Arion Lord of Atlantis 1982 - Newsstand #7

Arion #7: "Citadel of Sorcery!"

This issue marks a significant escalation in Arion’s struggle against his brother’s influence and the dark forces threatening the ancient world.

The Storyline

• The Conflict: Arion, accompanied by Lady Chian, Wyynde, and Mara, finally reaches a location that tests the limits of his white magic. As the title suggests, they face the Citadel of Sorcery, a fortress designed to trap and neutralize powerful mages.
• The Antagonist: While Garn Daanuth remains the overarching threat, this issue features S'Net, a formidable supernatural adversary who forces Arion into a battle of wills and mystical energy.
• Character Development: We see more of Mara’s emerging special abilities. In the early issues, she is often seen as a follower, but issue #7 begins to hint that she possesses her own unique magical potential, which becomes a major plot point later in the series.
