Zhalfir was the warrior nation, based mainly on red. Femeref was mainly white, and featured clerics and healers, while the seafaring traders of Suq'Ata were mostly blue. Mirage concerned these three nations and their struggle against the evil wizard Kaervek. Kaervek has imprisoned the powerful wizard and diplomat Mangara in an amber prison and the bulk of the story details the Jamuraans attempting to free Mangara. In addition to these events the <a href="/wiki/Planeswalker" class="mw-redirect" title="Planeswalker">planeswalker</a> Teferi has caused his island to disappear from existence for almost 200 years. It is the phasing of the entire island that led Kaervek and Mangara to Jamuraa in the first place. </p><p>By the time of <i>Visions</i>, Femeref has been destroyed and Suq'Ata and Zhalfir begin to have internal problems as well. There is hope, however, when Kaervek's ally Jolrael betrays him at the urging of the <a href="/wiki/Planeswalker" class="mw-redirect" title="Planeswalker">planeswalker</a> Teferi. Jamuraa's leaders, led by Jolrael's visions, free Mangara from the amber prison and begin to fight against Kaervek. </p><p>The storyline of <i>Weatherlight</i> is closely tied to the Weatherlight Saga. The story introduces the Weatherlight and her crew, who travel the planes of the multiverse in search of ancient artifacts known collectively as the Legacy. The captain of the ship, Sisay, is abducted to the shadowy world of Rath. Her old friend and crewmate, a former soldier named Gerrard, is pressed into taking command of the ship to rescue her. The story is continued in <i>Magic'</i>s <i>Tempest</i> set. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Weatherlight_Saga">Weatherlight Saga</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Mirage_(Magic:_The_Gathering)&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Weatherlight Saga"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The <i>Weatherlight</i> set was accompanied by a series of fictional works collectively known as the Weatherlight Saga. The saga was intended to be a "<a href="/wiki/Hero%27s_journey" title="Hero's journey">hero's journey</a>"-style story, in which the characters were classic archetypes. Each was also assigned to represent a color in <i>Magic'</i>s color wheel, so that the narrative and mechanical elements of the project would be more closely joined. </p><p>Then-developer Mark Rosewater chose the skyship Weatherlight and its captain, Sisay, as the germ of the new story. Rosewater has stated that making the story about a ship allowed for narrative flexibility in setting. After developing story and character ideas with Michael Ryan, Rosewater pitched the Saga idea to his bosses. The Saga was heavily referenced in the flavor text and card names of the set. </p><p><i>Weatherlight</i> marks a turning point in design and marketing philosophy for the <i>Magic</i> game and brand. While previous sets included allusions to an overarching story, <i>Weatherlight</i> was the first set to explicitly tell an ordered narrative focused on developed, archetypical characters.<sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Weatherlight marks the first use of a metaplot tied to a <i>Magic</i> set. The first novel, <i>Rath and Storm</i>, covers events shown in the <i>Weatherlight</i> set, while later novels tell stories for later game sets. It is referenced in sets until <i>Apocalypse</i>, although the aftermath of Saga events continued to be explored thereafter. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Set_history">Set history</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Mirage_(Magic:_The_Gathering)&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Set history"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Mirage">Mirage</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Mirage_(Magic:_The_Gathering)&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Mirage"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Like <a href="/wiki/Ice_Age_(Magic:_The_Gathering)" title="Ice Age (Magic: The Gathering)"><i>Ice Age</i></a>, <i>Mirage</i> began as a set of modifications to Alpha by a group of <a href="/wiki/Richard_Garfield" title="Richard Garfield">Richard Garfield</a>'s playtesters in winter 1992.
