the shard
the brother's war ended with the death of mishra and the ascension of urza as a planeswalker - an ethereal, god-like being of endless power, with the ability to walk the multiverse through the nether of the blind eternities. urza the artificer became a planeswalker when he poured all his memories into a bowl-shaped artifact, the golgothian sylex, in order to defeat his crazed brother; and by doing so, he produced a cataclysm that wiped the continent of argoth from the world and sank the entire world of dominaria into a millenium-long ice age. the thran powerstones that were the reason why both brothers fought so fiercely - the weakstone and the mightstone - were lodged within urza's skull, taking the place of his eyes. and both stones were the source of his tremendous power, for they contained the essence of glacian, a nascent planeswalker of the thran who used his lifeforce through the stone in order to lock the hellish spheres of phyrexia from dominaria.
but by releasing the power of the sylex, urza did not only "engineered" the ice age - he also locked the dominarian nexus of worlds in the multiverse, trapping everyone inside, and himself outside. no one, not even a planeswalker, could walk in our out of the shard words. dominaria was apparently safe from everyone - including him and phyrexia.
among the planeswalkers trapped within the shard was freyalise, goddess of the elves. once a child of red mana, freyalise turned to the green colours of nature when she became a planeswalker. while urza was the responsible for the beginning of the ice age, freyalise was the one who brought it to an end when she cast the world spell using two artifacts: the reflecting mirror of the archmage jodah and the ice cauldron. the world spell was a powerful and destructive spell, which ended the ice age and brought spring back into a long-frozen world. it also repaired the shard, leaving the dominarian nexus unguarded - thus allowing the return of phyrexia, and urza right after that. while freyalise can be blamed by being reckless - she could have destroyed the world with her spellcasting, and she allowed the evil of yawgmoth to return -, she also gave dominaria the chance to live again - for living is not without danger.
i guess freyalise is needed, once more.
