Xerex is a plane that features enormous underground passages with Escherian reality - or physics bending effects - and kaleidoscopic geometric features.[1]
History
Phyrexian invasion
Next-to-nothing is known about Xerex before the Phyrexian invasion; most factions of Phyrexia — save the Etched Host — made an incursion onto the plane.[2] The result was a failure not by any form of concerted defense, but because the nebulous reality in Xerex was too alien for the literalist Phyrexians to comprehend.[3]
Inhabitants
