Stoneseeker’s Voyage: Solfera
Welcome to another Stoneseeker’s Voyage where we explore the cosmic Orbitals in depth and give sneak peeks into card combos. Last week we ventured into the lush and vibrant world of Petraia. This week we take on the heated and explosive world of Solfera – the Darkiron Orbital.
Solfera’s terrain is one of brutality and strength, in a world where mountains dominate the skyline wherever you look. Deep within the caves and caverns, lay vast mineral rich deposits that are guarded by greedy protectors like the Corrupted Prismatian Behemoth.
Above ground, apex predators lurk over the mountain tops such as the Kraken of the Inferno, only to be eaten by the race above all others Dragons. Warlocks and Fireshapers draw their energy from the embers of Pyraetho’s power, an art forbidden for non-Solferans.
Solfera’s wealth is hoarded by the famed and powerful, entire kingdoms are run by the strong as their power ever increases with their consumption. For the grandest of royals, even a mere writing tool is of the highest quality as objects like the Phoenix Quill let the wonder write their own destiny.
Yet as the politics of nobility gathers wealth, it too uses that wealth to spark conflict. Across the land, war-bringers attempt to unite the continent under a single banner as was done long ago. In Solfera there is always a battle to be had.
Solferans take honor and tradition above all else, yet a group of them take it even further. Vikings pillage and raid the remaining peaceful lands of Solfera while giving tribute to their ancestors. For every person with a sword, is a merchant hungry for coin. Goblins traverse the war torn landscape finding constant opportunities for trade.
Dwarves on the other hand, are sentiment in their ways, forcing others to travel harsh paths to buy their famed equipment and artifacts. Yet above these plebeians are the proudest lineage, Dragons. Political, intelligent, destructive, it is rare for a dragon to reach adulthood but those that do enact their vengeance upon mortals.
Want to see the real brutal strength of Solfera? Here’s some card combos:
Card Combo #1: Wartamed Manticore x Dwarven Vault
After attacking with Wartamed Manticore and claiming the stone, move your vicious monster to a nearby realm. When your opponent plays a wonder to capture the undefended stone from you, play Dwarven Vault to stop them. If you wish, you can attack with manticore again in his new realm now with even more power.
Card Combo #2: Vulcan Vale x Rockskin Shredder x The Betrayer of the Ironskin
ClanBoth Rockskin Shredder and the Ironskin Betrayer both get massive buffs whenever you or your opponent harvest. By using Vulcan Vale, you can untap all of those lands once again getting extreme value!
Alright, Stoneseekers. That wraps up our trip around Solfera.
May your adventures bring you treasures.
