Argivia is the capital of New Argive, part of the Terisian Isles on the world of Dominaria.
Description
Argivia is located on the east coast of New Argive. The greatest fortification in all of Dominaria, Argivia is surrounded by a system of walls and crenellations, powered by clockwork and powerstones that can move and adapt to meet any conceivable threat.[1]
History
The first Argivia, originally the renamed city of Kjeld, held a steep, bowl-shaped harbor, and inns such as "Penkin's", "the Acorn and Hammer", and "the Midus Well". The Argivian University was located here. Like Efuan Pincar, it celebrated the "Feast of Fruits". It was a wine city, and imported burgundy wines from the fertile island of Korlis to the south, although "Penregon beer", carrying the name of the ancient capital of Argive, was also available for purchase. It held streets like "Ironmonger Lane", "Lanyard Street" and "Bowline Square".[2]
The city of Argivia, formerly Kjeld, was ruined in the Phyrexian Invasion of Dominaria in a raid led by the Compleated scholar Godwyn. Godwyn killed all of the city's inhabitants, and destroyed almost all of its books, although he was betrayed and killed by the Compleated woman Kari.[3]
During the Rift Era, a second city carrying the same name, Argivia, was built on the former site of the fallen city. During New Phyrexia's Invasion of the Multiverse, Argivia again became overrun with Phyrexians led by the sleeper agent Stenn.
