Editing Elspeth Tirel (section)

==Phyrexia Rises==
Elspeth traveled to Urborg on [[Dominaria]], where she spend her time in gladiatorial pits. Her old friend Ajani found her here, and tried to convince her that her talents were being wasted. She ignored him but accepted his gift: her armor and sword that she had left on Alara. During one of her fights she encountered a gladiator that bore the insignia of Phyrexia on his arm. The man, [[Koth of the Hammer]], revealed he was from a [[Mirrodin]], and the plane was under attack by Phyrexia. After recruiting her, they visited [[Venser]] whom Koth enlisted to the cause by less than friendly manners.

After a group of Nim attacked, Elspeth's mind was overtaken by visions of her past and she could not travel further. She sought refuge with a Vulshok [[shaman]], who slapped some sense into her and essentially told her to grow a pair. She did just in time: Venser and Koth had been captured by the Phyrexians, and she freed them. The trio followed a Myr that led them into the Vault of Whispers, which in turn led them to Geth. He led the three into the world where they were ambushed by Phyrexians. The trio escaped and pressed on, encountering a group of Mirran rebels. They refused to let the planeswalkers go on, until Elspeth threatened their leader. Continuing their trek, they eventually ran into [[Tezzeret]]. The artificer [[Just as planned|was the one who sent the Myr to lead them into the Vault in the first place]] and tried to lead them into another trap in a surgery room. The trio was victorious once again and freed a Mirran woman named Melira, who was born without any metal being part of her body, making her immune to Phyrexia's corruption.

Bringing the woman to the rebels, Melira displayed the ability to cure those infected by Phyresis. While at the camp Tezzeret's forces attacked, and Melira went with the three Planeswalkers. After an attack Koth grew frustrated at the lack of progress and took Melira with him. Elspeth and Venser were overcome by a second attack, but not until Elspeth [[Rip and tear|caused severe losses to the Phyrexians]]. Koth and Melira covertly freed the pair and lured Tezzeret's forces into battle with those of Glissa Sunseeker, while the rest snuck off towards their goal: the throne room.

Here they found [[Karn]], who was nearly completely corrupted by the Phyrexian Oil. Melira's powers combined with Venser's spark purified Karn and brought him back to his feet, though Venser died in the process. Teaming up with Elspeth, Koth and Melira, the four set out to cure Mirrodin.

...And failed. Karn forced her to planeswalk away to [[Theros]], a plane from which she stole a sword, where she decided to settle down and live normal life.

...And failed because she killed a marauding hydra which led to the local Sun God, [[Heliod]] taking an interest in her. No, not in [[Rule 34|the way you're thinking]], although that actually would have made some sense since Heliod is basically a mashup of Zeus and Apollo. And did you notice that those ''Theriad'' quotes from throughout the block suggest that the Sun's Champion is always a woman?

Elspeth then saved the plane from a native planeswalker who had recently elevated himself to godhood, by killing said recently-elevated god. Soon after, she was killed by Heliod, who saw her as a threat. He also hated her and was jealous of how awesome she was.
