Storyline
A mere 30 years have passed since Relidon, but time passes fast for Novea. An empire has already risen and fallen. The great city of Vaask built at the heart of the battlefield that had ravaged the plane for so long had stood as a shining symbol of hope, but had now become a dangerous hive of every threat the plane had to offer. An illness called simply the Blight ravages those who try to survive within the city, and frequently breaks out to the villages that have fled the city's walls. Rogue Krell patrol the city, believing they are at war and attacking anything they get eyes on. The city still has much automation running, creating an overabundance of refined aether and a poisonous gas referred to as radiance, both of which are spilling into and warping the wildlife that has managed to survive this long.

Eos Akari, great grandson of Akasha Akari, spends his days testing the Blight in an effort to find a cure. Trea Anir has found her way back, but is not entirely sure why, and doesn't recognize her home at all, eventually turning against the Krell and destroying them across the city. Akasha is summoned from Itsk, finally causing her to succumb to the Blight and begin killing the very people who had summoned her for assistance. Xaro Tarax returns to the plane, and is quickly consumed by the strengthened Blight. With a powerful planeswalker host at its command, the Blight took its opportunity to leave Vaask, and spread to planes it had never even dreamed of.

The events of Shadows of Vaask were chronicled by Arc Atencio, who used the horrors she witnessed as justification to destroy the planar portal connecting Novea to Laptew, both ensuring that they could never reach Laptew, but dooming the survivors of Novea to receive no help from them.
