	ELADAMRI Character (Hand -1, Life +15) You may redirect to yourself any amount of damage dealt to creatures you control. Proud, shrewd, and charismatic, Eladamri has a commitment to his people that is absolute. The guerilla war he wages against Volrath has convinced him that the only way to liberate the Skyshroud elves is to lead all Rath’s refugees to freedom. So be it.		LYNA Character (Hand +2, Life -4) All creatures you control gain shadow. (Those creatures can block and be blocked only by creatures with shadow.) One of the few Soltari who can cross the shadow barrier, Lyna serves as an emissary to the outside world. A quick thinker and convincing speaker, she does whatever she can to lead her people out of the shadows and into substance.		MULTANI Character (Hand -3, Life -2) All creatures you control get +X/+0, where X is the number of cards in your hand. In mentoring apprentice mages, the forest spirit Multani teaches each to respect nature while making use of its gifts. Multani taught Gerrard, Mirri, and Rofellos to hone their spellcasting in tandem with more physical disciplines so that both would be improved.

	ORACLE Character (Hand +1, Life +9) You may untap any attacking creatures you control and remove them from combat. Known simply by her title, Oracle uses her gift of prophecy to aid her people. She believes Gerrard to be the Korvec-dal, the one who will unite the people of Rath against Volrath’s tyranny. Her only doubt is whether she will be strong enough to guide him to his destiny.		ROFELLOS Character (Hand -2, Life +4) Whenever a creature you control is put into a graveyard from play, draw a card. Gerrard’s longtime friend and fellow student under the maro-sorcerer Multani, Rofellos is an excellent warrior and excellent company. Though adept at both magic and swordplay, he’s far more comfortable with a flagon in his hand and a good companion at his side.		SIDAR KONDO Character (Hand -1, Life +12) 3: Target creature gets +3/+3 until end of turn. Kondo served as guardian to the infant Gerrard and raised him alongside his own son, Vuel. He taught both boys to be strong and to lead, but whereas Gerrard became a champion of honor, Vuel’s bitterness lead him to become an equally devastating force of malice.

	SLIVER QUEEN, BROOD MOTHER Character (Hand +0, Life +8) 3: Put a Sliver token into play. Treat this token as a 1/1 colorless creature. Though long held captive beneath Volrath’s stronghold, the sliver queen is actually freer than most of Rath’s denizens. Her maternal instincts always take precedence—even when they conflict with the evincar’s agenda—and through her numerous litters, she ranges across all of Rath.		TAKARA Character (Hand +3, Life -8) Sacrifice a creature: Takara deals 1 damage to target creature or player. Takara banishes the shadow of her father’s ignoble reputation through the dedication, plain speaking, and swift action of a warrior. By refusing Starke’s path of self-interest and opportunism, she has learned what he will never know: the value of sacrifice for a worthy cause.
