Story[]
The western desert of Sanghalim grows several miles every year, slowly eating away at the lush central forests of Jeffreys . Seeing the expansion of the desert would inevitably destroy her own and her sisters' home, Lixis resolved to learn the science of biomancy, in hopes of creating a way to restore the blighted brush lands to life and fight the desert. Reaching the northern nation of Willat , the capital of Technomagickal and alchemical research in the world, Lixis joined the laboratories of famed alchemist Aaron Ross and showed a natural aptitude for life sciences. There she set about researching ways to improve and empower life. After Ross's research was deemed heretical and condemned by the magisters of Willat, Lixis fled with Ross's greatest creation, Kehrolyn, and his research notes. She is close to finding the secret of restoring the desert-swept lands to life, and only a few clues remain to be found...

Rule FAQs[]
- Q: Can I disable Kehrolyn’s current form with my Naturalizing Style?
- A: No. Kehrolyn’s current form is a second Style, not a stat bonus. (War rulebook)
- Q: What happens if I've used Lance and Heketch teleported directly beside me during the Ante step?
- A: He stays where he is. The passive movement-preventing effect of Lance doesn’t activate until it has been turned face-up. (War rulebook)
- Q: What happens if a player must ‘advance until they are adjacent’ to me, but I’ve used Lance?
- A: They must move forward until they are prevented from doing so by Lance’s effect, then stop.
Unofficial FAQ[]
- Q: How does Naturalizing interact with anted Seal (Mikhail) or Ammo (Rukyuk) Tokens? Does Mikhail apply a style and is Rukyuk able to hit?
- A: Both Mikhail and Rukyuk only care that the token was anted. The Ammo Token would not grant its benefit but Rukyuk would be able to hit. In the same way Mikhail would apply his style. (Official FAQ)
