Card Art Showcase: Spirit Burst

Dear Denizens of Issilith,

"Let your conviction burn away the impure!"

At first glance, the Ascended may appear feeble and delicate, but beneath their seemingly frail exterior lies remarkable resilience that defies expectations. This resilience emanates from a mysterious protective field, an ethereal shield that enshrouds them, enhancing their endurance and fortitude. While some Ascended are aware of this shielding power, others remain oblivious to its true nature. However, the most adept individuals, honed through rigorous training, comprehend the wellspring from which this power emanates—their unwavering conviction, steadfast ideals, and unyielding determination. Armed with this profound knowledge, these chosen few harness their inner strength to amplify their endurance and, when necessary, channel their protective force into formidable and devastating manifestations. Whether achieved through unwavering focus or born from moments of desperate resolve, the unleashed power of Spirit Burst exemplifies the extraordinary capabilities of the Ascended.



This ethereal ability card, with a cost of 5, possesses the power to shape the destiny of local units. When unleashed, direct its focus towards a chosen unit, enshrouding it in a shimmering aura of protection. As if touched by the divine, the unit becomes adorned with two potent shield counters, forming an impenetrable barrier against malevolent forces. Empowered by this celestial shield, the unit undergoes a profound transformation, surging in power by an astounding +2. Your chosen unit becomes an unstoppable force, capable of triumphing over formidable adversaries and shifting the tides of battle.

May the radiant energies of Spirit Burst illuminate your path to victory! Share your favourites and if you haven’t already, join our Discord channel and exchange your favourites with other Residents of Issilith!

Team Favourite Cards XI: Genemite


Dear Denzines of Issilith!

Fighting the isolated groups of Oblivion, such as the formidable Genemite is an exhausting challenge, leaving warriors feeling as if they've forgotten how to wield a blade.

TEAM MEMBER: Martin (Data Analyst)

FAVOURITE CARD: Genemite

“This aberration assaults the senses with its grotesque appearance, but it is nothing compared to what it will do to your psyche.”

Fighting against the forces of Oblivion is an already formidable challenge. While dealing with their vast armies may be a familiar concept for most armies in Issilith, the true menace lies within isolated special groups of Oblivion. Their tactics go beyond sheer brute force, delving into a realm of sinister strategies. Among these, the Genemites stand out as some of the most despised adversaries. Individually, they may not pose a significant threat, and dispatching one swiftly is feasible if detected early. However, their presence is rarely solitary, and spotting them in time proves unlikely. Engaging with these creatures takes a toll not only on the body but also on the mind, as prolonged encounters can make one feel as though the mastery of swordplay has been forgotten, leaving a sense of profound unease and fatigue.



Genemite is a formidable addition in any battle. With a power of 3, health of 3, and a cost of 3, this misevolved creature may not boast raw strength, but its unique ability more than compensates. When played, it targets a local unit, executing a daring move by stealing all modifications from its hapless victim. And here's the thing—Genemites are rarely alone. These cunning creatures tend to operate in groups, making their presence even more threatening on the battleground. With the innate ability to steal modifications from other units, Genemites become a force to be reckoned with. Their cunning presence on the field can completely change the game, seizing control and reshaping the outcome of the conflict. Brace yourself to witness the true power of the Genemites as they unleash their potent ability upon the unsuspecting.


WHY: Genemite is just downright freaky, but in a good and cool way. Being able to steal modifications from other units? That's awesome! It's like having a card that can adapt to any situation and turn the tables in an instant. Talk about a game-changer! I'm totally intrigued by its eerie presence and the potential it holds to shake things up on the battleground. The Genemite is one wild card that's both captivating and game-defining.

Card Art Showcase: Yul'Tiro

Dear Denzines of Issilith!

“Legends say that no harm will fall upon the land this Divine Beast chooses as its temporary resting place.”

Yul'Tiro, The Eternal Protector, is a Divine Beast and a paragon of the Ascended. His teachings, known as the Teachings of the Moon, stand as pillars of Ascended ideologies. Resembling a colossal turtle, he embodies the principles of protection and preservation. The Ascended zealously guard the knowledge of the Divine Beasts, keeping it hidden from outsiders and even most of their own population. These legendary creatures rarely reveal themselves to mortals, and their appearances are often dismissed as mere legends or visions.



As a legendary demigod, Yul'Tiro possesses a power of 2 and a towering health of 12. Summoning Yul'Tiro requires a strong heart and unwavering determination. What sets this majestic creature apart is its unique ability to absorb damage intended for your Core. Any harm aimed at your Core is deflected onto Yul'Tiro, shielding you from harm. His formidable shell also repels any effects cast upon him by an ability card. Embrace the divine might of Yul'Tiro and let this extraordinary Divine Beast protect you on the battleground.
