Volrath's forces, led by the dark angel Selenia, swarm the ship looking for Legacy artifacts – one of which is Karn. Captain Gerrard falls overboard into the forest of Skyshroud below. In an act of nonviolence, Karn gives himself up and is taken aboard the <i>Predator</i>. All the remaining artifacts are taken by Volrath except Squee's Toy. Tahngarth leaps onto the fleeing <i>Predator</i> and later finds Karn. Greven <i>il</i>-Vec intervenes against Tahngarth and takes him prisoner. Meanwhile, Gerrard flees the merfolk and finds himself in the company of the Vec on a pilgrimage. Their leader, The Oracle, believes Gerrard is a prophesied hero, the Korvecdal. The remaining crew of the <i>Weatherlight</i> descends into the Skyshroud forest for repairs, and Hanna and Mirri set out on foot to find Gerrard. The Skyshroud elves capture them and bring them before their elven lord Eladamri, who happened to receive the Vec and Gerrard into his company. Gerrard explains his mission and convinces Eladamri to free Hanna and Mirri. Gerrard then discusses the plans to reach Volrath's stronghold with Eladamri, Starke, and the Oracle <i>en</i>-Vec.<sup id="cite_ref-Duelist5_8-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Duelist5-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The <i>Predator</i> returns to Volrath's stronghold, where Volrath is displeased that Greven <i>il</i>-Vec failed to capture Gerrard, and uses his dark magic to torture him. Karn and Tahngarth are imprisoned in Volrath's torture chamber. On the <i>Weatherlight</i>, Eladamri provides the crew with directions to a portal that could help them escape Rath. Ertai leaves the ship to interpret the portal's runes, and to prepare it for use when the <i>Weatherlight</i> returns from the stronghold. Ertai is confronted by the Soltari emissary, Lyna, and is drawn into her world full of beings caught between Rath and Dominaria. In return, Ertai draws Lyna into his reality on Rath and they begin discussing the plight of the Soltari and Lyna's interest in the portal.<sup id="cite_ref-Duelist5_8-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Duelist5-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>On the <i>Weatherlight</i>, Crovax feels Selenia en route to the stronghold.

After fighting the fires of the Furnace, they travel to the Death Pits and are boarded by monsters called carrionettes. With the blessing of Orim, the Samite healer, Gerrard destroys them and escapes below deck, but not before saving Squee from carrionette reinforcements.

Shadow is an ability on white, black and blue creatures that restricted those creatures to blocking or being blocked by other creatures with the shadow trait. </p><p>The Rath Cycle introduced several new creature types, notably Slivers, Spikes, and Licids. Slivers share their abilities with other Slivers in play, continue into <i>Stronghold</i>, and are absent from Exodus. They later made appearances in <i><a href="/wiki/Legions_(Magic:_The_Gathering)" class="mw-redirect" title="Legions (Magic: The Gathering)">Legions</a></i>, <i><a href="/wiki/Scourge_(Magic:_The_Gathering)" class="mw-redirect" title="Scourge (Magic: The Gathering)">Scourge</a></i>, <i><a href="/wiki/Time_Spiral_(Magic:_The_Gathering)" class="mw-redirect" title="Time Spiral (Magic: The Gathering)">Time Spiral</a></i>, <i><a href="/wiki/Planar_Chaos_(Magic:_The_Gathering)" class="mw-redirect" title="Planar Chaos (Magic: The Gathering)">Planar Chaos</a></i>, <i><a href="/wiki/Future_Sight" class="mw-redirect" title="Future Sight">Future Sight</a></i>, <i><a href="/wiki/Magic_2014" class="mw-redirect" title="Magic 2014">Magic 2014</a></i>, and <i><a href="/wiki/Magic_2015" class="mw-redirect" title="Magic 2015">Magic 2015</a></i>. Licids have the ability to become creature enchantments. Tempest and Stronghold each received five uncommon licids, one for each color, while Exodus received only one uncommon colorless licid and one rare blue licid. They have never been seen since then. Spikes are 0/0 creatures that came into play with a number of +1/+1 counters, and could move these counters off of themselves and onto other creatures. Only one Spike was printed in Tempest; the rest were split evenly between Stronghold and Exodus. Like Slivers, Spikes returned in Time Spiral. The en-Kor were not a creature type, but were united by their ability to freely redistribute damage from themselves to other creatures. A deck full of en-Kor and creatures with protection from black and protection from red placed in the top 8 at the 1998 World Championships.<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources.
