When Dorothy Gale clicked her heels, she had no idea what she was leaving behind...

Before her now legendary arrival in Oz, a delicate balance of power existed between the Four Witches, keeping order throughout the land. But with Dorothy's destruction of the Witches East and West, this balance was lost, and a great war erupted between North and South. After seventy savage years, it was the North to emerge victorious in battle, ruling over a now scarred and darkened land.

Glinda, Witch of the North, was quickly consumed by her unchallenged power. Laws were defiled, revenge was taken upon the disloyal, and the Emerald City was left to decay, an empty husk of its former glory.

Armed with knowledge, understanding and strength, the Scarecrow, Tin Man, and Lion formed an alliance with The Flying Monkeys. Together, they waged a desperate and valiant uprising to take back Oz from the despotic Glinda.

But it was to fail.

And the price for that failure, was a savage reminder to all who would dare question Glinda's new order. The Scarecrow, Tin Man, and Lion were thus hanged from the gates of the Emerald City. A gruesome lesson, upon whom all future heretics were to gaze.

Welcome to the Annihilation of Oz.
