Vanishing Lands
On an unnamed plane, two brothers' wizards, Nevar and Jamil are battling. The battle has apparently raged for a number of days and both wizards seem to have spent all of their mana. However, the wizard Jamil has held onto an ace up his sleeve and summons a final defender, the nightmare Caliphear. With very little to protects himself, the wizard Nevar quickly falls before the might of the dark steed. Caliphear goes to Jamil to be unsummoned, thus returning to her home in the Great Salt Marshes of Western Golthonor on Dominaria, from which she has been missing for too long.
Once home, Caliphear immediately notices that something is wrong. Her attendants are nowhere in sight, and her lands is unattended. Since the very swamp is dying, the Nightmare can instantly feel herself weakening. Caliphear is barely home when she runs into Laconia, her last living slave, who is being chased by an Azure Drake. Since she is on her own ground, Caliphear easily defeats the Drake. After trouncing the Drake, Laconia updates Caliphear on the happenings in the swamp. Caliphear discovers that her home has been raided, and an enchantment has been placed on the swamp: the swamp is slowing being drained, turning into a barren land. Caliphear is also told of the attack on her slave dale by an army of goblins and Shanodin Dryads. Her army, composed by Frozen Shades, was unable to stop the invaders, without the black mana provided by the swamp.
After telling to Laconia to hide himself, Caliphear decides to go on reconnaisance in order to find out who is defiling her swamp. She arrives at the Corthipan Inlet, where the Golthonor Torrent should feet the Salt Marshes, and find it blocked by an invisible wall. A human wanderer tells Caliphear that this is clearly a work of deceptive blue magic. At first Caliphear thinks that the strangers is the one ho drained her swamps, but since she doesn't sense any magic of him, decides to make him one of his slaves. The human declares himself to be Altair of Coloni and that, in his land, the horses serve the humans and not the other way around. The Nightmare reaction is to attack him, but Altair is protected by some enchantment that not only hides his identity as a planeswalker, but also protects him by Caliphear attacks. Caliphear's magic is redirected against the Nightmare herself, who has a vision of her own death, should she fails to revive the swamp. Altair reveals that his home, the Plains of Coloni, is being flooded by the same water that should feed the swamp. A powerful wizard seems to be behind this and Altair proposes Caliphear an alliance to stop their common enemy. In exchange for her help, Altair offers her ten years of his service. Caliphear accepts.
