WHAT SURVIVES A CHANGED WORLD
Mirrodin: Survival and Purpose
Follow different lives through Mirrodin's conquest and the remaking of its familiar landscape, where survival continues beneath Phyrexia's imposed order.
Why this story matters
The route in brief
New Phyrexia builds layers inside Mirrodin's ruined shell. The older surface, now Mirrex, is not a separate plane. Beneath it, engineered environments turn places to live into instruments of Phyrexian ambition.
In the earlier Tangle, Glissa directs predation while hidden elves organise resistance. Their continued presence matters: control of a region does not make every inhabitant a willing participant.
Each numbered Key Moment opens the chapter describing that action. The profile keeps the person's account together, while the chapter adds context. These are parallel portraits, not one shared expedition. An omitted later event is not evidence of death or survival; follow the described period without inventing an ending.
