Vodalia was the vast, underwater country of Merfolk and sea creatures in the Voda Sea surrounding Sarpadia. It was destroyed by raiding creatures called Homarids. Early Vodalians worshipped Svyelun, the goddess of the Pearl moon. Vodalia was reborn after its ruler, Empress Galina, emerged thousands of years into the future and defeated the merfolk kingdom of Etlan Shiis, reforming her empire as New Vodalia.[1] The emblem of New Vodalia is the Pearl Trident.
Near the end of Apocalypse, Yawgmoth took the form of a huge deathcloud that killed everything it touched, which included most of Vodalia.[2] The planeswalker Bo Levar sacrificed his life to prevent the cloud from reaching the Eliterates, an artistic commune set up in a deep trench to escape from Vodalian society. The Eliterates were instrumental in rebuilding Vodalian society.[3][4] The Vodalian Empire still tends to be insular. The scholarly Volshe caste are the exception, using education as an antidote to xenophobia.[5]
