Visions of Argoth. Art by Anthony S. Waters, Bob Eggleton, Rebecca Guay, and Stephen Daniele.
was a large island off the
Terisiare, covered in lush forest, rich in natural resources, and home to many
elves and
human druids. The elves lived in the boughs of trees throughout the island. Also, the forest itself was connected with the local lifeforms, and could warn them of intruders. Argoth was ruled by
Titania. At its center, somewhat like a capital city, was the settlement of Citanul. Here an order of druids lived and Titania herself resided. Near the end of the
Brothers' War,
Urza's son
Harbin discovered Argoth when he landed there in a storm, and both Urza and
Mishra's drained armies soon moved operations there. Before long, the island's forests were nearly depleted by the two war machines. Argoth's elves and native creatures were unable to stop the Brothers' plundering, and Titania was eventually killed in the midst of their combat. The battle for Argoth saw the fiercest fighting yet in the conflict, and culminated in the
Sylex Blast. This nearly wiped the island from the map, split apart the tectonic plate beneath it, and threw
Dominaria into an
Ice Age.
A few small, scattered islands seem to have remained in Argoth's location where the few remaining elves eked out a meager existence, until migrating to Fyndhorn many centuries later.
[edit] Disputes Over Location
With the release of Future Sight, Yavimaya was mentioned as being located where Argoth once stood. This has lead to some confusion with readers, due to the fact that this information hasn't been given prior to the book and that Yavimaya has another fixed location on several maps of Dominaria.
