Does 7th have a storyline???

[Cateran Emperor]

If you haven't seen the cards yet, come back after seeing them tomorrow.

There seem to be an INSANE number of quotes from the following guys:

Black:
The Eastern Paladin
The Western Paladin

White:
The Northern Paladin
The Southern Paladin

Blue:
The Lord of Atlantis

Green:
The Elvish Champion

Red:
-

Did anyone else notice that all of them say "THE -", implying there's only one of them. What's even more interesting is that there are quotes on all the Paladins are descriptions given by one of the enemy Paladins.

Is there a storyline behind the base set? If so, it looks to be interesting.

On a side note, the Paladins are also in the art of a HUGE number of staple cards in the set (Western is on Duress, Northern is on Disenchant), and many of the non-staples as well. The Lord and the Champion aren't as common, but they are around.

Finally, if you want more proof, compare the art and text of the following cards:

Infernal Contract - Glorious Anthem

Describe them for everyone who hasn't seen them, and tell me what you think. I'm currently compiling a list of such correlations.

So are you saying that there's new flavor text on the cards? That not only did WOTC redo the art, they redid the flavor text?

yeah, i bought the black pcd(store got seventh in early), and in about every freakin' card there is a picture of the western paladin
quote on greed:
an advisor once asked the western paladin how much gold would be enough. " I have no need of fools who can imagine enough," he said to the advisor's corpse

 

[Cateran Emperor]

Yep, all new flavor text too (all of its a lot better too) a few examples of prevalent Paladins:

W. Paladin
Duress
Corrupt
Greed

E. Paladin
Nocturnal Raid
Persecute
Ostracize

Well, got me. Maybe someone knows for certain...

Does anyone think that a storyline for 7th would result in a novel? I mean, has there been any talk of a novel?
