Yavimaya was a thickly forested mountainous region off the southern coasts of the Dominarian continent Terisiare, that by then had grown into a single sapient mind, driving out its old and new inhabitants.
History
Home to the gorilla tribes and a refuge for the Fyndhorn elves after the Ice Age, these races united to overcome the forest's native hostility.
When Urza journeyed to Yavimaya to enlist its aid against the Phyrexians, Yavimaya and many of its denizens remembered Urza's role in decimating Argoth. Urza was then taken captive by the forest's emissary, Multani. For a time Urza's consciousness merged with Yavimaya's.
Magninoth
The magnigoth was a species of long-lived Yavimayan tree that grew thousands of feet tall. [1] [[Treefolk#Magnigoth Treefolk|Magnigoth treefolk are awakened trees of the magnigoth species. They fought the Phyrexians during the time of the invasion.
Weatherseed
The Weatherseed was the seed of the oldest magnigoth tree. Urza transformed it formed the hull of the Skyship Weatherlight.
Locations in Yavimaya
- The Yavimaya River runs through the Yavimaya Valley.
- Rith's Grove, the dwelling of Rith, the Awakener.
- Yavimaya Hollow, containing the Heart of Yavimaya.
Yavimayan rift
Urza's earlier Sylex Blast had resulted in Yavimaya's rift. When the rifts worsened, the sentient forest tried to heal the damage, without success. Under the influence of Leshrac, Jeska used Radha to seal the rift, causing the warrior to lose her potential to become a planeswalker.
