= Underlord = An ethereal rift appears within an oblivious nation's walls, giving way to Vrogros the Underlord and the legions of the Abyssal Horde. With a commanding presence as wide as his girth, the Lord of the Abyss finally sets foot from the subterranean Aziyog into the surface world with the vile intent of destroying or conquering it all, having exhausted the lands offered by the underground world. His monstrous figure and power may stand out to all, but none can foresee his sudden and unpredictable arrival as he paves an unhindered path for himself and his armies to set foot into the sunlit world that shall soon be claimed for dark purpose.

Biography
Vrogros hails from the subterranean city of Aziyog, which is situated underneath the magma chambers of dormant volcanoes that give this city its obsidian structure. This powerful beast has already conquered all the lands that the underground world can offer, but this lord was never satisfied with mere regional conquest. With his mastery over the arts of the Dark Rift, Vrogros bends even space to his will to transport himself and his armies without the delays of distance and time, bringing them to the world on the surface where its nations and their inhabitants are ripe for the taking.

The first few forces of the Abyssal Horde have already walked through his rift—mere scouting parties and fodder meant to test the might of the nations above. With the knowledge imparted from their encounters, Vrogros himself finally walks through the ethereal rift to lead the charge of the Abyssal Horde as he makes his presence known to the surface world with the intent to conquer the lands before and beyond the horizon, while making the most out of the survivors of his unholy holocaust by making them his slaves or burning them in the hearth of Aziyog.

Artifact
In this strange timeline, Vrogros has yet to enter and conquer the surface world. He is currently planning his assault on Stonehall, but it also appears that he has formed an unholy alliance with the demon lords of the Court of Ristul.

Allies
After agreeing with the other lords to split power into three ways, Vrogros rules over the Court of Ristul alongside and B'Kor. It may not be said that they enjoy working together, but they are allied regardless and must keep their allegiance to maintain power over the court.

Enemies
With hostile intentions on the nation of Stonehall, it is only natural for the vengeful to be ill-disposed towards him. Vrogros' status as one of the usurpers of the Court of Ristul's positions of power makes him a target to who seeks to reclaim her seat in the demonic court.

Equipment
The soul cutting was once in Vrogros' possession before he somehow lost it due to unknown means. He replaced it with the default runic blade that we can see on his person, but he expresses his joy upon retrieving it.

Vrogros claimed the Emerald Conquest as a prize of war after a battle for the middle reaches of the Emerald Abyss. The glow of this blade is said to be so bright that one can see it from afar in the farthest borders of his obsidian dominion.

Powers
Vrogros' brute strength belies his mastery in the arts of the Dark Rift. Judging by its name and its demonstrated uses, the arts of Dark Rift seem to focus on manipulating the fabric of reality and its aspects, such as space.

Reaching into the Abyss, Vrogros calls down a to burn down everything in his wake. The Dark Rift arts might be used to summon this flame from below to bring it to the surface via teleportation.

compliments his powerful area controlling abilities. Vrogros' hatred is so powerful, it can manifest outside the mind and have an effect on his surroundings by twisting the very seams of reality to paralyze his enemies. In his lore, the "seams of reality" are also referred to as the "twist between worlds". These so-called seams or twists could possibly be the same as the seams of the cosmic tapestry that the Weavers maintain with care.

Enemies in his presence can feel his draining the conviction of battle from their souls, causing them to falter in battle.

The pinnacle of his dark arts, grants him pseudo-omnipresence with the ability to teleport himself and his vast army with him by conjuring an ethereal portal that leads to his target destination. With, Vrogros gains access to a new ability:. Lorewise, it appears to be similar to its progenitor ability with its use of dual rifts to access two points in space and move freely between them. The description for this ability implies that Dark Rift has a limitation to its range and Fiend's Gate mitigates its limits. However, its exact limitation is not stated anywhere in the lore.
 * A friendly interaction with Dawnbreaker implies that Vrogros may require coordinates of the location before he teleports towards it.

Biography
Nature's Prophet is entrusted with the burden of keeping the woods safe. With his foresight, he can always know where he is needed and respond to the wild places and their inhabitants.

Birth
The being we know as Nature's Prophet came to be from the remains of his progenitor deity Verodicia, the Goddess of the Woods. Long ago, Verodicia toiled to prepare a nurturing environment for her living things to grow in. She planted the burgeoning spirit in the seed, lured the groundwaters deep within the aquifers, and made the sun swear its full attention to her children. But she soon realized that she will soon die without seeing her children grow. On one of the leaves inside the seed that she had planted, she saw the unswayable fate of her fall imprinted within it. Although it pained her that she would leave her seeds vulnerable, she was determined to do something about it even if she couldn't defy her destined demise.

