Shadows Over Solis Pre-Release Event: March 8th

Welcome to our final article for Forging Shadows over Solis! Today, we have an electrifying preview of something the story has been building toward since the very first storyline event. But before we dive in, don’t forget to sign up for the Shadows over Solis Prerelease event happening this Saturday! Secure your spot now: https://events.solforgefusion.com/event/H5KDA81A5W

Now that you’re all set, let’s get into it!

The Darkness Within

Since the launch of the game, players have heard whispers of the Blight—a darkness seeking to claim the heart of the Forgeborn and consume the world of Solis. Over the last year, we’ve discovered its true name: the Darkforge. As the world begins to thaw, a new era dawns, but so does an ancient and terrible threat! When designing how the Darkforge would take shape in the game, we explored many possibilities. Ultimately, given its corrupting influence within the Factions, we wanted it to introduce corrupted cards into a Faction deck while still allowing access to other cards from that Faction. But that raises a critical question: which Forgeborn will lead these Darkforge decks?



Among the Forgeborn, Sunder has fallen the farthest under the Darkforge’s sway. Now, she serves as a Blighted Forgeborn, fully devoted to its sinister will. But a force as powerful as the Darkforge requires more than one leader.



The Darkforge has also claimed the soul of Cercee, who once sacrificed herself to halt its spread. Now, the undead queen rises again, commanding a new army to lay claim to Solis!

But the Darkforge’s corruption is not limited to Nekrium and Tempys. As its influence spreads, it seeks to consume Alloyin and Uterra as well! Blighted Cercee and Blighted Sunder can be found in all 4 factions!

When a deck has one of these Blighted Forgeborn the corruption also affects the deck allowing for some familiar faces to join.

I Give Into Temptation!

One of the most unforgettable moments from the very first Fuse Fest event was players shouting, “I give into temptation!” to gain power. We knew this had to be reflected in the game, and it became a core theme for the Darkforge. As you can see with Blighted Sunder and Blighted Cercee, these Forgeborn grant immense power—at the cost of your own Health. The more you sacrifice, the greater your rewards. This philosophy extends across all Darkforge cards. The Darkforge’s creatures are not new faces. These are familiar beings from the first three sets of SolForge Fusion, now twisted and reborn under the Darkforge’s influence!

Take the Metamind Overseer. Originally, it granted a single Gizmo or Mega Gizmo. But as the Metamind Omenseer, it offers even more summoning potential—at the price of your Health.

The Darkforge gave us the opportunity to design creatures with abilities stronger than what is typically seen at their Levels. This introduces an engaging new playstyle where your Health becomes a resource. Mastering this balance is the key to victory when piloting a Darkforge deck.

And if you manage your Health wisely, the Darkforge will reward your devotion handsomely!



Those who prove their loyalty to the Darkforge gain access to a free damage spell—efficient removal that helps keep you in the game as you teeter on the edge. Meeting specific Health thresholds is a powerful incentive to embrace this archetype, but it’s not the only way to unlock your Darkforge cards’ true potential!

These corrupted versions of familiar creatures grow even stronger as long as you’ve taken damage during your turn, rewarding aggressive, risk-taking play with instant benefits.

Join us in discord to see more spoilers this week!

The Darkforge allowed us to dive deep into an omni-faction archetype that fully integrates the Forgeborn. We can’t wait to see what devastating power you’ll unleash when Shadows over Solis arrives! Keep an eye out for more previews from the SolForge Fusion community this week as we approach the Shadows over Solis Prerelease event. See you there!

Shadows Over Solis Pre-Release Event: March 8th

Welcome back, fellow Forgeborn! Today we're taking a trip down memory lane and looking at the results of some of our previous storyline events and how those have shaped the design of Shadows over Solis. Players will be able to get their hands on the new set as soon as Saturday, March 8th at the pre-release event, and the set will release officially on Satuday, March 15th.

Shadows Over Solis: A World Shaped by Your Choices

The world of SolForge Fusion continues to evolve with its newest expansion, Shadows Over Solis. This set is not just a collection of new cards; it’s a milestone that reflects the collective impact of players’ decisions in both physical and digital storyline events. For newcomers and veterans alike, the release of Shadows Over Solis is a chance to see how player participation has influenced the narrative and mechanics of the game, while diving deeper into the ever-expanding lore of SolForge Fusion and the world of Solis.

