Tolvada is a plane and the homeworld of Kaya.[2]

Description

For years, Tolvada's blue sky had been covered with cracks resembling an inverted and jagged aurora.[3] Kaya suspected Nicol Bolas had a hand in this phenomenon, and he offered to restore the sky in exchange for her services.[3] Kaya was descended from a noble family of the plane.

Kaya sometimes swore by "the goddess", which may have been a deity from Tolvada.[2] The phrase "gods and monsters" that she usually used could imply she had learned of greater things than the goddess in her journeys through the Multiverse.

Tolvada was one of the planes subject to the Phyrexian Invasion, but Kaya was not mentioned to have tried to defend it, having been seen on Theros and Kamigawa instead. The plane's spirits poured through the omenpaths into New Phyrexia, though they had no discernible effect on the final battle.

BOOM! comics

In the BOOM! comics continuity, The Broken Sky seemed to have driven the inhabitants of the plane madder and madder each passing day, and Kaya believes her people can’t be saved anymore.[4]

Locations

  • The small village Kaya was born into, with a population of less than 100.
  • Keru, a place inhabited by "The Ancients".[2]
    • Keru's Grave[2]

Notes

  1. Mark Rosewater justified this rating on the basis that Tolvada was destroyed, when it was in fact still intact, albeit unstable. When this was later pointed out to him, he acknowledged that he may have based his rating on material that had changed since he last saw it.
