#Mailbag: Were there any appearances of the original Moxen in any of the Pre-Revisionist works or comics? I don't recall seeing anything about them outside of their cameo (literally) appearances on the art of the Scourge Warchief cycle.
The original Mox were in fact used as part of the Armada comics. Towards the end of the Ice Age, a number of planeswalkers gathered to discuss the problem of the Shard of Twelve Worlds. This gathering was called the Summit of the Null Moon, and because of the disparate personalities involved, it of course failed, however it did set the stage for the ascension of the Battlemage known as Ravidel.
During the gathering, a battle broke out which ended with the death of Ravidel’s friend Chromium Rheul, one of the few remaining Elder Dragons. Ravidel swore vengeance on all those who had a hand in it, even those who hadn't done anything to help or hinder either side.
Once he ascended, he gathered the Mox Jet, Mox Ruby, and Mox Sapphire from Liana, a sage of Minorad, and used them to forge the Mox Beacon. The beacon, when sounded, would draw planeswalkers to Corondor, a continent where he had set into motion a plan that would lead to a war that would destroy every planeswalker which had ever crossed him.
