A Clerical Heir (Participants = Premium Prizes)
Welcome to my second Tournament of Champions. We all just finished up my A Knight's Charge with rave results and reviews. Now we move into a more subtle encounter with a battle of shadows and wits...
Requirements
1: A legendary creature of the Cleric or Noble type.
2: Another creature of the other Cleric or Noble type. (Basically, I want a cleric that works for a noble.)
3: The land that the Noble governs.
4: A legendary non-creature, non-artifact spell, that is the clerics go to. (Instant, Sorcery, Enchantment)
***Yes, old cards are allowed***
I am looking for cohesiveness, and flavor that ties your entries together. Also, balance, grammar and syntax are key.
I have an algorithm designed to compare one card versus another, or set. All judging will be based off of this. Once I get all entries, judging will consist of randomly drawn contestants, and I will post the results from each round after.
Phase 1 entries will close on 15Mar2020.

The Noble.
The Cleric.
The Legendary Spell.
The Land.
His Wife
Land
Noncreature Nonartifact spell.
All these cards are loosely based on The Wheel of Time book series.
The Noble -
The Cleric (/Noble) -
The Land that the Noble governs -
The cleric's legendary noncreature, nonartifact spell -
Her noble:
"His" lands:
Her signature magic:
The reqs are a Noble or Cleric, another Noble or Cleric, but the option you didn't pick for the first one, a signature spell, and a land. I would suggest making his wife a Cleric.
Also, nice cards. I love me a little token creation.
You're right, will remake.
thanks for catching that.
Presenting the Nobility of the River area:
(People and places from the Wind in the willows.)
If it's the same as last time, the prizes go to the people who come out on top of all the phases.
@DrakeGladis, There will be a number of phases based on entrants, more entrants = more phases. The prizes go out to the ones who make it into the final phase.
@KorandAngels, not gonna lie, possibly the best work I've seen you done.
If you all think someone would enjoy my tournaments, please don't hesitate to tag them.
The cleric:
The land:
The spell:
When I read 'legendary' I read it in terms of 'historic'
If my saga doesn't count I will make something else.

good point
sometimes I don't think about things as thoroughly as I should XD
Please meet Aelin von Eylstadt, Crown Princess of Eylstadt and next in line for the throne. Though courtly obligations are many, Aelin is a warrior at heart, and prefers to wear her armor, face hidden, and stand by her people on the battlefield as their commander. Though few know her identity, many soldiers suspect who the masked woman in command is. Her dual life and the responsibilities of both have always been problematic, but as her court responsibilities grow she is finding it harder and harder to manage, especially in light of her father's declining health.
She is aided by her cleric, Ilsa. Ilsa was born with a rare genetic defect that allows her to morph her body and shape into anyone she's had close contact with. As Princess Eylstadt's chief maid and on-hand healer, Ilsa has long since been able to replicate her Princess's body perfectly. As such, when Aelin is needed in the army, Ilsa regularly takes her place in court, assuming her body and mannerisms, learned through years of service to the Princess. As a side note, Wandelwicht means changeling in German.
Not all times are peaceful however, and despite the love the people have for the royal family, there are dissidents. Whether as her attendant, or as the Princess in disguise, Ilsa practices blood magic specific to her kind which allows her, and her Princess, to become immune to harm when near one another. She believes if she gives enough of herself, she may even be able to give the Princess the strength she needs to fend off any harm, but she's never gone so far as to try for concern over what the cost to herself might be.
Eylstadt itself is a large metropolitan citadel. The central keep houses the royal family, the state cathedral, and Eylstadt square, were seemingly daily thousands gather to cheer and sing their love for the royal family. Outside the interior, a sprawling city grows ever onward, protected by mighty walls and the nearby river. Only the royal family knows how the city truly came to be, but rumor and myth states that they led a band of nomads to settle by the nearby Eylstadt river that the family, and city, takes its name from, and as the leaders of the tribe, built the city with their own hands and through divine will over millennia.
