Welcome to Gaia! ::

Freyalise was a half-elven fire mage from Storgard and Zilgeth's successor to lead Clan Ruby. She and Jason Carthalion were childhood friends, but when Oriel Kjeldos suggested leaving Storgard, King Miko (under the influence of Tevesh Szat) ordered that they duel. Jason's green magic dealt her a fatal blow, and she had its power in mind when she ascended, thus favoring green as a planeswalker. Her ascension drove her nearly mad, but she was helped by Jodah, the powerful but mortal Archmage Eternal. As a planeswalker, Freyalise wore an eye-patch, had short brown hair, and preferred to float just above the ground rather than actually stand on it.

Afterwards, she helped the elves of Fyndhorn and Llanowar survive the Ice Age and as a result became worshipped as a goddess by them. She studied the Shard in search of a way to free the worlds within, and hoped to find the answers during Faralyn's Summit of the Null Moon. She was tricked, however, since Faralyn wanted to use the energy of a planeswalker's death to escape the Shard. She fought Szat on Azoria and was left for dead after destroying all the islands of the plane.

After this, with the help of Kristina of the Woods, Kaysa, Sir Zaraya, Jodah's mirror and the Ice Cauldron, she cast the World Spell to end the Ice Age. She also armed and instructed Jaeuhl Carthalion on his quest to expel Szat from Dominaria. After she completed the World Spell, she installed the enchantment on Jodah's mirror that would cause Jaya Ballard's ascension twenty years later.

Freyalise left Dominaria after the Ice Age, but returned to defend it against the Phyrexian Invasion as one of the Nine Titans. She fought at the battle of Koilos, then she transported Eladamri and the Steel Leaf elves to Keld, where the Skyshroud Forest had appeared following the Rathi Overlay. At Eladamri's request, Freyalise cast a spell to protect the forest from the cold of the region before leaving to rejoin the Nine Titans for their invasion of Phyrexia. Of the Nine, only Freyalise, Commodore Guff, Bo Levar, and Lord Windgrace were able to activate the soul bombs they had planted throughout Phyrexia in order to gut the plane. However, they returned to Dominaria only to find that Yawgmoth himself had also transported there. Powerless against the Lord of the Wastes, Freyalise returned to the Skyshroud and sent an avatar of herself to Llanowar to stand with her elven followers as Yawgmoth descended.

However, Freyalise, along with all of Dominaria, was saved by the activation of the Legacy Weapon, which seemingly destroyed Yawgmoth. As a result, Freyalise and Lord Windgrace were the only two members of the Nine Titans to survive the war. After the Invasion she erected the Martyrs' Tomb and officiated its dedication.

Freyalise resumed her xenophobic stance as she strove to protect Skyshroud from the new threats to the mana-distraught plane of Dominaria. Recent attacks from Gathan warriors and slivers resulted in Skyshroud's continued militant stance to outsiders. She refused to listen to Teferi about the threat of the time rifts. However, Skyshroud was later invaded by Phyrexians from an alternate reality. Freyalise took control of the local slivers, who were obedient to the strongest leader. This title was soon usurped by the Weaver King, who transported himself to Skyshroud through Venser. In the end, an exhausted Freyalise had a moment of enlightenment, suddenly understanding Teferi's sacrifice and realizing her own somewhat flawed and selfish stance. In an attempt to at least save what could be saved, she attempted to seal the time rift above Skyshroud, brought on by its overlay. She called back the power that he used to protect the forest from its surroundings since the overlay and pulled it into herself. In a huge blast of green and red mana, Freyalise sacrificed herself to seal the rift.

Grefrell Mor was of the founding sages of Minorad, and an advisor to the queen of Corundis. He reluctantly agreed not to interfere with Ravidel when the Battlemage threatened to destroy the city. He hid the long-daggers after discovering how to use them to destroy the Golgothian Sylex, but later was banished to the sand sea’s of Golthonor by Ravidel, where he worked on the rust spell to destroy the Sylex. He was the father of Gwendolynn Mor, who married Adam Carthalion and thus made Grenfell Mor the grandfather of Jared Carthalion. He tried to kill Jared with Valthus, his sea serpent, when the Wayfarer came to Telemar City with Kristina of the Woods, but failed.

Grenfell Mor may have been a descendent of Gydolien Mor, though this is uncertain.

Jeska was an Otarian barbarian along with her brother, Kamahl. Due to the tumultuous happenings of her life she was called Thrice Touched by Infinity.

