Information
Plane New Phyrexia

The Radix was one of the five lacunae on Mirrodin.[1]

History

Originally, it appeared as a humming sphere of brilliant green metal in a circular clearing of burnished copper one hundred feet across at the heart of the Tangle.[2] No mold accumulates here, and the Radix is warm to the touch even at the black sun’s noon. It was considered sacred to the elves and Sylvok druids of the Tangle, as anything left on its surface slowly vanished in a matter of days - with the rare exception of the Heartwood Shard. It was the place where the Viridian elves sent their honored dead to the afterlife, and also where they banished the devices and machines they deemed unnatural.

However, once Glissa tapped a large amount of mana to destroy the Kaldra Champion, a surge of green mana from Mirrodin's Mana Core discharged through the Radix and ascended to become Mirrodin's fifth moon, effectively destroying the Radix and forming the Green Lacuna in its place.[3] After the fifth dawn, organic plant life began to grow around the lacuna.[1]
