruction
When Stonehall came under attack by the and his Abyssal Horde, the Bronze Legion was the only division near enough to come to the city's aid. Although Tresdin was able to drive back the demonic invaders, the Bronze Legion was largely destroyed in the battle.

Stonehall Elite
The Stonehall Elite is a subdivision of the Bronze Legion. It was created by Belasanno after Rix betrayed the Bronze Legion.

Invasion
Stonehall was attacked by the Abyssal Horde, led by Vrogos, the Underlord. While Tresdin and the Bronze Legion were able to repel the attack, the city was largely destroyed in the process.
