If you guys try to save the pic of the oracle to your pc, you're gonna see the default filename of the pic as "Kastali" ;)

Well, that's a sneaky way to find out. :) Good job zephon_s774.

Alright, so Kastali is going to grow some hair and be bonded to a Solonavi before Omens is released. Got it!

I thought for sure she was bonded already, and they changed her name to Oracle because they bonded her?...I'm so confused right now....it doesn't help that I just woke up no more than half an hour ago.

This set is going to be awesome. I hope to see some huge demon Champion for the DC. and if they do a elite type thing with them, then I want a DC/MS demon so that he can be summoned by Aeradon.

They gave Kastali the title of Oracle because her scrying powers had grown to such a vast potential that she became far stronger than any other Oracle out there. So far as we know, there are only two characters that have been bonded to a Solonavi. One is Daheia who was bonded to Anquilis the Archiver and Corella who is bonded to Rayevisayla. That's all we know.

im just going to say that wow its a bold statement that adding stategy doesnt add complexity

oh and to all those ppl thinking we are getting Conquest and Dungeons I wouldnt get your hopes up

Intriguing. Very intriguing. If it is indeed a set that will enhance Dungeons and Conquest, then it is definately going to be good. I've been collecting Magna Champions and Revered Mystics so I'll be ready to build an enormous draconum-pure conquest army. If the Champions are anything like some of us are guessing, then Conquest is going to have a major comeback.

And it's about time. That mullet just wasn't doing it for her :D.

As mentioned, Anquilus is already a figure - just not named on it; but he's the Solonavi floating behind/above Daheia :)

Well it hasn't been very much touched on yet, but I see some very interesting developments for the storyline. Omens. Well that probably has a lot to do with Kastali's visions. Personally I really want to learn about that wooden crown.
The much anticipated reappearnce of Marz. So this means that either he somehow returns to the Empire and overthrows Jeet, or that there's a new faction in Omens that Marz will belong to. Unless he returns to the Free Armies and makes stronger ties with them.
As shown, there will probably be more adventures for Kastali coming up, if she gets bonded to a Solonavi.
And nobody has touched on what the cards will be? Relics, Items, Domains, Spells, Spellbooks? Something new?

Well, I guess I should just be satisfied with Sorcery for now. Here's to hoping for a late April/early May release for my birthday!!

Altem, you bring up some interesting points. From Kastali's prophecies, I think huuuuge plotlines will be in development from now until the release of Omens as to tie in these "ominous events."

The chamber spoke of the Drakona/Draconum alliance getting together to take on a powerful force. To me and to many others, that force will be the Apocalypse. Here there'll be able to throw in more nons to make the subfaction ability really powerful as well as introduce a few wand figures for the group.

The Atlanteans have been pretty quite lately. I think that they'll make an appearance in a big way with their Champion, Jeet Nujarek. This way they can easily have another Champion, Rayden Marz, be thrown in the fray to fight back. Heck, Duncan the Red was polled to confront Jeet (i think?) so him and the forgemasters could be ready to fight as well. For sure, the Champion, Darq the Corrupt, and his moonborn will make an appearance. The Solonavi's potentially strongest persona, Kastali could be their Champion as well if they develop her powers in the story to make her a huuuge threat. This could also be a way to tie Darq and the Moonborn together if he wants to bring her back to the side of the Necropolis where she once belonged.

One thing that I really think WONT be happening is an overhaul or formatting for Dungeons or Conquest play. Both those I really feel will take a while to be done and it will need to be done right....they surely won't throw both of those at us in one expansion. They'll need to really think about those to make them AWESOME. I think this set will be a great expansion that will gear TOWARDS those next two sets. We'll probably see some mechanics that will easily transition us to one of those for the next next expansion...I think when we see the rules for Omens, they won't be painstakingly heard to learn but will definitely make us aware that expansions like Dungeons 2.0 or Conquest 2.0 are on their way...

I WANT DARQ!!! :D

Me too.

HA HA...is it just me, or does she have some MASSIVE fists?...maybe her solonavi is green, so it's like a Hulk type thing. Kastali Angry! Kastali SMASH!!!! RAR!!!

It's kastali. That Oracle's mask covers her mohawk. It would be safe to assume that the some of the ff will make an entrance:

Kastali
Marz
Darq or Ribhan Crag
Red Duchess or Duncan the Red
Rax Coldstone
Nyx
Carlana

I just want Raydan Marz really really badly...
