Information
Plane Dominaria
Part of Vodalia, Voda Sea, the Domains

The Eliterate Colony is a Vodalian merfolk enclave in a deep trench in the Voda Sea. It was founded by outcast artists, musicians, and poets escaping the tyranny of Empress Galina, and is located 60 leagues from the Vodalian capital.[1]

History

Near the end of Phyrexian Invasion of Dominaria, Yawgmoth took the form of a huge deathcloud that killed everything it touched, which included most of Vodalia.[2] Galina was one of the many casualties, ending her thousand-year reign. The planeswalker Bo Levar sacrificed his life to prevent the cloud from reaching the Eliterate commune set up in a deep trench to escape from Vodalian society. Following a brief period of chaos, the reigns of government were taken up by the Emperor Omen, a moderate captain of the Imperial army - in reality, the Eliterate actor Destry. "Omen" rebuilt New Vodalia into a democratic, benevolent society until he was unfortunately killed by great shark - although this was a staged death using illusory magic. The Eliterates were thus instrumental in rebuilding Vodalian society before they returned to their trench to reestablish their artistic colony.[1][3]
