Plagued by scandals around the recent unveiling and opening of the continent of Praetoria for exploration and settlement, the Wizards’ Council has suddenly and mysteriously disbanded, providing a rare opportunity for Splintral scholars to begin unraveling their many secrets. Before the death of Gariboleus the Old, the aged Wizard left a magical inscription upon the wall of a cave hidden deep in the Praetorian wilderness that began to tell the story. This cave was discovered by Truck Vandenburg, the first pioneer of the Praetorian explorations. The secret contents of Gariboleus’ inscription were revealed to the Order of the Silver Shield, who shared them with the most powerful people in the Splinterlands for an undisclosed price.
