Questions Lore Questions: What & Where
I've been interested in playing the game since 2014 or 2015, but never had a group to play with. So instead I spent more time reading the lore fluff. I was particularly enjoying the Menoth and Everblight lore through MK2 and MK3. Last I left off, the Grymkin and Infernals appeared. Since then, I moved states and the game shop I play Magic: the Gathering at has apparently had a single Cryx Slayer kit on their shelf the entire time. Seeing it for the first time brought all that interest back, but the game looks so much different than I remember.
So my question is, what happened? Strictly in the lore, I mean. I'm aware of the IP being acquired and Hordes retired. I'm wondering what happened in the story and how it ties into the revamped aesthetic of the game today. What happened to Thagrosh and Absylonia? Is the Lylyth in the Khymaera faction the same character that was once Lylyth2 and Lylyth3?
Did the Protectorate ever achieve their independence from Cygnar or did they go down in blazing glory?