She lived with her family in Balthor Rockfist's tribe, spending much of her time learning from the dwarves rather than the other humans that made up her tribe. For this, she was slightly shunned for her dwarven-born opinions. She lived peacefully until Kamahl left to seek his fortunes in the gladitorial pits of Cabal City. Later, concerned for Kamahl's wellbeing, Jeska and Balthor followed Kamahl's footsteps. When Kamahl returned to the village, he was deeply enthralled by the influence of the Mirari, and during an assault Kamahl lost control and went berserk, slaying most of his kin and striking a horrific blow against Jeska. This shattered the Mirari's spell, and in deep grief, Kamahl sought out someone who could save the dying Jeska. She was left in the care of the centaur Seton, but captured by Braids and brought to the Cabal Patriarch.

The Patriarch's attempt to destroy Jeska, instead gave birth to Phage the Untouchable through the unique combination of Jeska's planeswalker spark, The Patriarch's killing touch, and the intervention of the Numena Kuberr. Jeska was cursed so that anything she touched would rot and because of this, the only fabric that she could touch was silk, and she could only touch inorganic items like stone and steel. Phage fought loyally for the Patriarch, and due to the unique nature of their relationship, bore him a child. This child turned out to be the reincarnation of the Kuberr.

Each person that she killed formed the seed of a Deathwurm inside of her, and when touched by Ixidor's dream magic, those deathwurms were sent out into the world, leaving her once again Jeska. In order to save the land from being completely destroyed by the deathwurms, she pulled them back into herself, damning herself to a life as Phage. One wurm survived, the one that contained the essence of Nivea, Phage's first kill, and that wurm consumed Ixidor, so he could rest with his love forever.

Phage left the Cabal and joined Zagorka in Sanctum, where she was tracked down by Akroma for killing Nivea. Phage's existence ended when Kamahl intervened in her battle with Akroma, and with one swing of the Soul Reaper, he killed Akroma, Phage and accidentaly slayed Zagorka. The essence of the three women blended into a new being - Karona, goddess of magic.

Later, when the hollow men Sash and Waistcoat killed Karona, the three women separated; Zagorka and Akroma were dead, but Jeska's latent planeswalker's spark ignited, and she ascended. It was her dormant spark that saved her from death when the Mirari, embedded in Kamahl's sword, killed Karona, and following these events, she visited many worlds of the Multiverse under the tutelage of her mentor Karn.

Centuries later, during the temporal rift crisis, Jeska appeared on Dominaria while searching for Karn. She demanded to learn of Karn's fate from Teferi and his company. When she realized the gravity of the situation, she decided to help, but upon her own terms, claiming that Teferi's methods were no method at all. She was then visited by the planeswalker Leshrac Nightwalker, who offered her an artifact of power, the Mask of Night's Reach, to help her in her mission. She refused, but unknowingly fell under mental control of the insidious Leshrac, who planned to use her dormant Phage powers to defeat Nicol Bolas.

She started in Keld, where she defeated and took Radha to use her as a mana lens for closing the rifts without the need to sacrifice herself. In Zhalfir, she closed the local rift without consulting Teferi, causing the irrevocable loss of the phased-out lands.

Jeska then took Radha to Yavimaya to close the rift there. Multani used his powers to try and influence her mind and change her aggressive thoughts, but an intervention from Leshrac's side (dreadful visions of a brutal and bloodthirsty Kamahl killing his Krosan allies) caused Jeska to break the connection and immolate Multani's physical form. Moments later, she used Radha and Multani's power to close the Yavimayan rift, seemingly annihilating Multani's essence in the process.

She proceeded to Madara. Here, Leshrac ambushed her, and using the Mask of Night's Reach, he stripped her of her legacy as Phage, her powers having lain dormant all this time, and attempted to order her to battle Bolas. Jeska refused, with Bolas's subtle assistance, and Leshrac encased her in stone to keep her from interfering. When Leshrac was defeated by the elder dragon and his essence spent to close the Madaran rift, Bolas freed Jeska, but assured her that the Otarian rift could not be closed, being too immense and powerful.

Jeska, still determined, prepared to face her final challenge. The last rift covered the whole of Otaria's skies, and was tied to her personally - it was a direct result of Karona's birth and death.

Venser and Radha assured her that they would stand by her and help her to face her nemesis. Jeska and the two planeswalkers teleported into the heart of the rift. Here, Jeska faced an image of Karona, the embodiment of the rift. Drawing power from the willing friends, she charged the image of the goddess and shattered it. She spread her planeswalker essence over the rift and further, over all the rifts and fissures of the multiverse connected to it. In one huge discharge of her power, she closed them all, allowing the Great Mending to begin.

Immediately after her sacrifice, Jeska appeared in a white void, where she was welcomed by her beloved long dead brother Kamahl. With the two siblings finally reunited, Jeska's mind happily welcomed the oblivion.

Karn was created as a probe by Urza and Barrin to enable their time traveling experiments. His form was chosen because Urza's studies had shown that only silver could pass through temporal energies unharmed. In an effort to make the golem fully sentient, Urza included Xantcha's heartstone as part of his construction, allowing him to develop a personality which would grow and evolve and make decisions on his own should the need call for it.

