* ''Uncharted Realms'' gives us the brief tale of the child Maeli in ''Shadows Over Innistrad'' and ''Eldritch Moon''. The boy ran from home and was soon sought and brought back personally by Avacyn herself, before the angel descends into madness. Weeks pass, and soon insane angels are set upon his home, his fearful mother ushering him to run into the forest as blood-stained wings descend. He, in his running, soon comes upon a kindly old woman. She gives him a stuffed bunny, invites him to live with her for as long as he likes. This being [[GothicHorror Innistrad]], the [[WickedWitch warning signs]] are there, and sure enough, disaster happens, just not how it ''would'' occur without Nahiri's [[spoiler: and Emrakul's]] influence on the realm. One night, he sets to dinner with her, and with his first slurp of soup... the old woman's chest suddenly bursts open into a mass of writhing limbs and the now monstrous woman gives chase to the terrified child in a mad frenzy. He runs and runs until he somehow, still carrying that bunny, makes it to a squad of Cathars, all the while praying for Avacyn to protect him... and then, to [[BreakTheCutie crush the boy]], a mad angel descends, not to protect him, but to declare to his face that Innistrad's protector is dead, and now there is only [[spoiler: Emrakul]]. Then, the blade comes down, all the while he begs and prays in his mind.

** [[http://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/magic-story/promises-old-and-new-2016-04-13 Promises New and Old]] gives some insight on why Nahiri's friendship with Sorin fell apart. The first time the Eldrazi escaped, Nahiri was forced to reseal the Eldrazi on her own since Ugin and Sorin didn't respond to her call for help. When she finds Sorin, she is overjoyed and almost speechless when she sees that he's alive, believing him to be dead since he didn't come to her aid on Zendikar. Sorin however brushes her off and makes the truth painfully clear to her- he didn't bother to help her or Zendikar since he had more concern for his own home plane, Innistrad. To twist the knife yet further, Sorin tells Nahiri to go bother Ugin instead and implies that he could easily have killed her when her spark ignited. This understandably breaks Nahiri's heart and sets her on the road that leads to her lashing out on her old mentor in Shadows Over Innistrad.

** Kytheon is sent by the sun god to slay a titan of Erebos that is running rampage. He and his [[TrueCompanions Irregulars]] set out to meet the titan and conquer it... just in time for Erebos himself to show up. Filled with arrogance, Kytheon throws his sun-blessed spear at the God, and Erebos casually redirects it back at him. Kytheon calls upon his magic to protect him, but the clash of powers instead releases a shockwave that strikes down all his friends.

It opens with Jace doing a mind-dive on his companion, Jori En, and reliving her memories of watching her friend - the only person who understood the way the [[AncientArtifact Hedrons]] worked firmly enough to save Zendikar - die. Jace realises he's got to go to the Eye of Ugin to find the answers he needs, but Gideon refuses to help, insisting [[HonorBeforeReason that the people of Sea Gate are more important]]. Jori En and Jace set out alone, only to be waylaid by a group of Kor who've given up hope and started worshiping Ulamog. They escape, only to discover Ulamog is working its way towards Sea Gate. Jace insists Jori En return to Sea Gate to warn them, but Jori En refuses - whereupon Jace [[MindManipulation breaks out his powers]].

* Dominaria as of Time Spiral. [[spoiler: The entire plane has been ravaged by war and destruction, from the fall of the Thran to the Brothers' War to the Golgothian Sylex activation and subsequent Ice Age to the Phyrexian Invasion to the Mirari/Karona incidents. All of its most powerful heroes such as Urza, Freyalise, Lord Windgrace, Bo Levar, etc., have been dead for centuries or died trying to close the time rifts. Once flourishing societies like Benalia, Amrou and Zhalfir have been ravaged by the ensuing wars or abandoned/lost to time chaos. Slivers have been running rampant throughout the plane for decades and Phyrexian remnants still wander the land trying to win a war long over. On top of all of that, with the time rifts in full swing, random people and creatures are being ripped from their current place in time and dropped into Dominaria, where they either wreak havoc, have no clue where they are, or DO know where they are and just wonder what the hell happened to home. Just imagine what it must be like for people still surviving there, especially the people that have been alive for multiple wars.]]

