Other Dieties
Iona, Shield of Emeria
  • Angelic protector of the realm of Emeria. Worshipped by humans, she grants light, healing and protection to all of Tazeem
  • A devil of hindrance and dogma. To the Merfolk, she is the source of ignorance and thoughtlessness. She is not viewed as the defender of the land of Tazeem, but rather the prison guard to many of Emeria’s great secrets
Ob Nixilis
  • Dark lord of revenge, and malice
  • Wanders the surface of Zendikar in search of those to enact his personal revenge
Linvala, Keeper of Silence
  • Angelic sentinel sent to Zendikar to maintain a balance of power over the land of Tazeem. Worshiped by humans, she tames the violent powers of nature and suppresses the magic of the mysterious hedrons
  • Seen as a great abomination to the elves. Linvala is viewed as a tyrant who hinders the powers of nature.
Omnath, Shepherd of the Forest
  • Worshipped and feared by the elves, Omnath is a pure manifestation of the life energy of the world. The dense magic of Zendikar’s forests feed the great being and in return it graces the land with protection against any that may seek to do the land harm.
  • The Kor believe that Omnath was created by the great god Cosi, to safe guard the forests and animals until his great return in physical form.
  • No one has seen the great being for centuries and Zendikar’s forests have run wild and hostile since his disappearance. Many druids search for the land for Omnath, hoping that the shepherd will return again. Deep inside, each forest creature feels Omnath’s presence, but it feels distant and small.
