The Lore of Bloodgate
The Fall of the Wildwood
Long ago, the realm of Wildwood flourished under the protection of the Elder Council - powerful mages, noble warriors, and cunning rogues who maintained the ancient Bloodgate, a mystical barrier separating the mortal realm from the Shadowlands.
But treachery came from within. The court wizard Malachar, consumed by forbidden knowledge and dark ambition, sought to breach the Bloodgate and claim dominion over the demonic legions beyond. In a night of fire and blood, he shattered the ancient seals, unleashing a horde of nightmares upon the unsuspecting world.
The Wildwood Deception
The demons came not as mindless beasts, but as cunning strategists. They took the forms of dragons, corrupted nature spirits, and twisted reflections of fallen heroes. They transformed the lush forests into haunted groves, the pristine rivers into rivers of shadow, and the peaceful villages into battlegrounds of eternal conflict.
The survivors speak of the Wildwood Deception - the demons' cruel game of hope and despair. They allow champions to rise, gathering followers and building strength, only to crush them at their peak. Each defeat feeds the Bloodgate, strengthening the demonic hold on the realm.
The Last Hope
Yet prophecy speaks of a true champion - one who can master the ancient arts of the Elder Council, wield creatures both noble and savage, and finally close the Bloodgate forever. The demons grow restless, for they sense this champion approaches.
Could it be you?
The Three Paths
The Barbarian's Path: Channel raw fury and breakthrough strikes. Warriors who walk this path believe that overwhelming force can shatter any demonic defense. Their legendary "Bloodfury Dominion" teaches that when one enemy falls, the momentum continues to the next.
The Mage's Path: Harness arcane power and summon dragons from the astral plane. Masters of the "Dragon's Wrath" deck command mighty wyrms and ancient wizards, wielding magic that grows stronger with each passing moment.
The Rogue's Path: Strike swiftly before the enemy can react. The "Legion of the Forest" favors speed over power, teaching that a blade in the shadows is worth a sword in the sun. Their initiative allows attacks that catch demons unprepared.
Choose your path wisely, champion. The fate of Wildwood rests in your hands.