The Birth of the Metaminds

The Alloyin’s journey in Shadows Over Solis began at Origins with the event Forging Destiny, where Crux Cobalt’s history and master plan were crafted by fans. Crux’s vision of a hivemind network became a reality through a series of player-driven outcomes, leading to the rise of Metamind creatures. This technological marvel isn’t just a thematic expansion; it’s a gameplay innovation. In Set 4, Alloyin players will gain access to a host of Metamind creatures, reinforcing their dominance as the faction of intellect and innovation.

Sacrifice and Shadows in Nekrium

Cercee’s tale took a dramatic turn during Fuse Fest 2024, where players uncovered a rebellion within the city of Shroud, spearheaded by the Forgeborn Nix Nekyia and their clandestine group known as “The Resurrection.” The rebellion’s discovery prompted Cercee to recruit more assassins into her elite guard, the Queen’s Knives, to eliminate the threat. This influx of warriors expanded Nekrium’s ranks, resulting in more warrior card-types for the Nekrium faction in this new set.

Amidst this turmoil, Toxys Mori, the leader of Cercee’s elite guard, was revealed as a traitor. Cercee’s attempt to assassinate Toxys forced her to flee, embarking on the pilgrimage to the SolForge. There, Toxys emerged as a powerful new Forgeborn, reshaping the balance of power within Nekrium.

Tempys Secures Whitefang Pass

For Tempys, the events of UKGE 2023 marked a monumental shift, redefining the faction both culturally and as an emerging world power. Tempys players’ choices won them Whitefang Pass, a vital trade corridor that reshaped the boundaries between factions. This victory not only granted Tempys a strategic advantage but also paved the way for their first non-nomadic settlement. Shadows Over Solis will see Whitefang Pass added to the Tempys faction as a new Exalt.

The Tempys faction’s story also welcomes a new Forgeborn, Tundra, who represents an element of the growing divisions among the Tempys clans. These divisions split into three paths: those who follow the power-hungry and corrupted Sunder, those who adhere to the ancient and dogmatic ways of Korok, and those who choose a third path, embodying a new path we will likely explore at future events. Her arrival in Shadows Over Solis is accompanied by a surge of yeti creature cards, bringing fresh possibilities to the Tempys playstyle. This story is deeply rooted in the deck lore surrounding Sylka, an ancient yeti who heroically sacrificed herself for her kin, inspiring Tundra's path to the SolForge.



Redemption in Uterra

The Uterra faction’s arc has been one of redemption and renewal. At Gen Con 2024, players witnessed Oros’ cleansing from the corruption of the Blight and his reunion with Ironbeard. Once consumed by the DarkForge in a desperate attempt to save his people, Oros now stands as a symbol of healing. His redemption mirrors Uterra’s broader narrative shift towards unity and collaboration. This theme is further explored in the Scorchwyrm Online Event, where players helped tame the terrifying Scorchwyrm, forging a bond between Oros and Nova.

[Some information about the Uterra story has been redacted!!]
The unity of the Forgeborn in the Uterran cause is the foundation for a new mechanic in Shadows Over Solis. This mechanic encourages Uterra players to strategically position their creatures adjacent to one another, creating powerful synergies representing the faction’s lore-derived focus on collaboration.

Exploring Deck Lore

Deck Lore is custom-tailored lore about one of the SolForge decks. Players who participate in storyline events have the opportunity to immortalize their decks through custom-written short stories permanently attached to their registered decks.

For example, the Tempys faction’s journey in Shadows Over Solis draws heavily from the tale of Sylka, an ancient yeti whose heroic sacrifice continues to influence her kin—maritime sea shanties and a deck full of yetis inspired this lore.

To have deck lore written, participants generally need to attend a storytelling event and recount an exciting moment from a match. While this is the most common way, there are no hard and fast rules about how or when deck lore is created—the decision ultimately lies with the Stone Blade team. A handful of these submissions are selected, and the details provided are used to create stories attached to the decks, immortalizing them on solforgefusion.com.

On our story page, you can find all the SolForge Lore, including deck lore.

A Story You Helped Forge

Every event, every decision, and every sacrifice made by players has left a mark on Shadows Over Solis. From Cercee’s rise to power to the taming of the Scorchwyrm, the set was crafted from a player-driven narrative. The choices made at SolForge Fusion events have influenced the storyline and shaped the cards and mechanics that define this set.

As Shadows Over Solis launches, it’s clear that the world of SolForge Fusion is as dynamic and collaborative as the players who bring it to life. Whether you’re a seasoned veteran or a curious newcomer, now is the perfect time to jump into the fray and see how your choices can shape the future of Solis.

In the end, the story is yours to forge.
