Karona

Karona was the manifestation of all Dominarian magic, brought into being by the combination of Akroma, Phage, and Zagorka all dying in the same place at the same time. During her brief existence she further devastated the already war-torn Otaria, and disrupted the very fabric of magic on Dominaria.

Karona's very existence tormented her. She was plagued by the question of her life's meaning; the chaos Karona caused stemmed from the need to discover her place in the world. Karona became misguided in her role as magic incarnate, reflecting basic human emotions such as fear, greed, and aspiration. Karona discovered that nearly every creature, human or beast, praised her completely. Karona soon assumed that due to her phenomenal power through her command of magic and the praise she received, she must be a goddess.

The confused Karona attempted to seek out one who would equal her in both status and power - someone from whom she could learn. Karona searched in five portals for her equal, each representing a color of magic. Through these portals came those who could not equal Karona - Teferi, Lowallyn, the mortally wounded Yawgmoth, Fiers, and Multani. Her meeting with Yawgmoth scared Karona - she was told that the only god to exist on Dominaria was Gaea, who was hurt by Karona's presence. Karona began to liken herself to Yawgmoth, and decided that if the gods would not accept her, then she would destroy them and assume power.

Karona attempted to take over Otaria by gathering those who praised her as an army. She wracked the continent with war, as the number who opposed her rule dwindled. Kamahl, who had been instructed to stop Karona by the mysterious Lord Macht, stood against Karona with Lowallyn and Kuberr. Both Numena were killed and Kamahl unwillingly bent the knee to Karona, unarmed and unwilling to fight. Ironically, it was the two friends Karona had truly trusted within Otaria which betrayed her. Sash and Waistcoat, the two un-men, pierced Karona's belly with the Mirari sword. Both un-men were acting under advice from Lord Macht, who then arrived and revealed he was in fact Karn. He then took Karona to his artificial plane Argentum. The Mirari sword was removed, and Karona regressed to the three women who created her, then into Jeska, due to the manifestation of her planeswalker's spark.
