Innistrad Artbook came in today, here are a few images that might not have been seen yet.
These were just quickly taken by phone, so I don't know if there's anything I missed, but I skipped over obvious existing spoilers, such as the legendary spider and stuff. They're also at terrible angles/lighting because I was going fast, but maybe someone can make better scans of them. Or, you know, you could go buy the book.
Please give us the Ospid Horror. They gave us the Gitorg Monster.
There was no image that I saw for it at a quick glance, and I only quickly skimmed though the story itself right now. We are missing a W/U spirit lord/legendary thing, so maybe? Except that Spirits tend to be helpful towards humans, and this does not appear to be.
Not Avacyn't words proving prophetic as I said they would! In a way I feel she was avenged. Still, I'm upset that one of my favorite characters has been killed.
Emrakul is the anomaly sensed by but not fully manifested in Innistrad. Which will become the case with Avacyn's departure now, I'm sure. I believe Avacyn's words will prove prophetic as well - Emrakul cannot be killed, so she will need to be sealed. Another Helvault, a section of silver from the moon, cannot be created. But the silver moon itself is still present. Planeswalkers are present, one of whom is a Gatewatch member. It's not unreasonable that Emrakul is sealed into Innistrad's silver moon. Or even that Nahiri will assist in doing it, even. Her revenge may not be to entirely destroy Innistrad, as she is still White and opposed to the Eldrazi destroying planes. Her revenge may be to change Innistrad and make Sorin feel the loss - by forcing him to end its guardian and his own daughter (evoking the loss of continents on Zendkiar) and finally sealing Emrakul there, which she lured away from her home - to forever haunt Sorin and the plane the way the Eldrazi always have on her own world, making them Sorin's problem now the way they were once hers.
Any information at all on Jenrik? I taught Tamiyo. I told her all my secrets! I gave her my moon charts! NOTHING?!
Howling Chorus is so creepy I hope its a good card so I can run 4.

The art of Dark Salvation btw. Damn Lilliana has the best art in this block hands down.
I would attribute that to her lovely new cape.

I flipped straight to the EMN section for new stuff that we haven't seen yet. I haven't had the time to go through all of it yet.
Thank you regardless. If there does end up being any information on him please let me know.
Just for you...
A quick flip through and I noticed two small mentions, mainly in Tamiyo's sections. Tamiyo doesn't even get much exposure in the book, and despite the book starting the story from original INN and covering a lot of backstory and worldbuilding, there's 0 mention of Tibalt at all. I'm not even sure I saw anything of Geralf and Gisa, though I wasn't looking.
Please post the Sorin/Nahiri final battle. I want to believe he's still alive...
I'm a bit tired, so I'll try and get to it tomorrow, if someone doesn't beat me to it. But yes, he's alive... technically. Nahiri seals him in stone, in such a way that he can't planeswalk out.

Thank you! I will say, at the end of that Tamiyo section, is it just me or does the phrase "the astronomancer's death launched Jace into his investigation" (more or less) make it sound like Jace ate up Jenrik's creative space in this block? Yikes. And I'm a Jace fan no less. Ugh - well it confirms Jenrik is dead and gone for good. No mention of him as a geist stifles (blue pun yeah yeah) that dream too.
Bleh. Time to get a new username and await return to Theros. Thanks Wizards. IDK who I angered at creative >_>;

I think all of us Innistrad fans apparently pissed Creative off. Or maybe they just hate us? But yeah, sorry brother. Other than Eldrazi fans I'm not sure who comes out happy with the story from this block. Most everyone is either dead, corrupted or ignored entirely. I mean, I got Arlinn, my new favorite walker, but she wasn't really there for much of anything. So.....do werewolf fans win by default of everyone else's return trip sucking worse? Geez, that sounded depressing.
Vorthos-player with way too much time on his hands and a love of thematic decks.
EDH - Yes, Each One is Named After a Song. I love tying music to my decks.

Not only did they kill three of my four favorite angels, they dragged two of my favorite planeswalkers (Sorin and Nahiri) through the dirt, and turned them both into complete ********s. *sigh* We'll get a proper Innistrad 2 someday. This block was just Eldrazi 2.
Edit: Jenrik, you do not want them to return to Theros. Or Tarkir. Or Ravnica. Or any plane you liked. They'll just ruin it.

Also uploading Emrakul's End in slightly more readable quality, for those that want it.

It is time to accept that for Wizards, he was just a little more than a flavor character #427;my friend.
Let this great clan rest in peace (2001-2011)
