...And thus Trostani  was formed. This was a pretty good read.

The story this week was well-paced, it had a clear conflict established and then solved, and it explains both an important part of the storyline as well as the origin of a single card. This is what Uncharted Realms is supposed to be.
If I have a criticism, it's that I wish we saw more characterization from the three dryads pre-Trostani; we didn't see enough from the dryads as individuals to feel the weight of that individuality disappearing. However, the story is still well-delivered and easily one of the best from Uncharted Realms so far.

Isn't anyone else sick of the Selesnya by now? They are boring and we have to keep reading about them, I wish there'd be more focus on the other guilds, especially Izzet and Golgari.

Okay, here is the clincher. I've been waiting to say this.
The "cam girl" this was inspired by was just a girl from a social networking website, Stickam. Her name was TinyTerror and she was just a regular girl who was on her webcam, totally unrelated to any type of adult content.
I hope you all feel really smart now. 
This is like someone coming into class with a bloody nose and everyone's like "Jeez what happened to you" and they're like "I ran into a wall" and everyone laughs at them for being an idiot but then at the end of the class they say "HAHA JUST KIDDING I PUNCHED MYSELF IN THE FACE!!!!!! TALK ABOUT OWNED HAHAHAHAHA"
I really enjoy imagining this from Kevin's perspective. Because in Kevin's world, Rosewater actually reads everything he types. Mark is sitting there right now, reading this, and thinking "The greatest trick the devil ever pulled. . ." Or some such. He chuckles low, then clicks on "The Best Of KEVINSET" and says "Yes, this'll do just fine. A busty lady with banding who deals direct damage to Zones!? Why this will be the star of my next set, and no one will ever believe you Kevin." Then he closes his Macbook, so his servant may move it out of the way, while another servant puts a Fetal Richard Garfield Clone lathered in Steak Sauce in front of him. Then Mark Feasts.
Sorin walked into the chamber where his newly wed bride, Vampy, awaited. A beam of moonlight illuminated his brilliant silver hair as he strode with confidence towards the bed. His shirtless body showcased his powerful abdominal muscles and he was wearing jeans with holes in the knees.
I wish more girls play magic cards...
Have you considered assassinating Kevin?

Though I agree with your criticism in a vacuum, within the context of this website there really isn't a choice. There is a word limit for articles so the writer has a lot of constraints to work with. I would've loved for his story to be longer and explain more about those dryads, but alas, the story couldn't be any longer.
For me, I just want to thank the author for a good read. Thank you.

Suniel should have gotten a proper description when he was introduced. For the entire council chamber scene I thought he was female.
Other than that, good read and relevant to the overarching storyline too. Better than I expected from a guest author.

I thought this was a very good uncharted realms, not only in its quality, but at what it hinted at. Izzet vs. selenya, or possibly nico bolas, yet that is less likily.
