Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Thran is the story of the Precursors of Dominaria, the original setting of Magic: The Gathering. The novel focuses on the conflict between Yawgmoth, the future founder and "god" of Phyrexia, and Glacian, the Genius of Halcyon. Caught in between them is Glacian's wife Rebbec (who may or may not be the spirit of Gaea in today's Dominaria). It provides a great deal of exposition about the Thran Empire and other civilizations that shared the plane with it during ancient times.If you've read any part of the story surrounding Urza and his accompanying blocks in the game, you know that this does not end well.

Balance Between Good and Evil

Balance Between Good and Evil: Played with. Gix argues to Glacian that his precious Shining City will always have an equal dark shadow in the form of the Caves of the Damned. When Glacian enthusiastically declares that powerstones can be used to create whole new worlds without taking up any space, Yawgmoth darkly retorts that they can also be used to annihilate entire cities from existence with the same process.

And Man Grew Proud: The Thran's blind pursuit of progress and lack of ethics destroyed the Empire as much as Yawgmoth did.

Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence: Yawgmoth thinks that the Thran are destined for godhood, and that conflict and destruction are the gateway to this. Rebbec seems to be aiming for this with all her talk of "ascending to the heavens", but when Yawgmoth begins to talk seriously about offering her godhood, she says that she only means that they should become better people who reflect the divine, not actual gods.
