Grixis Invade Naya

The Arch Daemon sent out expeditionary forces into both Jund and Esper. In both plains his minions met not the locals, but Nayans in Jund and Marcial’s men in Esper. Both times the Arch Daemon unleashed a vast horde of zombies, crushing the opposition under wave after wave of undead. Returning to Grixis the Arch Daemon was approached by the Grand Necromancer. The pair entered a long discussion about combining their resources to invade another shard and further spread their influence. Eventually an invasion of Naya was agreed, and both poured in an equal amount of resources, sending a large force of undead in the verdant shard of Naya.

Once there Captain Rosendo marshalled his force and moved to engage the newfound foe. His men moved in quickly, catching the Arch Daemon’s men off guard. The Arch Daemon pulled back his minions and regrouped, preparing to strike back. Pushing in hard with a great horde of undead the Arch Daemon left Rosendo with little choice but to withdraw.

While the Arch Daemon drove of the Bant army off the Grand Necromancer drove into the Nayans. Searyn rallied his Elves and marshalled Gargantuans to defend his homeland. The Grand Necromancer had much experience against Imanu’s tribe, and was more than ready to deal with the beasts. His undead horde surged forward before Searyn could get the Gargantuans in position, his death magic crippling them and driving them back from the rich source of mana he could sense up ahead. Now all that remained was to storm the place and seize this power for himself before the Arch Daemon did.

Seeing a path to a rich mana source now open thanks to the Grand Necromancer the Arch Daemon moved in to face it, but had to fend off another assault from Bant forces first. This time it was from General Sebastian Maximillian. A Valeron veteran Sebastion believed himself ready for anything that he might encounter in Naya. What he wasn’t expecting to find was an army from Grixis. Hastily he formed his man up and drove into the ranks of the Arch Daemon’s minions, but he couldn’t break through on the ground, and Kathari were threatening to sweep past them. Aven regiments arrived in the nick of time, but the Arch Daemon was ready and used his magic to pluck them from the sky, forcing the soldiers of Valeron to withdraw. Sebastian rallied his troops and struck back hard, smashing through the Arch Daemon’s line and devastating his undead forces. However, a small group of humans working for the Arch Daemon blasted back with powerful offensive magic, turning the tide just when it looked like the Grixis line would crumble. Reluctantly Sebastian pulled his forces back, withdrawing from the field.

With the Valeron army out of the way the Arch daemon moved on the mana source. Searyn had left a force behind with orders to defend it to the last as he went in search of new magics to use in the fight. The Elves dug in and awaited the oncoming onslaught. Surrounded on all sides things looked grim for the Nayans. The Arch Daemon ordered an advance, and his undead minions moved in. The Elves fought valiantly, and defeated many of the Arch Daemons minions, but in the end it was too much for them. As night fell the place of power was now in the hands of the Arch Daemon.
