Shadow of Israphel

The bulk of the Minecraft series is composed of a semi-improvised comedy drama, called Shadow of Israphel, where Lewis and Simon play the parts of Xephos, a heroic "Spaceman", and Honeydew, a Dwarf, respectively. The series is set in the fictional land of Minecraftia, where Xephos and Honeydew encounter a range of colourful characters, and, by virtue of their talent and skill (and arguably a succession of lucky flukes), become worshipped as mighty heroes by the citizens of the land. Although originally simply trying to survive and thrive in Minecraftia, Xephos and Honeydew quickly find themselves thrown into battle against an ancient evil, Israphel, and by Season 3, are engaged in a full-scale war against Israphel and his Cult.

Shadow of Israphel has been confirmed at i52 in 2014 by Turpster to return.

The Israphel Saga can be divided into three Seasons:

Season 1
Xephos and Honeydew arrive in the mysterious lands of Minecraftia; after an uncomfortable first night, the pair begin to establish a base, the Yogcave, and set about on a series of misadventures exploring and mining the lands around the Yogcave, even building a (non-functional) Hellgate. Shortly after they happen across a variety of strange, man-made structures, Xephos and Honeydew are attacked in the night by a shadowy figure by the name of Israphel; chasing him, they encounter the town of Terrorvale.

After arriving in Terrorvale, Xephos and Honeydew begin to perform tasks for the inhabitants of the town, Old Peculier, Daisy Duke and Reverend John. They soon find that Daisy has been kidnapped, and that Reverend John is an agent of an unnamed Dark Lord, assumed to be Israphel. Killing the Reverend, the two heroes then set out to save Daisy, aided by Old Peculier, and discover that Israphel has taken Daisy to a fortress he has built underneath Terrorvale. Xephos, Honeydew and Peculier fight their way through the fortress, defeating Creeper Boss and Zombie Boss, but Israphel flees with the captive Daisy before they can approach him. Giving chase, Xephos and Honeydew follow Israphel back to the Hellgate they built, but are unable to chase him through it because Israphel teleports them to a strange island.

Season 2: Survival Island
Right when Xephos and Honeydew are about to enter the portal, Israphel teleports them to Survival Island, an island most likely located off the coast of Minecraftia, with extremely limited resources. (Old Peculier was most likely teleported to or near Mistral City. They attempt to scrape out a meager living, even having to conserve dirt, and find strange treasures, traps and challenges hidden underneath the island.                       After sighting a mysterious flying object in the sky, the pair construct a simple, illuminated 'help!' sign. A few days later, they surface from an underground excursion to find that the object they had seen was an airship, piloted by Skylord Lysander, who is accompanied by Old Peculier. Old Peculier informs the heroes that they must return to Minecraftia, in order to defeat the evil they had encountered in Season 1. Xephos and Honeydew board the airship, and leave Survival Island to return and live in the peaceful home land of Minecraftia.

Season 3: Shadow of Israphel
Season 3 encompasses the heroes' efforts to stop Israphel and rescue the captured Daisy, with the help of old friends such as Knight Peculier (presumed deceased ) and Skylord Lysander, and new ones like Father Braeburn, Templar Adaephon, Isabel Peculier, and many others. The heroes also slowly unlock the mysteries of the past, discovering the Sand Wars, the story of Verigan and Karpath, Knight Peculier's past, and the origins of Israphel and the Evil beneath the Sands. As they slowly piece together the mystery of the Sands, they venture all across Minecraftia, to places such as Mistral City, Verigans Hold, BBQ Bay, The Skyhold, Stoneholm and into the Desert. The series is still going on, and, with Knight Peculier (presumably) dead, the heroes must find their way through the perilous Desert to stop Israphel's evil plot and, of course, save Daisy Duke.