After accidentally attracting a giant mer-eating serpent with her younger sister, Turi, Kiora desperately led the monster away from Turi, who turned around just in time to see her idolized older sister [[SwallowedWhole eaten alive]]. The trauma of that event ignited Kiora's spark, and she wandered the Multiverse for months before finding her way back. In all that time, both sisters deeply believed to have completely failed the other, and by the time of Kiora's return, Turi had sunk deep into [[SurvivorsGuilt depression]], wasting away almost completely.

* Tarkir's storyline is pretty much one hell of a sad ride. Throught the ''Khans of Tarkir'' uncharted realms we're offered a distinctive, rich world with several complex characters (aside from the [[AlwaysChaoticEvil Sultai]]), albeit dying slowly. Sarkhan goes back in time, and we're given a glimmer of hope for Tarkir's problems to be ammended... only to end up with a ''far'' worse present, where dragons tyrannise the plane and destroyed everything the clans held dear, like a particularly twisted IronicHell:
** The Abzan are in the new timeline ruled by draconic fascists who, while nicer than other dragons, still impose their morality with an iron fist and kill anyone who dares to worship their ancestors. They ''literally take babies away from their parents'', and while relatively merciful still operate on a [[TheSocialDarwinist social darwinist]] level, with Dromoka herself eating the "weak links".

** While the most warmongering clan, the Mardu were still reasonably honourable and valued altruism. In the new timeline, they have been degraded into murderous, cannibalistic savages that are pretty much Kolaghan's punching bags.
** The Temur were pretty much forced to become Atarka's personal waiters, always serving her at all times lest they become her next meal ([[ForTheEvulz and she pretty much revels in this]], starving them and forcing them to hold her praises to remind them of their situation). As if that wasn't enough, she [[{{Pun}} ate away]] all that they held dear, from their shamanic culture to their notion of family.

* [[CosmicPlaything Elspeth's]] entire life is one TearJerker after another. She grew up on a plane ruled by Phyrexians, which is the height of NightmareFuel in of itself. She awakened her spark and escaped when she was thirteen, and for several years travelled the multiverse ([[spoiler: including finding her sword on Theros.]]). Then she came to Bant, and made it her home, becoming a knight and finding the comradeship and friends she dearly missed. But then the Conflux happened and her world fell apart around her, leaving her practically broken as Grixis invaded.
** After that, she wandered again, and when Ajani found her in the arenas of Urborg, she refused to return to Bant because she felt she was unworthy of being a knight.
** On Mirrodin, she is forced to watch the resistance fail and New Phyrexia rise despite her best efforts.
** On Theros, she manages to become a hero by slaying the hydra Polukranos and then breaking the siege of Akros. [[spoiler: It seems as though her misery is finally over when she and Daxos fall in love and she is a hero, but then Xenagos brings it all crashing down. First, he uses mind control to trick Elspeth into murdering Daxos, and then she becomes a scapegoat after he ascends into godhood. Blamed by all of Theros, Elspeth struggles on with Ajani's help and finally confronts Xenagos, slaying him with the Godsend.]]
** [[spoiler: To even reach Xenagos, she undertook the Ordeal of Erebos, which consisted of a LotusEaterMachine where she was married and had children on Bant. And she had to reject this illusion to advance. As a reward for this, she gained access to Nyx but also one request of Erebos. After slaying Xenagos, she asks to trade her life for Daxos'. But then Heliod enters, disarming her with ease, taunting her and then killing her with the Godsend out of sheer spite and jealousy.]]
* [[spoiler: Daxos' ultimate fate is just heartbreaking. Erebos does as Elspeth requests, but he revives Daxos as a Returned who wanders endlessly in search of Elspeth, who by this point is condemned to the underworld.]]
