Shiv is the homeland of the Viashino and the Shivan Dragon. It lies on the northeastern part of the string of continents of which Jamuraa also forms a part. An inhospitable volcanic landmass, Shiv sits in an deep-ocean Ring of Fire which fuels the coastal waters to near boiling point. Only the Viashino know the secrets of how to navigate these inhospitable waters, much to the ire of the Shivans. Shiv is the most powerful source of red mana on Dominaria. The planeswalker Teferi phased out a large part of Shiv to secure it against Yawgmoth's invasion of Dominaria. Before, Shiv was also the location where Urza discovered the mana rig, a huge installation which could manufacture powerstones. With the help of the viashino and goblins this enabled him to create the Legacy. Darigaaz, the Igniter was the primeval dragon of Shiv.