After his activation, Urza entrusted the young Teferi, a student at the Tolarian Academy, to teach Karn about the world. Teferi saw him as an elaborate toy and endlessly harassed the the golem, who knew no better. An example of Teferi's callous treatment showed in the name he chose for Karn, Arty Shovelhead. Disdaining Teferi's awful treatment of the being, a senior student named Jhoira took him from Teferi and began to teach him in earnest. She granted him the name Karn, a Thran word for "mighty." The experiments with Karn proceeded and an idyllic sort of life settled in, but then tragedy struck. When Jhoira's life was taken by a Phyrexian sleeper agent during an assault, Karn used Urza's time machine to go back and save her; though he succeeded, the time machine suffered catastrophic failure, destroying the first academy and leaving Tolaria a shattered temporal landscape.

Karn returned with Urza and Barrin to help rebuild Tolaria years later, and discovered Jhoira still alive, and Teferi trapped in a slow-time bubble. Jhoira and Karn worked hard and eventually devised a method to rescue Teferi. By that time, Karn had been sidelined by Urza, as the planeswalker had moved on to a variety of different projects. Karn was always present to serve, however, helping in the Mana Rig, even going so far as letting himself be used during the negotiations with the Viashino, and on the Skyship Weatherlight's first mission to Serra's Realm.

Eventually Jhoira left Tolaria, having chosen to remain in her native land of Shiv and run the mana rig with Teferi. Unfortunately, Karn missed her terribly, and fell deeper and deeper into a black depression which was slowly consuming him. In an effort to stem this problem, Karn frequently joined the Weatherlight voyages around the world, hoping the world at large would take his mind off his problems. It did not have the desired effect, instead just reminding him of all the things he was trying to avoid. Barrin showed deep concern for the golem's mental health and pleaded with Urza to try and find some way to help him. Urza acquiesced and placed a mental cap on Karn's memories, allowing him to recall only 20 years of his life at a time. There was only one thing that Karn never wished to forget, and every night he would hold a picture of Jhoira and repeat the mantra "Jhoira is my friend."

Urza decided that the Weatherlight, Karn, and all the other artifacts he had built and collected over the years to further his quest agaisnt Phyrexia -- collectively, the Legacy -- needed a human component to wield them. He set about interfering with Dominarian bloodlines, trying to breed the perfect hero. The culmination of this project, the Capashen bloodline, was put under Karn's care.

The golem rescued young Gerrard Capashen from the Phyrexian raids on Benalia, and brought him to his adoptive father Sidar Kondo. When Kondo's son Vuel turned against his tribe and stole the Legacy, Karn went to retrieve it. During this effort, he was tricked into killing an innocent bystander, and was frozen by the Touchstone. He was later found and freed by Sisay, with the memory of killing the innocent fresh in his mind. Karn took a vow of pacifism, swearing never again to take a life.

During the Weatherlight's time on Rath, Karn was captured by Greven as he refused to fight off his attackers. He was taken to Volrath's Stronghold. There, he was tortured by being put into a room that would tumble, with an endless supply of Moggs which he was forced to fall onto and crush to death, until being rescued by Gerrard. As the Weatherlight crew fled the Stronghold, Karn knew he had a mission seperate from the others, and went to seek the Legacy artifacts guarded by the Sliver Queen. By explaining to the hive-mind that the Legacy was part of him, Karn convinced the Sliver Queen to let him take the artifacts and depart in peace.

Early in the Phyrexian Invasion, while confronting Tsabo Tavoc in the caves of Koilos Karn realized his vow of pacifism kept him from protecting his friends and his homeworld. He was still torn by his desire to protect and his vow, but a strike upon his head broke the cap that Urza had placed upon his memories, and they came rushing back, most vividly of the Phyrexians he had killed to protect Jhoira. He was instrumental in helping Gerrard kill Tavoc and enjoyed the celebrations as much as any that night. The celebrations were to be short lived though, as the Overlay started the next morning. Despite his newfound willingness to kill, he spent much of his time in the Weatherlight's engine core, guiding the ship as it improved itself and further integrated the Legacy. Eventually, after the near destruction of the Weatherlight, Karn understood the entirety of the Thran Tome and with that knowledge, helped to trigger the Weatherlight's final evolution. Much to his surprise, he found he was no longer the only intelligence running the ship. To his joy, and despite the dire circumstances, Karn had finally found someone who could understand him completely. Alas, it was not to be, as Yawgmoth manifested upon Dominaria and the ship gave its life to try and slay Yawgmoth. Finally, as all hope of victory seemed lost, Karn united with Urza and Gerrard. When Gerrard placed Urza's powerstone eyes, the Mightstone and Weakstone, into Karn, the Legacy released a wave of white mana, destroying the Phyrexians and defeating Yawgmoth. While the two humans were killed, the powerstones turned Karn into the first -- and, so far as is known, only -- artificial planeswalker.

