The Meditation Plane (also known as Bolas's Meditation Realm) is a plane in the Multiverse. It is a surreal, always-changing plane whose geography can mirror the thoughts and potential futures of its inhabitants.[1]

History

Pre-Mending

Centuries ago, the Meditation Plane was a mysterious realm that could only be accessed from Dominaria by skilled servants of the Madaran empire.[2]

Tetsuo Umezawa had practiced with Ayesha Tanaka for years to discover how to physically travel to the Meditation Plane. After killing the emperor's assassin Ramses Overdark in the Imperial Shrine on Madara, the champion used this skill to flee fully into the Meditation Plane. Bolas tracked the energy that Tetsuo carried—Lord Dark's essence—and projected his mind to the realm and leaving his body unprotected. In the Meditation Plane Tetsuo revealed the full extent of his plan, having destroyed Madara's rich and constant mana flow to rob Bolas of his body and unleashing Dark's essence in a living attack on Bolas's mind. The champion cleaved the elder dragon's spirit in half and narrowly escaped to Madara, just as the destructive power released in the Planeswalker's death tore and collapsed the very boundaries of the realm.[2]

Post-Mending

Sarkhan Vol visited the Meditation Plane following his assignment at the Eye of Ugin. He was debriefed by Bolas as he traveled from the Pools of Becoming to Bolas's Donjon, where he found the dragon reconstructing the unconscious body of Tezzeret.[3]

Vraska visited the Meditation Plane following an invitation she had received on Ravnica. There, Bolas offered her leadership over the Golgari if she traveled to Ixalan and successfully located the Immortal Sun.[4]
