Shattered Goddess Return
We watched you for eons - waiting, dreaming of the day we might meet. It wasn´t supposed to be like this. Pieces of us hurtled toward your embrace along with something else - the Darkness. We were broken, unwhole, unworthy of your servants' kindness. But to see them broken too, they do not deserve this. We do not wish to fight, but we will do what we must. There is still hope left in the Realm. And so I am here, so no more will be broken.
For eons, Io watched over the Realm from the moon, hoping, dreaming of the day she could meet those in the Realm. Until an otherwordly force shattered her, sending pieces of the moon plummeting to the Realm below. Where these shards landed, they killed all that they touched, turning the once lush environment into the Shattered Desert. The people who were left built a new city - the city of Bazaar. The people of Bazaar worship Io and care for the shard that contained her. However, a group from the Magistrate under the leadership of Corvus arrived. They had come to the Shattered Desert for the shards of the moon, hoping to utilize the power within to end the war with the Resistance. The villagers were no match for the Magistrate, and the city was the victim of an intense battle between the Resistance and Magistrate.
Now, the Shattered Goddess returns to the Realm and joins the battle. Io gravely injures Corvus in this battle, as seen in her Protectors card.

Come closer, child. It’s time you learned the story of the Shattered Moon 
Once your Realm was united and the Shattered Desert does not exist 
For eons, Io watched us. Loved us. And we basked in the glow of her 
But then disaster struck. And the Darkness smothered our goddess's light 
Our town was destroyed and the Shattered Desert formed. But we rebuild your home and the Bazaar accrued 
In the centuries since the shattering, our goddess has hidden in shadows. Her fox our constant companion through her long, long absence 
We’ve honored our goddess. Protected the pieces of her that fell here. But now, they’ve come for her. The Magistrate 
We pray, child, that the Shattered Goddess still watches over us. We have faith that she will return. That Io will be whole, once again
