Tip of the Scales

You helped the Gobson Family put paid to the Gobalanos. You gave Nomos hope and rallied the fey. You defended Thanaloria against the Redywyrm dragons. And you collapsed the caverns leading into Rage's lair, which has become his tomb. The tide has turned. Join the rebels as they set their sights on Mox City, where Mantaroth rallies the Chaos legionnaires for a final stand. It's time to end this. Liberty or death. Vonak!

With Rage trapped within his lair and the other red dragons fighting over conrol of Mount Redwyrm's flight, you returned to the kingdom of the high elves. No sooner had you caught your breath than Bera Dallin and her Dauntless arrived on tower griffins.

Seems the rebels have liberated nearly every sovereign splinter of Praetoria. The last holdout is the Mox Confederation, where Mantaroth stands at the head of the army of the Tokatag Kalamenty in Mox City.

To defeat them, Bera Dallin plans to assault the Golden Arena, which the Chaos Empire has converted into an arms depot. But the Dauntless can't do it alone. They'll need your mage wagons and your help to take it. Seize the Golden Arena and take the legions' weapons and armor to Elias Max Pruitt and his Mox City rebels.

Elias Max Pruitt grew up on the streets of Mox City, surviving by his wits and charm. He mastered the art of deception at an early age and earned a reputation as a cunning con man who could talk his way out of anything. But his luck eventually ran out when he crossed a powerful necromancer.

Hired by a rival mage to steal the necromancer's grimoire, Elias was caught in the act. The necromancer cursed him with wraithblight: a silent affliction that slowly sapped his strength and threatened to unravel him entirely.

Refusing to succumb, Elias devoted himself to finding a cure. He scoured Mox City's library, sought out the most renowned scholars and most powerful magic users, but no cure was to be found. Ultimately, he turned to runemancy, teaching himself protective runes that halted the curse's advance.

Although his body was weakened, his mind was not. Nor had he lost his opportunistic nature. Elias used his power of runemancy to outmaneuver his rivals in the streets of Mox City and secure power and influence.

However, when the Chaos Empire conquered Praetoria and claimed the city as its own, it put a damper on Elias's operations. But he had bested wraithblight; he'd be damned if he bowed to the empire's goons.

Elias gathered the street urchins, outcasts, and misfits of Mox City and mobilized his own kind of resistance. Some saw him as a hero. Others saw him as the same opportunistic hustler he'd always been. Regardless, his cunning and intellect kept him one step ahead of the legions, and his loyalty toward his followers formed a bond that transformed them from a ragtag resistance to a kind of family.

As the rebellion spreads across Praetoria and the Battle for Mox City approaches, Elias Max Pruitt has emerged as a crucial ally of the Dauntless, Riftwatchers, and Mox Confederation. And while his motives and endgame remain an enigma, one thing is clear: he'll do whatever it takes to end the Chaos Empire's tyranny.

Help Pruitt and his Mox City rebels. defeat Mantaroth and the Tokatag army. Slay Silus of the Rift, and the dark god Uul will lose its hold. The legions will crumble. You'll be hailed a hero, and it's all happily ever after.

But something lurks beneath Praetoria, in the caverns of the lower Deep. Something indescribably huge with an insatiable appetite.

Since before the reach of memory or history, the immense dragon known as Nidhoggr has slumbered beneath Praetoria, buried in the nethermost reaches of the Deep.

But when the legions of Chaos tore open rifts in the boundaries that separated the Splinterlands from the other realms of existence, Nidhoggr stirred. For he is a guardian dragon and custodian of these ley lines.

He rose from the chasm in which he'd buried himself, shook off a mountain of rock and debris, and enlisted the denizens of the Deep to travel to the surface and observe. Soon, he learned of the Chaos Empire's trespass. He learned of the Splinterlanders failure to stop them.

And he found them both guilty.

Praetoria trembles as Nidhoggr stretches his wings and tears at the earth with claws and teeth. Soon, he will rise, both vengeful and ravenous.
