New Phyrexia is one of the most dangerous Planes in the Multiverse of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Magic: The Gathering. It is home to the Phyrexians, a species of artificial beings that want to convert flesh and organic beings into Phyrexians. The process ཧof conversion is a process known as compleation.
The Plane did not actually start as New Phyrexia, but as an artificial ꦏPlane that went by the name of Mirrodin. While the Phyrexians rule the Plane, a small but dedicated Mirrian resistance still exists in the hopes of reclaiming their world from the Phyrexia rule⛄rs. There are five different factions of New Phyrexia (one for each color), each led by a Praetor.
Argentum And Mirrodin
Originally, the Plane was named Argentum. This was 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:created by the Planeswalker Karn, making the world out of empty space. He did not stay behind but created a golem named Memnarch to watch over it as Karn continued ൩exploring other Planes.
However, due to having the heart of an old Phyrexian, Karn seeped glistening oil without his knowledge. The glistening oil is what turns beings into Phyrexians. The Memnarch was exposed to glistening oil and was driven mad by it, and desperately tried to do whatever it took to become a Planeswalker like its creator. The Memnarch converted Argentum into Mirrodin and created an entire ecosystem that could support or൲ganic life.
The Memnarch abducted organisms from other Planes that 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:may have a Planeswalker spark in hopes of taking it for himself. However, the Memnarch was successfully killed, and the traps it set that brought in outsiders were gone. Karn returned to the Plane to revive the souls of all those who died from the Menarch and returned the kidnapped back to their natural Planes. To locals, they had no idea what had happened, and this event became known as The Vanishing.
Becoming New Phyrexia
The glistening oil that Karn tracked into Mirrodin began to infect other beings on the Plane. Due to how artificial the Plane was, it was trivial for the Phyrexians to expand. Many locals had no idea of Phyrexia's existence on the Plane until it was far too late and the Phyrexians had returned. Each of the five suns on Mirrodin would create 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the five Phyrexian Praetors that led each faction of the Phyerxians. These were Elesh Norn (white), Vorinclex (green), Jin-Gitaxias (blue), Sheoldred (black), and Urabrask (red). Each of them has their own philosoph🐼ies that🌳 are influenced by their color of origin.
Together, the Praetors stomped out the Mirrans to convert the Plane into New Phyrexia. A Mirran resistance led by the Planeswalkers Koth and Elspeth tried to stop the Praetors' conquest but ultimately failed. The Plane's days as Mirrodin came to an end when a Mirran Angel was captured. She was compleated in a ceremony attended by all the Praetors but Urabrask and became a symbol of New Phyrexia and its victory along with its future.
Despite this, not every faction or Praetor is unified due to their conflicting philosophies. Urabrask believes in free will, which contradicts the mindsets of fellow Praetors such as Elesh Norn - so much to the point of leading a resistance against her rule. Elesh Norn has gone as far as to destroy the domains of Sheol🐎dred and Urabrask in the past as well.
The Nine Spheres And Five Factions
As Mirrodin, there only existed three spheres on the Plane - the surface, interior, and furnace layers. In an effort to make it more like the original Plane of Phyrexia, six more Spheres were created to match the number of spheres Phyrexia had.
The Monumental Facade
The Monumental Facade was created as a show of unified power to create an entire outer sphere of the entire Plane done by the Praetors. It is 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:decorated with monuments to the Praetors and towers, and even if any towers in this sphere vanish, they simply arise once again at a🐎nother location at the Monumental Facade.
Mirrex
The Mirrex was once the original surface sphere of Mirrodin. It became an apocalyptic wasteland as the Phyrexians harvested material to make New Phyerxia's inner spheres. Phyrexian scavengers still scour it for more material, and many Mirran survivors live in this region.
The Autonomous Furnace
The Autonomous Furnace was the first layer that the Phyrexians ever established, and where they began to multiply and build their forces. The metal at this layer was used to convert Mirrans into Phyrexians. This is the layer that is home to the Preator Urabrask where multiple separate factions live within the red-aligned Quiet Furnace faction. Urabrask allowed Mirrans to live here peacefully.
The Hunter Maze
Home to the Praetor Vorinclex, the Hunter Maze is home to Phyrexians that believe in "survival of the fittest" - The Vicious Swarm, the green faction of New Phyrexia. The sphere was originally the Mirran Tangle but was converted into the Hunter Maze where large beꦡasts battꦐle it out until only the strongest stay standing.
While other Praetors rule over their domains, Vorinclex simply sits back and relis❀hes in the evolution he made.
The Surgical Bay
The Surgical Bay is where the Phyrexian research happens thanks to the blue-aligned Progress Engine faction. This is where Jin-Gitaxias lives and works to further power New Phyrexia with new experiments. This layer was used to spread glistening oil underneath Mirrodin's surface and was moved into a reservoir after its job was done.
The Dross Pits
The Dross Pits is a layer that is constantly fighting. It is home to the Seven Steel Thanes, with each of them in constant conflict to become the Praetor 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:of the black faction. It is Sheoldred that currently rules over it. War games and att🐼acks on the other Thanes are comm꧃on, but none of them have been able to take down Sheoldred.
The Fair Basilica
The lair of Elesh Norn, the leader of New Phyrexia, the Fair Basilica is at the center of where crucial material resides to build new spheres. This allows Elesh Norn to retain her power over the r🔯est of the Praetors. The Fair Basilica is designed after Elesh Norn herself, which helps to further strengthen her rule over New Phyrexia.
It is where the white-aligned Machine Orthodoxy that Elesh No🌸rn leads as its figurehead resides. The Machine Orthodoxy believes in unifying all creatures through compleation ꦬto end all conflict.
The Mycosynth Gardens
Once the original inner core of Mirrodin, the Mysoynth Gardens is completely devoid of life. It was forbidden by Elesh Norn that an♑yone enter this sphere withoutꦓ her permission, including the other Praetors.
The Seedcore
The Seedcore is one of the most historic sites of Mirrodin. It was where the Memnarch once lived and later a throne room for Karn that later became his prison. The Seedcore is where Elesh Norn planted sap from the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:World Tree of Kaldheim to grow the Realmbreaker - a Phyrexian tree that was capable of infiltrating other Planes. She was successful in activating it to initiate the Phyrexian invasion of the Multiverse.