Verodicia found one last seed in her seed pouch and spoke a single word into the seed, swallowing it as she fell. Her vast body decomposed throughout the winter season, becoming the humus that would feed her seedlings in the spring. On the morning of the vernal equinox that marked the beginning of the spring season, the last seed ripened and burst in an instant before the other seedlings could even grow. From the last seed sprouted Nature's Prophet, who inherited Verodicia's power to foresee the forest's future in the leaves of destiny, staying vigil over the green places where danger or great need may beckon the aid of the goddess' sole descendant.

Battles
The riverlands hero Castor Twin-Tusks once challenged the Nature's Prophet to an arcane duel. The prophet won the duel and now wears Castor's upper jaw on his shoulder.

The Oakfall Horn was used to summon the Nature's Prophet to Virga Truebark's side, who defied the Iron Princeling. Together, they fought their enemy side by side.

Personality and Mannerisms

 * The Prophet's disposition is like that of nature. In equal parts, nature is both caring and unforgiving. At times, the Prophet may be peaceful and gentle,  but those who fail to see the other side of nature will learn that he is no stranger to violence. Embodying the violent half of nature, he is ferocious, savage, and punishing if he needs to be.

Family
Born from the final breath of his goddess Verodicia, the Prophet is said to be her favored son. The Prophet honors his goddess and tends to all of her creations.

Allies
is related to the Prophet, who seems to share an unnamed goddess with his lore. Kaolin's goddess may possibly be Verodicia with the following speculations.
 * When meeting the Prophet, Kaolin will claim that they are both of like spirits. Kaolin will also say that the Prophet must revere him, which hints that Kaolin has authority over the Prophet.
 * Just like the Prophet, Kaolin is dedicated to a goddess who is said to tend to all life.

Enemies
Nature's Prophet bears a great hatred and rivalry towards the Society of Likeminded Keenfolk, especially and. He believes that they are a scourge on nature with their inventions that pollute and quell the forest and its inhabitants.

He rejects the presence of and his plague wards in the forest.

Physiology
Born from a special seed that was blessed by Verodicia's last breath, Nature's Prophet is made out of plant matter.

He possesses the ability to shapeshift his physical form, taking on the aspects of a tree, a predator, or prey.

Foresight
He got his name from the foresight that he inherited from his goddess Verodicia, whose seeds contained a coiled-up spiritual plant with leaves that are imprinted with the fate and destiny of those who read it. These are the same leaves that portended Verodicia's demise. Nature's Prophet can read the future through these leaves within the seed that birthed him, and the many branches of this plant may signify the many futures that he can see.

Equipment
Nature's Prophet possesses a copy of the Orchid Malevolence and the Scythe of Vyse.

Before the Prophet's seed was made to sprout, Verodicia imbued a sapphire gem with a spark of her essence. This gem was a fail-safe left in the wastes of a war-torn land to restore life and restart its cycle in places that lack it.

The Prophet wears a set of natural garments made of fungi and moss infused with the essence of the Father Mushroom.

Powers
All of the Prophet's powers come from the blessing of his goddess Verodicia. With his power, he can bend nature to his will even if they are harmful or aligned against nature, such as the parasitic Cordyceps and corrupting Sufferwood. Rather than using mana or blood magic, the Prophet relies on the wrathsome will of his goddess to use his powers, tapping directly into it to work his arts.

allows the Prophet to grow a ring of trees to fence in his opponents. In its lore, reports of the Nature's Prophet's fury state that he frequently uses this against his attackers.

does not have much lore to it, so it can simply be assumed that it is nothing but a teleportation ability.

is but one of the many abilities bestowed upon him by the woods-goddess. With this boon, he has the ability to summon the Treant Guard, a mythical sentient army in service to the greenery of Verodicia. In gameplay and lore, he can summon them using the trees as a catalyst, but it' unknown if he can also summon them without using preexisting plant life. Calling upon Verodicia's fury, Nature's Prophet summons the to strike down all who wish to threaten and destroy the green places with its powerful, far-reaching energies.
 * It is said that not only can he summon them, but he even bends them to his will to place them under his complete control.
 * The Prophet can construct a fungal familiar named Shroom Thing, made from fungus and moss and infused with the Father Mushroom's essence.
 * He can also summon the Shroomlings to his side. A sentient, walking fungi who hail from the Drowned Forest, they are fearless and are fond of dark and damp places.

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 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 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.

Although he has not 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.

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 very dangerous to 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 armor, 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 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.

