==History==
Before the Phyrexian invasion of Eldraine, Talion and their High Fae court returned from a long journey to the edge of the plane. They were forced to join with the witch sisters Agatha, Eriette, and Hylda to create the Wicked Slumber, a curse which now affects their whole world, including Talion's daughter, Obyra. In exchange for helping to cast the Slumber, Talion provided each of the witches with a magical artifact that enhanced their powers: Agatha's Soul Cauldron, <c>Eriette's Tempting Apple</c>, and <c>Hylda's Crown of Winter</c>. After Eriette extended the curse to Eldraine's citizens, they tasked the knight Imodane to kill the three witches. When she was caught by Agatha, Talion handed the task to the half-fae Kellan, promising him information about his fae father. Kellan eventually succeeded in the quest, though he declined his reward.
