#fanwalkerfriday

Because sure why not.

This week, I want to discuss Pizzip, my Rakdos goblin disaster child.

So, Perenia, the plane of seasons and cycles. Mechanically it is a shard-factioned world. The seasons are physically brought to the world by avatars/incarnations of these seasons. Each country is the origin of one of these avatars and is where that season/avatar is most celebrated. These avatars are worshipped as gods and leaders take inspiration from them, but they are in fact forces of nature and not truly active or a part of ruling or directing anything.

Now Perenia does only have the 4 regular seasons that our world has, so where does the 5th avatar come in? Originally Perenia only had the 4 avatars. Eventually a young man sparked and traveled the multiverse. In his travels he found that other worlds had seasonal cycles that just happened and wondered why his world couldn’t be that way. After years of travel and learning (and oldwalker powers) he returns and attempts to kill Perenia’s avatars. While he is technically successful, the avatars are a part of the very fabric of Perenia and were reborn. Realizing that route was fruitless, he decided to use his affinity for artifacts to create an artificial avatar. This mechanical creature was able to negate the powers of the other avatars. This Oldwalker managed to create a following and with their new avatar took over a large expanse of unwanted land (inhospitable and barren) and they created their own faction. He also used his Oldwalker powers to seed his faction with peoples from across the multiverse. This would have happened ~200 years ago on our current magic timeline.

This new faction is now fairly well established and mostly accepted as a part of Perenia now, though there is still a lot of tension. The land of spring has never forgiven the slaying of their avatar, even if he did return to them. The land of winter was the most accepting of this new faction as their artifacts are very helpful for survival.

The land of Spring (name in process) is white-blue-green. Their avatar is known as Fergaes the Awakener and is a unicorn.

The land of Summer (capitol is Hiviny) is white-red-green. Their avatar is known as Matriarch Mellifauna and is a giant honey bee.

The land of Autumn (name in process) is black-red-green. Their avatar is known as Poulios, Cultivator of Ashes and is a phoenix.

The land of Winter (The Stillfrost Archipelago) is white-blue-black. Their avatar is known as Svellmani, the Harbinger of Frost and is a drake.

The fifth faction (name in process) is blue-black-red. Their avatar is known as Umbril the Perverter (or if you are part of the faction, Umrbril the Liberator) and is an artifact chimaera.

Okay, not forgetting about it this week! Anyways, since it’s the first day of Mermay, I’ll be taking questions about my three merfolk fanwalkers, Kamsi, Avana, and Meri!

It’s that time of week, and Ikoria previews just started, so how about I take asks for my fanwalker most likely to have spent time in Ikoria (and enjoy it), Nakri.

@frozenfallenuniverse wanted Xitalis and @grandwarlordradha wanted Natalia so that’s who we’ll do AMAs for today.

Since I got to play her in a one-shot today, let’s do an AMA for Haruka!