Biography
Leshrac was once a great yet mundane philosopher who searched for the meaning of existence. To this end, he delved the depths of nature with the haunted Chronoptic Crystals, and through them he found the horrifying truth of nature located at its very heart—changing him forever on every level of his being; physical, spiritual, and mental. The awful glow that is emanating from his twisted body reflects the lurid and vile nature he is at one with, a tormented spirit dwelling within this abomination of a physical form. Only the bright glare of his arrogance can illuminate the darkness of his thoughts, and even then it flickers in fits and starts.

Now an elemental entity enlightened by his newfound nihilism, Leshrac strives to reveal the evil truth of nature to all and usher creation to the tormented nature that he has seen.

Personality and Mannerisms

 * Leshrac is a nihilist. His specific brand of nihilism is ambiguous, but he has some form of moral nihilism which is evident in his disbelief of requited goodness from the cosmos. He is also aware of the torment that everything undergoes, reinforcing his nihilist desire to witness the end of all existence so that he may learn more agonizing truths.
 * His brand of wisdom is also said to be bleak, which is further proof of his nihilism.
 * Leshrac dislikes people with unnatural forms. This may be a reflection of his hypocrisy, since he himself has an abnormal body.
 * The self-knowledge of him being the only mind who knows the truth of nature has made him arrogant, if he wasn't like that before his transformation. He also humiliates others upon killing them but realizes his humility upon dying.

The Impurities
The Impurities are a vague concept frequently mentioned and invoked by Leshrac.

Enemies
Leshrac once did something to a woman acquainted with, angering him greatly. While Donte let him live at that time, he swore an oath to kill Leshrac in revenge if he ever saw him again.

doesn't like Leshrac. She seems to be familiar with his kind (either referring to elementals or others who are from the heart of nature) and she has a bad relationship with an unnamed female character who will get mad at her for killing Leshrac.

Embodiment
Transformed by the shocking truth at the heart of nature, Leshrac has attained harmony with an evil nature composed of impure elements. His body is a reflection of the nature that he is attuned to—an amalgam of twisted ungulate features, crystalline outgrowths (possibly the Chronoptic Crystals), and remnants of his former appearance. This form can be modified by external factors, causing him to grow new body parts or change existing ones. One example is the spiky growths that painfully jutted out of his back, caused by his manifest insights of agony.

A sip of the tainted waters from his nature has caused an outgrowth of branches on his forearms, which serves as an organ for channeling power through them. Stone-hard fungus has grown on his shoulders and back, and his tail has been transformed into a weapon that "pulses desolation". The effect has reached his horns as well, which corrupts the souls of anyone who touches them.

This strange elemental being has a liminal state of existence. Standing on the boundary between two planes of existence, he exists to us observable in the material plane, but he has a hidden presence in the plane where the heart of nature is located. He returns to this plane when he dies so that he may reincarnate.

Leshrac's connection to the Impurities grants him reincarnation and healing. We learn from these two processes that Leshrac is composed of the Impurities, which may possibly represent aspects of himself like his body, soul, and mind—just like how the real-life elements compose an entity's being.

Powers
Leshrac's abilities come from his elemental affinity and the Chronoptic Crystals, allowing him to manipulate natural aspects of his environment. His ability to effortlessly manipulate nature as a weapon makes him a powerful force that demolishes entire ranks with his mere presence.

With the powers bestowed upon him by the Chronoptic Crystals, Leshrac enacts a. Bouts of Chronoptic energy will shift from a hidden plane of existence and into an area around him in his current plane to evaporate anything it touches. This ability shares the same target sound effects with his ultimate, implying that both of these abilities have a common aspect between them, such as their dimensional affects or possible use of Chronoptic power.

Leshrac ignites a spark in the skies to summon a massive, raining down indiscriminate bolts of lightning upon enemy ranks and armies.

has no lore to describe what it does or what it means outside of gameplay.

As if nature's aspects weren't safe from him already, allows Leshrac to manipulate the fabric of spacetime itself, destroying nearby enemies to an unknown degree. This ability shares a similar set of target sound effects with his Diabolic Edict, hinting at the connection that was previously mentioned. If the connection between the two are to be really considered, then this power may share its source from the Chronoptic Crystals, just like his Diabolic Edict.

Description
Based on the lore of its sole inhabitant, it is located in the depths of nature itself, hence its name. This plane can be accessed by the haunted Chronoptic Crystals—other methods of reaching this plane are currently unknown. It is a real reflection of the natural world that embodies its true decayed form, composed of elements that have been impurified by debasement and destruction. These elements are called the Impurities.

This nature is said to be lurid in color, which is possibly reflected in Leshrac's appearance.

Notable Inhabitants
