Otaria is a continent on Dominaria’s southern hemisphere that is not featured in any storylines until after the Phyrexian Invasion. It survived that war relatively unscathed and was one of the first areas to recover and grow powerful once more. As a result, many of the survivors on other areas of Dominaria sought refuge on the continent. Despite all of this, Otaria's many cultures were considerably warlike and barbaric, running through policies of terror and commercializing the arena combat facillities.

A century after the Invasion the Mirari appeared there, initiating a destructive war that again devastated much of the world.

It is the primary location for the Odyssey and Onslaught blocks.


Locations

Daru Plains

The Daru Plains are sprawled at the Northern edge of the continent, and they are home to the nomadic people of the Order.

Mer Empire

A huge undersea power, the Mer Empire is a dominant force in Otaria. It was more sophisticated than the land-bound cultures, with considerable magic abillity held by its main occupants, the Cephalids, and an advanced governing body of aristocrats holding power under the imperial office. Cephalids were also skilled merchants, and the Mer Empire held a wealth of treasures and fine craftsmanship. Thus, they were able to obtain a respect in the mainland. The Empire runs along the eastern coasts of the continent.

Balshan Bay

Southern Cephalid Palace

The capital of the Mer Empire and the location of the throne were at the Southern Cephalid Palace, off of the South-Eastern coast of Otaria. Empress Llawan ruled here, her authority contested by Emperor Aboshan in the North.
