History
The nation of New Argive was formed by Balduvia and Kjeldor at the end of Dominaria's Ice Age.
Hanna, navigator of the Weatherlight, studied at the Argivian University.[5] New Argive was devastated during the second phase of the Phyrexian Invasion, but seems to have recovered. However, recently the island has been infiltrated by Cabal agents.[1]
In the lead-up to the second Phyrexian invasion of Dominaria, New Argive was considered the most powerful armed force on the continent of Terisiare.[6] King Darien XLVIII put the nobleman Stenn in charge of discovering Phyrexian sleeper agents. However, as Stenn was one himself, he used the position to infect Argivia with Phyrexians.[7]
