    Formerly known as Jericho Kill of Abylon, usuallyJericho isolated,Whitepetal Legendaryis the winner of the first Collection of Ashes. She appeared in the now-retired legacy deck, The Path of Assassins, and was later released as the first Phoenixborn in the Time cycle, Jericho Reborn, with the new deck The Breaker of Fate.

    History

    Jericho was born into slavery, and trained in violence at a young age. Directed by her mother, she killed all of the Pirate Kings in Abylon. Some time later, she killed the Last Dragon. Her path of killing lead to her ruling over Abylon as The Assassin Queen, using its people as weapons.

    She was the eventual winner of the first Collection of Ashes, rising to godhood with the re-unification of the Phoenix's powers. However, there, she learned of the feeling of guilt, and destroyed the Phoenix, fracturing time with her actions. This change in the timeline has caused most of the Phoenixborn to be returned to life as though they had never died, but some were not revived, and not all of the timeline was reset.

    No one in Argaia remembers her as Jericho Kill now, except The Final Pythia. Her monikers also now include "of the Forfeited Throne," but she remains an isolated Phoenixborn.

    Prior to the Red Rains, but after the Collection had started, she was seen venturing to Gorrenrock and nearby New Gobi. This stands out as strange as she has rarely left her home since rebirth, and also that it was peaceful.

    She was also conspicuous in her absence as Rowan Umberend was conducting his research on the Chimera and Red Rains beneath Abylon.

    Conjurations

    Jericho's two conjurations evoke imagery of speed - the slow Turtle Guard, and the faster Time Hopper.

    Official texts

    Born in bonds, nursed on hatred, honed to kill. Like an assassin's arrow, from her mother's bow, Jericho flew. She stalked and killed each of her mother's slavers, and when the last Pirate King fell, she despaired. Today, Jericho Kill sits on the throne of Abylon. She has now become the wielder, and her people are her weapons.

    Once she was known as Jericho Kill.Kill. Warlord. Assassin. Monster. But upon ascending the throne of God, Jericho was crushed with a feeling altogether alien to her - guilt. Reeling from the horrors she had caused, Jericho wielded her new power and tore asunder the heart of the Phoenix. Time has been broken and reset, and Jericho cast from the realms beyond. Can she change all that she previously wrought, or will she succumb to madness once more?

    Jericho, more than most of her divine siblings, shows great reluctance to engage in battle. Indeed, she recently passed through Gorrenrock without incident, and last I heard she had spent a few days with the people of New Gobi. These wanderings are unusual for her, Whitepetal has rarely left her home since the Great Cleansing.
