COLONISERS: Season 2!!! (Colonisers of Edgerim)
Yet again, the slick and elegant Hero of the Capes takes us on a magical journey to the sector of Kala-Niza, where planeswalking is a much easier feat, and a small battalion of trained sorcerers are enough to bring a whole empire onto another world...
This winter's topic is the world of Edgerim, a mystical plane built around the shape of a disc. Long ago, some cataclysm took out most civilisation there, and the society that's left is very primitive.
This contest is going to be different from Season 1, because we will have ALLIANCES! (Maybe. Only if we amass 8 members or more. No promises). The way this will work is that 2 players will be joined into a coalition. They will still have to make their own cards for contests, but they will go to war together. If your teammate will be eliminated, do not fret, the next player without an ally will be put into a coalition with you!
Other than that, the rules are very much the same!
Create an empire from some distant plane that no one has ever heard of (you could use a plane like Rabiah, or make your own).
It needs:
1. A legendary creature to represent the ruler of the empire, or the one responsible for colonisation.
2. A creature to represent the army. It could be a famous general or soldier, or it could represent a run-of-the-mill private straight from the front line, whatever you think would work better.
3. A card of any type to represent how the empire handles magic. A wizard, or a magic potion, or anything really.
4. A macguffin! This is where things get interesting. Create an artefact that is of importance to the empire. A magic orb with the power to signify omens, or a book containing ancestral magic. It is most important to think of a creative solution.
5. And if you think of anything else, I allow up to 3 bonus cards!
Now, how does this challenge progress? Every once in a while, I will present you with a problem. A native rebellion, an appearance of a new species of beast. You will create cards to counter that problem. An artefact to represent a pact with the natives, or a trap for the beast. I will note down your solution, and think about how that affects events.
You could also go to war with another contestant, if you are feeling extreme. You could gain a major advantage when I judge the contestants (which could happen in 2 weeks, or 5 months, depends on how it goes) if you win, but you could gain a massive disadvantage if you lose. Do you want to risk it? Or would you rather sit at home and sip your cocoa plant beverage?
However, I must warn you, I will only accept 4-16 entries into the contest, because 30 empires trying to conquer a plane would be ridiculous, and the deadline is 14th of January.
Good luck!

We are the Flesh-Ridden Scourge.
Our creator, Renshak, was the first to be touched by Farnikan influence. He used his powers to invent us. His perfection, our blessing.
Renshak completed his biggest project thus far, and has manifested the largest Being, capable of holding the Scourge Moon itself.
Our magic is considered disgusting by others, which is utterly insulting. We can stand the shame attempted to be thrown at us, but it is an annoyance. Our Scourge Moon changes us to a perfect form, and they still bash us.
The Scourge Moon? Yes, Farnik. Farnik is all powerful. Farnik gives our life through its influence.
We steal the living and let Farnik corrupt them. We take the dead, our own included, and feed on them. We grow through pain and suffering. We will prevail.
You seem similar to last contest's @Lujikul .
Hope you do just as well!
I also love the art and the aesthetic it creates, mind telling who the artist is?
Jarkanolt, the emperor!
A great dragon who is in fact the soul of Jarkonailia itself (he and the other dragons don't know that he is yet and the dragons simply named the plane after him) masterminds the invasions of entire planes. He couldn't lead the attacks without his best general, though. May I introduce:
These dragons can be intelligent enough to lead entire invasions and that is because of the Eye as mentioned earlier. Here it is:
The mages of the Flock are there to strengthen the army, such as this one:
But you always need to know about the place you are invading, that that means scouts:
So that shall be my entry for the Jarkonailian Flock. Good luck to all other contestants! I shall be looking forward to seeing other entries.
I am extremely sorry everyone, I forgot to mention:
ONLY 3 COLOURS ALLOWED FOR A TRIBE!
@AxNoodle Since you made Asriel before I could say that, you don't have to switch her out, but it will be extremely chivalrous of you to do so
I was thinking more in terms of Discworld, but yeah, I guess Halo works too
Thanks for being a good sport!
Is it ok if I use Tehans for my empire? Since you designed them, I just wanna check if I can use them.
Also, please could you reference me on your account’s Tehanic Empire set you made in the description?
Amanzi is one of the two current leaders of the Avarinians and holds more respect than the bold and somewhat arrogant Umlilo.
Extra:
Umlilo is the other leader of Avarin, while more powerful than Amanzi using brute power but commands less respect because of his angry and bold nature.
- Capitalise all the words in the titles
- Capitalise the first letter of the ability text, and EVERY SINGLE ABILITY.
- Stop the card text from going over the edge. Track down where it's happening, and press enter there.
- Center your text using blank lines.
Otherwise, your cards are imaginative and the balancing is on point, however, that vision suffers from the presentation.
No, I will choose the teams myself, and you will probably hate me for the partner I put you with (he he he he)
No, sorry, only actual cards allowed.
And no, sorry, either we all fly solo (If we get less than 8 contestants), or we all team.

A lot of Tehan looking stuff in there
Heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy,
welcome to my humble contest!
Speaking of, some squirrel tribal could really spice things up around here, eh? Ehhhhh? EHHHHHHHHH?
