The Shard came into being after the [[Sylex Blast]], after [[Urza]] asked the [[Sylex]] to protect Dominaria. Energy released from Dominaria formed the Shard, and crystallized twelve planes inside into the [[Dominarian Nexus]], which stayed in this form even after the Shard itself fell.

Shard of the Twelve Worlds
Information
Plane Unknown

The Shard of the Twelve Worlds was an envelope containing twelve planes, separating them from the rest of the Multiverse.[1]

Description

The Golgothian Sylex explosion.

The only planes confirmed to be within the Shard were Dominaria, Azoria, and Ravidel's home plane. The Nether Void was accessible within the Shard, but whether it qualifies as a plane is unknown. Phyrexia was outside of the Shard.

History

The Shard was formed as a side-effect of the Sylex Blast. The blast bound several "nearby" planes together, forming the Dominarian Nexus, and also formed a barrier to travel in or out of the nexus. Many planeswalkers were trapped inside the Shard during the Ice Age.

The plane of Shandalar drifts through the Multiverse in unusual ways, and it passed through the boundary of the Shard. This allowed Faralyn, Leshrac, and Tevesh Szat to escape by planeswalking to it. Later, Freyalise used the energy of its passing to fuel the World Spell which broke the Shard, and coincidentally ended the Ice Age.
