Cridhe is a small plane, whose land area is composed mostly of a single island. It was the setting of the novel The Cursed Land.

Description

Cridhe was created by a being called the Maker and was home to humans and elves, and barious small animals.

While things were dark and miserable during the time the novel is set, the healed wizard Nazir had a prophetic vision of what the plane would look like 1000 years in the future. That future is depicted on the Plane card Inys Haen.

History

The Parting

Instigated by Malvos, the wizard Nohr destroyed the tree trying to become a planeswalker. When it was destroyed, the stability of the plane was violated. The ancient curse of the god who created this plane became true. The isle broke into two halves, separating the Clan. Nohr and his descendants were cursed with madness.

The Mending of the Clan Tree

As foretold by Haen, the Mending of the Clan Tree occurred when the lines of Haen and Nohr finally met. 520 years after the Parting, the Keeper Aylith used her powers to break the curse on Nazir. Together they spoke the litany of light and recreated the Clan Tree of Cridhe from the last existing acorn.

The tree experiences intense mana showers.
