I was looking at the Journey cards, abd I saw a lot of cards refrencing murder of gods and the fall of Xenagos. What happened? Did elspeth kill him?
See {deicide}.
"Dei" as in deity, deus, or god (so xenagos) and "cide" like killing. Literally "godkiller" or "killing of a god" or something like that.
Basically, the plot of Theros is...
Xenagos realizes he'd rather be a God on one plane than a weak Planeswalker in the multiverse (Big Fish, Small Pond)
Elspeth the ends up on Theros and inadvertently helps Xenagos ascend to Godhood, throwing Theros out of whack.
Because a god cannot kill another god, Heliod and the others recruit Elspeth as their Champion, and eventually turn her sword in to the Godsend (Literally both God-send and God's-end).
With the new sword and Ajani's help, she commits Deicide (the act of killing a Deity or god), and strips Xenagos of his newfound power.
At least, that's as best as I know it.
Well done.
Thanks, and I missed it because I can't find the plotlines anywhere.
If you're going to read any of the books, just find the PDF of the 'The Brother's War'. It's the story of Urza and Mishra and it's a pretty great read.
My first life? They had better get it right!
The Time Spiral cycle of books with {Teferi}, {Jhoira}, and {Radha} were great too.
