Geralf is an expert skaberen or "stitcher" , an alchemist who forms artificial life from body parts, magic, and metal. He is the creator of the zombie Grimgrin, so named to honor his rival and dear sister, Gisa. Valuing Thraben safety over all else, Thalia led her finest soldiers to defend the Helvault from Liliana Vess. In the end, when forced to save either the Helvault or her warriors, Thalia chose her men. The Helvault then split asunder, releasing every bound demons, as well as Avacyn, the archangel.
Even the approach of Emrakul pressed on the minds of Innistrad's inhabitants, straining their sanity, and her full manifestation amplified the effect. Upon her arrival, she began warping the creatures of Innistrad in her own monstrous image. Hanweir had once been the breadbasket of Gavony, but its fields became black and blighted. Their citizens united, and Hanweir stood as one against the horror of a world gone mad. As Emrakul drifted over Innistrad, flesh melted and twisted as the doomed of Hanweir screamed in agony.
Soldier and peasant, shopkeeper and council elder—they all fused together, body and soul, into one writhing, protoplasmic mass. As one, every part of Hanweir became a single incomprehensible entity, a part of the world's madness. Gisela and Bruna, the two archangels who joined Avacyn in her madness, fused together into a huge Eldrazi monstrosity with two heads, four wings, and a tangled mass of limbs resembling the tentacles of Emrakul herself.
Together, they were known as "Brisela, Voice of Nightmares. At the heart of Gavony is Thraben, safe haven for those in need of healing and a respite from Innistrad's dark forces. The human residents here either work to ensure the safety of their village or join the Avacyn church to become cathars, who travel the providences protecting humanity from danger.
The thick Ulvenwald Forest isolates these quaint villages from neighboring provinces. Between the isolation and constant danger, most townsfolk here are wary of outsiders. In Stensia's higher altitude, the rocky soil rules out farming. Instead, humans become shepherds and raise large families. A superstitious people content to survive day to day, the Stensia mentally ignore the fact that every passageway out of Stensia is constantly monitored by the vampire families.
The coastal cities of Nephalia draw many merchants. They also attract ghoulcallers and skaberen, who practice their craft away from prying neighbors or the church. While not as populated as Thraben, Nephalia's cities are denser, filled with those who, for one reason or another, prefer anonymity.
Stensia is controlled by four major vampire families: Markov, Voldaren, Falkenrath, and Stromkirk. Though their abilities may differ, they all have enhanced strength, eternal youth, the ability to dampen noise, and prominent canines—often the last terrifying image seen by many an unwary traveler.
Werewolves are created in moments of intense despair, when a human's soul becomes intertwined with the wild essence of nature—after which, both sides are locked in a struggle for control. With the archangel Avacyn's release, werewolves have now become wolfir, permanent wolf protectors of humanity. Unhallowed are zombies that ghoulcallers harvest from the many fengrafs, seagrafs, or diregrafs around Innistrad. Skaabs are twisted, pieced-together corpses that the skaberen have reanimated through necroalchemy.
Both are vile desecrations of the Blessed Sleep expected by humans when they die. Geists are spirits of those who have passed, yet cannot find peace in the Blessed Sleep.
Some are guardians, but most remain out of malice, revenge, and regret. Able to exist as corporeal and incorporeal beings, geists will seek vengeance or wander until the Church of Avacyn guides them to rest.
When Avacyn returned, so did her angels, who had gone off searching for their leader. Flight Goldnight protects the churches and towns with wards; Flight Alabaster maintains the fighting force and trains the cathars; and Flight of Herons scours the land for danger or growing threats. As joyous as Avacyn's release from the Helvault was, it also meant the release of every single twisted demon that Avacyn had ever trapped. Power may be returning to the Church of Avacyn, but old demons are planning new heights of vulgar depravity and carnage to unleash upon humanity.
Excluding Nicol Bolas, this vampire is older than all the other Planeswalkers combined. She wields the blackest of magic: necromancy. This beast summoner was cursed by fellow planewalker Liliana Vess, tainting his green spells with black.
A member of the secretive moonfolk, Tamiyo is driven to understand the Multiverse. She believes every plane holds a mystery, and she eagerly seeks to understand them all.
Lacking talent and discipline as a necromancy student, Tibalt was consumed with hatred, isolation, and failure. Now half devil, his pain is his power. Dack Fayden is the self-proclaimed "greatest thief in the Multiverse. On Innistrad, every creature hides a darker aspect. Hedonistic vampires stalk the shadows to quench their thirst, and the full moon transforms the simple into the savage. Vampires, werewolves, and zombies plague Innistrad. Forces of good valiantly fight to hold back the threat, but in this world of dark magic, only the most powerful will survive.
The archangel Avacyn has returned! On the plane of Innistrad, humanity is beset on all sides. Horrors stalk in the shadows. Terrors scratch at doors in the night. Only grim determination and staunch faith in their guardian archangel, Avacyn, keep them alive in this nightmarish realm. But odd things are afoot: the forces that had protected them have been twisted into something dark and strange.
The last protections over Innistrad have faded. Ancient powers reach forth to corrupt the plane, and now Innistrad's fate rests in the hands of unlikely allies Kraum, Ludevic's Opus.
