* JerkassGods: In true [[ClassicalMythology greek mythology]] fashion, Theros gods are dickish. Even the most reasonable ones, like Thassa and Kruphix, are driven to petty extremes (respectively, careless destruction in her war against Kiora and [[spoiler:seeking to solve the god war by [[TooDumbToLive cutting off contact between gods and mortals, leading to further damage]], as well as lobotomising Purphoros]]). Only Nylea comes across as generally reasonable and benevolent.

The Planeswalker Elspeth Tirel has once journeyed to the [[ClassicalMythology hellenic-esque]] plane of Theros, acquiring a mystical sword that fell from the heavens during the battle between the gods [[RebelliousSpirit Purphoros]] and [[ThePowerOfTheSun Heliod]]. Having failed to save the plane of Mirrodin from Phyrexia's grasp, she returned to Theros, seeking the peace and solace she longed after.

However, another Planeswalker, the bitter, disilusioned satyr known as Xenagos, has also returned to Theros, and seeks in motion a plan that threatens the rest of the plane, and incites the paranoia of Heliod. First seeing Elspeth as a threat to be destroyed, the god realises the potential she has as his minion, and reshapes her sword into a spear, named [[TitleDrop Godsend]]. It is now up to her to destroy Xenagos and save Theros.
