'''Torwynn''' was mentioned as a plane on several lists on the internet, but the only known information about a plane called Torwynn is an old site of a certain Merric Blackman. That site however mentions it as a place where fan-fiction takes place, which of course would not be canon. Unfortunatly none of the people who made the lists on which Torwynn was mentioned as canon are still around on [[Phyrexia.com]], so we can't easily verify how it ended up on the lists.
