Otaria

• Karona- Karona existed once long and long ago, before the time of the Thran, when the Numena rose to power. The three wizard-kings spread out from Otaria, conquering all lands they touched until there was no ground that they did not claim. Such things aren't meant to last though, and the three tyrants turned upon one another. In this conflict, they gave birth to the being they called "Mother", the living incarnation of magic itself. The numena knew that she was a threat of the greatest measure, and focused on destroying her before she ever learned of her full abilities. It cost the Numena their power, and more their very lives.

Her reincarnation, Karona, was the manifestation of all Dominarian mana, brought into being by the aggregation of Akroma, Phage, and Zagorka, all slain by the Soul Reaper. During her brief existence, she further devastated the already war-torn Otaria, and disrupted the very fabric of magic on Dominaria. Her abilities stemmed from that of faith, that anything a being could believe of her, she could accomplish.

• Scion of Darkness was the avatar of Kuberr before he gained physical form from the union of The First and Phage.
