Editing Ixalan (section)

==Pretentious Metaplot==
So, what's the big deal with this Immortal Sun malarkey? Well, as usual, it all stems back to a couple of [[Planeswalker|Oldwalkers]] fucking things up for everybody.

See, around 1300 years ago, the [[sphinx]] planeswalker [[Azor]] and the [[dragon]] planeswalker [[Ugin]] got together to discuss their mutual hatred for another dragon planeswalker: the infamously dickish [[Nicol Bolas]]. Determined to put an end to his long career of douchebaggery, they came up with what they thought would be the perfect plan: finding a suitably unimportant backwater world in the middle of multiversial nowhere (aka, Ixalan), they extracted Azor's planeswalker Spark and used it to create a powerful magical item, the Immortal Sun, which could be used both to forcibly summon a planeswalker and to turn an entire plane into an inescapable prison for planeswalkers. Ugin would go to [[Tarkir]] to lure Nicol into a confrontation, allowing Azor to know where to aim and thusly he could zap Nicol into Ixalan and trap him there. Then Ugin and Azor could use the Immortal Sun to free Azor from Ixalan and restore Azor's spark, leaving Nicol confined to Ixalan forever.

Naturally, it went completely tits up. Nicol had already been looking for Azor to kick his ass just because, and so he found out about their plans. On Tarkir, Nicol beat Ugin like a drum, kicking his ass so thoroughly that if it weren't for the assistance of a time-displaced planeswalker who sealed Ugin away in a protective shell of stone to recover, the Spirit Dragon would have died. Azor, meanwhile, was left stranded in Ixalan.

After a few decades, Azor got bored and decided to go back to his old ways of founding new lawful societies. And, just like all the other cultures he set up, they eventually turned into disasters. When he gave the Immortal Sun to a monastery in Torrezon to guard for him, it kicked off three centuries of civil war before Azor got sick of it and stole the Immortal Sun back, flying off to Ixalan. There, he gave it to the Sun Empire to guard, but they misused it as a tool for conquest, so he destroyed their empire and took what had been the heart of it, Orazca, as his new demesne, charging the River Heralds with guarding him.

Cue the present day, when Nicol Bolas sends the [[gorgon]] planeswalker [[Vraska]] to Ixalan to retrieve the Immortal Sun, having decided that it could be useful in his plans to conquer [[Ravnica]]. But, on Ixalan, she meets an unexpected face; an amnesiac [[Jace Beleren]], who had instinctively planeswalked to Ixalan after nearly being killed by Nicol on [[Amonkhet]]. Together, the two find their way to Orazca, where they unravel Nicol's basic plot - to use the Immortal Sun to conquer Ravnica - and try to set up a counter-plan, involving Vraska becoming an unconscious sleeper-agent against Nicol.

In the wake of this, they go their separate ways; Vraska returns to [[Ravnica]], where she makes her "successful" report to Nicol Bolas and is rewarded by being presented with Jarad, Guildleader of the Golgari Swarm, so she can petrify him and take his place as Guildleader, whilst Jace planeswalks to [[Dominaria]] in search of [[Gideon Jura]]. Oh, and [[Huatli]], the Ixalani planeswalker leaves her home in the Sun Empire by planeswalking to [[Kaladesh]], whilst the Sun Empire officially claims the Golden City of Orazca for its own and starts making plans to consolidate power on Ixalan-the-continent before counter-invading Torrezon.