Karn later created Argentum, a plane of mathematical perfection. He sent probes to monitor Dominaria, but one of them was flawed and became the Mirari. Looking out upon the worlds, he found nothing but greed and death, blind as he was to the beauty of the worlds he found. Once again, Karn fell into depression and stagnated upon his plane. He was jarred from this malaise by the arrival of Karona upon Argentum, and he introduced himself as Lord Macht. After Karona was defeated, Karn took the her and the Mirari to Argentum and turned the orb into the golem Memnarch, and left to wander the multiverse with Jeska.

Millennia later, Karn returned to Argentum, now turned to Mirrodin by an insane Memnarch. Much to his surprise, he found himself locked out of his own plane and barely able to pierce the veil Memnarch had unwittingly placed around it. With his abilities limited, he sent dreams to the nascent planeswalker Glissa Sunseeker. Eventually Memnarch fell and so did the veil he had made. Karn turned Memnarch back into the Mirari and left it in the care of Glissa, Slobad, and Geth.

Three hundred years after the events of the Phyrexian Invasion, Karn returned to Dominaria at the request of Jhoira to aid her in sealing the time rifts tearing the multiverse apart. While attempting to close the rift over Tolaria, having travelled back in time to accomplish it during the Invasion itself, a corruption began to take hold of his mind. Sensing this, Karn proceeded to planeswalk throughout the Blind Eternities so he would not be followed across the multiverse - protecting any foolish enough to follow him from a monster of his own creation.

Karn's current status and whereabouts are unknown.

Kristina of the Woods was a planeswalker native to Corondor on Dominaria, whose planeswalker's spark manifested after the creation of the Shard of the Twelve Worlds.

Shortly before the Ice Age she met and fell in love with Taysir. They journeyed the Shard helping various peoples, until the Summit of the Null Moon. There, they defeated Leshrac and resurrected Ravidel.

After attending the World Spell, Taysir gave her a Reflecting Mirror as a proposal gift, but she refused. Kristina left Taysir to explore the multiverse, rather than use her power to get him back into Rabiah as he wanted. During her travels, she again fell in love, this time with the minotaur planeswalker Sandruu. An enraged Taysir found out, and banished Sandruu to a plane from which it would take a milennium to return, thereby ensuring that he and Kristina would not reconcile.

Kristina attended the gathering of Minorad shortly after the World Spell, which turned out to be a disaster when Ravidel appeared and threatened them with the Golgothian Sylex. Kristina stayed in Dominiara and saved Jared Carthalion from punishment in Hamath by Visionary Kadesha in the year 1281 by the Reckoning of the Sages of Minorad. She taught him how to use his magic, and later became his lover. Together they fought in the Planeswalker War. When she saw Ravidel battle Liana at Minorad, she helped Jared find the two long-daggers that would destroy the Golgothian Sylex. She was wounded in battle against Ravidel at the Dueling Chasm of Golthonor, but was saved by Jared when he ascended and became a planeswalker.

During the Phyrexian Invasion, Kristina became one of the Nine Titans as replacement for the insane planeswalker Parcher. Her relationship with Taysir and his ward Daria made it clear that the two were again on friendly, but in no way romantic, terms. She was "accidentally" killed on Phyrexia by Tevesh Szat before he betrayed the Nine Titans in earnest.

Liana was a planeswalker and one of the founders of the Minorad, and for a time was the Mistress of House Scarlet. This gathering was interrupted by Ravidel, who threatened them with the Golgothian Sylex in order to convince her to swear an oath not to interfere in his plans for Jared Carthalion. Ravidel's spellsquire, the Scarlet Vizier, cast a mind control spell on her, so she couldn’t fight Ravidel and in fact became his lover. As such, though she knew of Jared's past, she would not tell him of it. However, she was not loyal to Ravidel by any means, and did whatever see could to oppose him, including helping Jared escape Castle Melmereth. When the Vizier died in the attack on Arathoxia, Liana allied herself with Jared Carthalion and detonated all of Ravidels artifacts. She told Jared a little about his mother, and gave him her Black Lotus and an alabaster potion to help Ezer. Liana later lured him into the Abyss, so Jared and Kristina of the Woods could escape to Corundis. Liana died in the battle, and Ravidel took her three Moxen to create the Mox Beacon that start the Planeswalkers' War.

Manatarqua was a newly sparked planeswalker that Urza encounterd. She attended the planeswalker meeting on the plane of Gastal; being shy and afraid of the other planeswalkers, she took the form of a pavilion to house the meeting.

Urza had left the meeting, and shortly after Manatarqua was killed when the meeting was disrupted by the attack of a predatory unnamed planeswalker. Not much else was known about her.
