{{Main page portals}} {{box-header|title=Story}}<div style="float:right;">[[File:Keyart_OGW_1280x960_Wallpaper.jpg|300px|thumb|The Gatewatch swore to protect the Multiverse]]</div> The [[Multiverse]] of ''[[Magic: The Gathering]]'' is a shifting space of unique, disconnected worlds, called [[plane]]s. The [[Blind Eternities]] between those worlds are unknown and impenetrable to the artifice of most cultures, but can be freely traveled by rare individuals, [[planeswalkers]], who possess an intrinsic [[spark]] that frees them from ordinary limits. The stories of the Multiverse span millennia and numerous planes. The earliest stories often center on the plane of [[Dominaria (plane)|Dominaria]]. They tell of the evolution of the [[Phyrexia]]ns from the ancient [[Thran]], and their repeated invasions of Dominaria. These are the stories of the planeswalker [[Urza]], his [[The Brothers' War|war]] with his brother [[Mishra]], his generations-long efforts to prepare Dominaria for the next assault of the Phyrexians, and the many cataclysms that Dominaria weathered as a consequence of a war in which the ends justified any means. There are stories from many other planes, and the ongoing narrative weaves among them. Among the most common destinations is the city-planet of [[Ravnica]], the site of the [[War of the Spark]], in which many planeswalkers died and the dragon [[Nicol Bolas]] was defeated by his brother, [[Ugin]]. The interdimensional monstrosities known as the [[Eldrazi]] have been fought and trapped on both the ancient plane of [[Zendikar]] and the haunted world of [[Innistrad]]. In spite of Urza's long war, the Phyrexians escaped total extinction and have re-emerged on [[New Phyrexia (plane)|New Phyrexia]]. Among the often-independent planeswalkers, [[The Gatewatch|a group]] has recently committed themselves to protecting the Multiverse against these threats that are bigger than any one world. Most new stories are freely available as chapters of the [[Magic Story]] column on the [[Wizards of the Coast]] website. An outline of each set's story can be pieced together from the physical cards marked as [[Story Spotlight]]s. Some stories have been published in novels and comics, although some of these, especially the oldest examples, may contradict the current lore. {{box-footer}} {{flexbox-header|justify=space-between}} <!-- FIRST COLUMN --> {{flexbox-item-header|order=1|style=width:23%;}} {{box-header|title=Planeswalkers}} <!-- Current cast. --> *[[Jace Beleren]] *[[Chandra Nalaar]] *[[Gideon Jura]] *[[Liliana Vess]] *[[Teferi]] *[[Nicol Bolas]] *[[Tezzeret]] *[[Dovin Baan]] *[[Vraska]] *[[Ral Zarek]] *[[Domri Rade]] *[[Kaya]] *[[Ugin]] {{box-footer}}{{flexbox-footer}} <!-- SECOND COLUMN --> {{flexbox-item-header|order=2|style=width:23%;}}{{box-header|title=Innistrad}} * [[Arlinn Kord]] <!-- could move to cast if she becomes an inter-block character --> * [[Avacyn]] ** [[Church of Avacyn]] ** The [[Cursemute]] ** [[Innistrad Moon|Innistrad's Moon]] * [[Falkenrath]], [[Markov]], [[Stromkirk]], and [[Voldaren]] [[vampire]]s * [[Gavony]] * [[Kessig]] * [[Nephalia]] * [[Stensia]] {{box-footer}}{{flexbox-footer}} <!-- THIRD COLUMN --> {{flexbox-item-header|order=3|style=width:23%;}}{{box-header|title=The Multiverse}} * [[Planes]] in the [[Multiverse]] ** [[Kaladesh (plane)|Kaladesh]] ** [[Innistrad (plane)|Innistrad]] ** [[Zendikar (plane)|Zendikar]] ** [[Tarkir]] ** [[Theros (plane)|Theros]] ** [[Ravnica]] ** [[Dominaria (plane)|Dominaria]] * [[List of planeswalkers|Planeswalkers]] * The [[Mending]] {{box-footer}}{{flexbox-footer}} <!-- FOURTH COLUMN --> {{flexbox-item-header|order=4|style=width:23%;}}{{box-header|title=Story Arcs}} * [[Brothers' War]] * [[Ice Age]] * [[Weatherlight Saga]] ** [[Urza]] ** [[Yawgmoth]] ** [[Gerrard]] ** [[Karn]] * [[New Phyrexia (plane)|Mirrodin and New Phyrexia]] * The [[Guildpact (spell)|Guildpact]] * [[Rift|Time rifts]] and the [[Mending]] ** The [[Great Aurora]] of [[Lorwyn (plane)|Lorwyn]] * The [[Conflux (event)|Conflux]] of [[Alara]] * The [[Eye of Ugin|release]] of the [[Eldrazi]] *The [[Bolas Arc]]{{box-footer}}{{flexbox-footer}} {{flexbox-footer}} {{box-header|title=Categories|text-align=center;}} {{Cat|Alara}} | {{Cat|Dominaria}} | {{Cat|Fiora}} | {{Cat|Events}} | {{Cat|Innistrad}} | {{Cat|Kaladesh}} | {{Cat|Kamigawa}} | {{Cat|Lorwyn–Shadowmoor}} | {{Cat|Magic publications}} | {{Cat|Mercadia}} | {{Cat|Mirrodin}} | {{Cat|Rath}} | {{Cat|Ravnica}} | {{Cat|Phyrexians}} | {{Cat|Planeswalkers}} | {{Cat|Spells and Magics}} | {{Cat|Tarkir}} | {{Cat|Theros}} | {{Cat|Zendikar}} {{box-footer}} [[Category:Portals]]
