Whilst Dota 2‘s tale would possibly start with the Primordial Thoughts’s war with itself, the Dragon’s Blood tale starts 1000 years previously.
The main points are murky, referring to what precisely went down, however it was once right now {that a} perhaps mortal Selemene, on a venture to turn out to be the moon goddess, banished any elves that didn’t worship her from the Nightsilver Woods. That incorporated her lover, Invoker, and their daughter, Filomena (Genevieve Beardslee), who each nonetheless worshipped her predecessor, the goddess Mene. Although Invoker and Filomena head off to have a lifetime of their very own, Filomena is bothered with a bizarre, unexplained ailment. It may well best be fixed through returning to Selemene, however she calls for that either one of them worship her. Invoker kneels and provides in, however Filomena does not, so Selemene abandons her to die.
After Filomena’s demise, Invoker seeks vengeance. It is by no means mentioned explicitly, however it is implied that he fabricates the stories-slash-prophecies that the fans of Selemene and the elves of Coedwig (the descendents of the banished elves) imagine within the provide. Selemene’s fans imagine that the Satan of the Moon, AKA Invoker, desires to deliver in regards to the apocalypse, whilst the elves imagine that he wishes to use the lotuses to deliver again the goddess Mene. He tells Mirana that the reports are not true, however the sequence hints that he planted them after Filomena’s demise to lure the 2 teams to salary struggle. In any case, Selemene says of the reports, “Guarantees from fathers of failure turn out to be prophecy.”
However one thousand yr revenge plot? Truly? Smartly, Invoker is understood for having an unheard of reminiscence, so he hasn’t forgotten a unmarried second along with his daughter, thus retaining his thirst for vengeance alive for goodbye.
