Faction Play Style
The Shimmersea Fae playstyle captures the essence of the waters from which they have come, as they seek to invade the opponent's side of the battlefield in a slow and unstoppable push of power, featuring both units and events that incentivize and enable encroaching on the enemy across the center line of the battlefield, much like an ocean tide coming in to shore. The faction's summoner strikes a balance between healing and damage, keeping strategic options always open and many of their cards enable both card draw and returning cards to hand, balancing their might with a capable economy.

Faction Background
To call the Fae who haunt the Shimmersea “ill tempered” is to underscore the unpredictable malice they inflicted upon Itharia for centuries. Rewards of riches were paid to those explorers able to chart trade routes efficiently circumventing the Shimmersea, for ships that passed through tended to vanish with finality. To air-breathers these territorial displays were both frightening and seemingly unnecessary. To the Fae however, few things were more jarring than looking overhead at the ugly behemoths of wood that passed above, casting shadows down on their otherwise resplendent realm, soiling it in the name of enterprise or war. When the Shimmersea Battle of 1632 B.S. took place, the horrified Fae watched angrily as the Above littered their paradise with ever-burning tar, wreckage, and thousands of bleeding corpses. To the Fae, the Above is an otherworldly hell, a plane of terror that leaks through the portal that is the ocean’s surface. When Nymira Shoalsong discovered her summoning stone, she knew at last her people had the means to seal the portal to the Above, once and for all, though it would require one great crusade, deep into the heart of evil.
