Engines of war grimoire location1/7/2024 We know from the story released so far, and the lands artwork, that Tazeem still has pockets of uncontaminated nature. So where in Zendikar could we have an Eldrazi-free or Eldrazi-light experience? I have multiple answers. "I search for a vision of Zendikar that does not include the Eldrazi." Wall of Omens flavor text So this post will be a brain-storming about how to make a cool adventure set in Zendikar, even in the Battle for Zendikar times, but without much influence of the Eldrazi. Now Battle for Zendikar is coming, and with it a new wave of excitement and will to role-play into Zendikar (shared with Gonzalo!), but also a new wave of Eldrazi madness. I just prefer not to deal with them in role-playing. But then their purpose would have been defeated, so I still "accept" them. I would have liked them more if they would have been less alien, more Zendikari. Other than that, I also think they did them too well: they are really alien and it shows. My dislike for Eldrazi is mostly due to a love for Zendikar: when you love something, you don't want to see it spoiled and ruined. Eldrazi where largely absent, mostly due to my personal dislike of them. I also kind of attached a few parts of our campaign story (especially the parts that actually never came to be played) into the story hooks, advancing a bit the whole story-line. So I went on to create the "Icons of Zendikar", and an incomplete but usable set of locations and story hooks to go with them. The concept of Icons, the Non-Playing Characters with enough influence in the setting to become political forces, and the relationships of playing characters with these Icons, fascinated me. Some time later I took interest in the very D&D-derived 13th Age table-top RPG, and more than in the game itself, in its approach to role-playing and setting-building. It was an element of Zendikar nearly impossible to ignore, even if it's been confirmed that they didn't originally belong to the setting, in the designers' view. But it was already starting to include a bit of Eldrazi in it. It stopped short of turning into a full campaign, because of defections of players and the impracticality of forums. He mastered a great adventure that in true Zendikar style was a puzzle-heavy dungeon delve in an exotic land (Tazeem). With my already long-time friend Gonzalo we once delved into the Zendikar world with D&D.
