The Circle of Loyalty is a magical artifact found on the plane of Eldraine.[1]

Description

The Circle is a legendary artifact located at the heart of Castle Ardenvale. It is a magical ring of eternally burning silver fire. To be named a knight of Ardenvale, aspirants must walk through the flame, for its magic can detect selfish people and prideful motives. Those who pass through the flame unscathed are deemed worthy and knighted at the center of the ring itself. Those who are burned are quickly pulled out and healed, but rarely are they allowed to attempt the trial a second time. The Circle of Loyalty imbues knights and mages of Ardenvale with the power to heal their allies and smite their enemies with holy fire. The magic of loyalty is stronger when cast in groups and forges an unseen bond between knights that innately empowers them to protect one another. Oaths that invoke the Circle are imbued with magical certainty, and any who would dare break such an oath is cast out of Ardenvale at once.[1]

Its status after the fall of the Courts during New Phyrexia's Invasion of the Multiverse is unknown.[2]

Trivia

  • The Circle of Loyalty is a reference to the Arthurian legend of the Round Table around which King Arthur and his knights used to congregate.
