Mirrodin (plane)

Mirrodin was originally created by Karn Planeswalker as a plane called Argentum. Karn left one of his creations, Memnarch (a golem created from the Mirari) in control of the plane when he went out to explore the Multiverse. Unfortunately for Argentum, Memnarch was driven mad by Phyrexian oil^[1] that was somehow left in Galdroon Palace, Karn's home on the plane. After being infected, Memnarch was a being forever changed and wished to become a planeswalker like its creator. Memnarch transformed Argentum into Mirrodin, essentially a gigantic terrarium with its own food chain and environmental systems, built to supply organisms that could potentially yield sparks. Once Memnarch found such a being, he would take its spark and implant it into himself to achieve planeswalker status.

At some point, mycosynth arrived on the plane, changing metal to organic material, including the Memnarch himself. Soon thereafter, Memnarch discovered blinkmoth serum, which greatly diminished his decaying sanity, and he became addicted to the substance. Though Karn wished to intervene, Memnarch blocked him from his own world, thinking in his madness that Karn was already there.

The outer sphere of Mirrodin had a circumference of 1400 kilometers, with a diameter of around 450 kilometers.^[2] Mirrodin had five suns (also called moons by some of the plane's inhabitants; it is also notable that each different satellite was regarded with its own folklore by the peoples of Mirrodin), one for each color of mana, though the green sun was absent until late in the Mirrodin's history. The names of the moons were: Bringer, Eye of Doom, Ingle, Sky Tyrant and Lyese.

Across the surface of Mirrodin, there were five Lacunae, one for each color, in each different landscape on the artificial world. The Lacunae were gigantic tunnels that went to the hollow core of the plane. It was through each tunnel that the five suns were ejected from the plane's core; extra mana of a particular color was sent off into the atmosphere.
