Eladamri

 Lyna Multani

Character

 Character Character
You may redirect to yourself any amount of damage dealt to creatures you control. All creatures you control gain shadow. (Those creatures can block and be blocked only by creatures with shadow.) All creatures you control get +X/+0, where X is the number of cards in your hand.
Starting & Max. Hand Size 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. Starting Life Starting & Max. Hand Size 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. Starting Life Starting & Max. Hand Size 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. Starting Life

Oracle

 Rofellos Sidar Kondo

Character

 Character Character
You may untap any attacking creatures you control and remove them from combat. Whenever a creature you control is put into a graveyard from play, draw a card. 3: Target creature gets +3/+3 until end of turn.
Starting & Max. Hand Size Known simply by her title, Oracle uses her gift of prophecy to aid her people. She believes Gerrard to be the Korvecdal, 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. Starting Life Starting & Max. Hand Size 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. Starting Life Starting & Max. Hand Size 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. Starting Life

Sliver Queen, Brood Mother

 Takara

Character

 Character
3: Put a Sliver token into play. Treat this token as a 1/1 colorless creature. Sacrifice a creature: Takara deals 1 damage to target creature or player.
Starting & Max. Hand Size 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. Starting Life Starting & Max. Hand Size 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. Starting Life
