![]() The two were sent off to a camp to study artifice with the archaeologist, Tocasia, after some time. During this time, the Phyrexians waited, plotted, and built up their forces for the time when their way would be clear into the old world.Īfter some five thousand years had passed, the nation of Argive was founded, and the brothers Urza and Mishra were born. However, this transfer was made impossible for five millennia because of the closing of the portal between Dominaria and Phyrexia in the Caves of Koilos, where the planeswalker Glacian transfused his being into two halves of a powerstone that was used by his wife, Rebbec, to seal off the connection. Also aware that their artificial home plane would collapse after some time, the survival of the Phyrexian way depended upon the successful entrance into Dominaria and the defeat of its life forms. Many years were spent preparing for this invasion, with various plans, weapons, and soldiers being created throughout the ages. The Phyrexians' main purpose after their entrapment in the plane was to invade and destroy their old home of Dominaria. ![]() Eventually, Phyrexia created great Spore Engines and Plague Dreadnoughts – unimaginably huge, quasi-living artifact machines designed for war. ![]() Successful ones were “evolved” with an unspeakable mixture of necrotic tissue and greasy metal. Phyrexian organisms were judged by their ability to survive their nightmarish world. Over time a vast social order emerged, a horrifying food chain with church-like rites and rituals. Witch Engines, Birth Priests, Flesh Reavers, Hollow Dogs, Blood Praetors. Over hundreds of years, Phyrexia evolved priests and acolytes who extolled and worshiped Yawgmoth, as well as demons and abominations of infinite variety to kill for him. Yawgmoth gave Phyrexian organisms a purpose: to thrive, to grow beyond the confines of Phyrexia and into the rest of the Multiverse. The ensuing war destroyed the nation of the Thran. Yawgmoth, with the remnants and descendants of the phthisis-inflicted Thran humans, whom he saved through the process he referred to as " Phyresis" (essentially the replacement of weak mortality with artifice) and from which he named the plane, came here when they were forced out of the Thran Empire as traitors. 9000 years later this infirmary would become Gamalgoth, the first city of Phyrexia. Rebbec constructed a new infirmary on this new plane. Phyrexia was not so different from Mirrodin until Yawgmoth arrived thousands of years ago, brought there by the planeswalker Dyfed. According to Dyfed the meat of these creatures was edible. Prior to Yawgmoth, Phyrexia already had most of its spheres, the first one bearing a paradisical, sunlit simulacrum of forests and plains with "serpents" coiled around the trunks of the "trees", while the second sphere was illuminated by a metallic sheen and bearing crude artifact creatures with amalgamous features, from which the "serpents" evolved. Little is known of him, aside from the fact that he was a humanoid that preferred to assume the form of a dragon: he died just a month before Yawgmoth was transported to Phyrexia.Īccording to the planeswalker Dyfed, the original size of Phyrexia was two or three times that of the Thran Empire. As a yet unnamed plane, Phyrexia was created by an ancient evil planeswalker.
