![]() Under the white sun (known as the Bringer by the goblins) is the Glimmervoid. Tel-Jilad holds the collective memories of the Mirran Elves. ![]() When the green sun eventually emerges, the goblins nickname it the “Ugly Child”. Nearby is the Radix, a mysterious site filled with power. The elves live in a settlement around the tree called Viridia. This is the central home of the elves and trolls of Mirrodin. The Tangle is a copper forest, and the main hub of the Tangle is Tel-Jilad, the Tree of Tales. The one region that does not have one of these ‘suns’, at least initially, is the Tangle. The tunnels to the core where the suns emerged are called Lacuna, and there are four sites around the plane. These balls of mana are known as suns by the inhabitants. Each region, save one, has a huge ball of colored mana that orbits the plane, cresting over the associated region. Mirrodin is not a large world, with only five major locations on its surface, each only days away from one another. ![]() When a golem known as the Warden began to go mad, he renamed the world Mirrodin, and abducted living beings from across the Multiverse. When Mirrodin was Argentum, it was a dark world lit by ‘stars’, a world of tessellation and perfection, populated only by golems. I will include details from the Scars of Mirrodin Retcons here as well, at least as they pertain to pre-Vanishing cultures. Much of that can be explained by the various characters’ own ignorance, but it is also likely that plot points changed in development which could not be accounted for in the story. Planeswalker Guides were created after Mirrodin was released, and there was a bit of a disconnect between the world as portrayed on the cards and the world portrayed through the story. Most of our information on the cultures of Mirrodin came as a prelude to Scars of Mirrodin. Precursor Golem by Chippy Setting the Stage When Karn first created Argentum, it was an empty world populated by golems. Mirrodin was the first time we'd focused on a completely different plane for an entire block, kicking off the plane-of-the-year paradigm we'd see for the next decade or so. ![]() Now, that infection isn't quite as unknown these days, but at the time is a was a pretty big mystery but ultimately irrelevant to the main plot of the novels. The Guardian, calling himself Memnarch, renamed the plane Mirrodin. The problem? An unknown infection corrupted the golem, and it went mad, believed Mirrodin needed more life and stole beings from across the multiverse to fill the plane. The Mirari malfunctioned on Dominaria, so Karn brought it back to Argentum and transformed it into a golem as a reward for its service - making it the Guardian of Argentum. Welcome back, fleshlings, to your unofficial guide to Magic: The Gathering! Today we will talk about Argentum, where Karn deposited the Mirari, a magical probe he sent to Dominaria (and around the Multiverse).
