What lies beyond the frontier?

(Concept art by Rob Alexander)

Following the years after the Kami war between the mortal plane and the spirit world, a rebuilt Kamigawa returns to its state of normal life, training, studying, and practicing with the new magic left by the spirits. Bound by their past but offered a bright and prosperous future, generations of scholars and trainees descended in the footsteps of the ancient warriors.

But still, no mortal has dared to explore beyond the boundaries of thick forests and dangerous borderlands that divide the habitable portion of Kamigawa from the unknown. When a Tamiyo, moonfolk planeswalker, returns to her land, she comes upon the urges of dying dragon gods. They beg her to find the source of a new power, the last remnant of a spiritual strength from beyond. The only way to find it, however, is to venture out into the wilds and the harsh lands where no mortal dares to tread.

Bands of warriors, thieves, and ninjas travel in search of the power that may revive their dragon overlords. But some seek other uses for that power, and some seek to usurp their lords. Who shall find the secret to the dragon lords? Who shall by the CONQUERORS OF KAMIGAWA?

OK, so this is a concept set that I’m interested in making with collaboration with some of y’all. Input with mechanics and flavor are always needed, although I think I can handle the story by myself. I think taking the good from Kamigawa and working it into a new age of Magic will make it shine. We can return to Kamigawa pretty darn well, I should think.

Story-wise and block-wise, working with the new two-block system, the first set will be the seeking of the power, and the second will be the result of it. Conquerors of Kamigawa seems like a fitting name, and the second one, well, we’re working on it. Let’s call them code name Lost and Found, if we’re gonna go that route.

Any comments, questions, or suggestions are welcome.
