Fyndhorn was a densely forested area in the southeast of Terisiare at the time of Dominaria's Ice Age.
Description
Fyndhorn was known for its natural beauty. The conifers' green needles and the deciduous trees' deep brown leaves glowed in muted light, a beautiful sight.[1] It hosted dripping pines, and the air smelled of cedar, with sandy paths leading through the trees and velvet grass covering the clearings.[2] Fyndhorn was located on a landbridge stretching to the remains of Argoth. It was home to elves and druids who worshiped Freyalise as a goddess of nature.
Kelsinko was the main city in the forest. It was located near the southern coast of Terisiare, in what was once Citanul.
History
At the Start of the Ice Age, Fyndhorn grew in the wreckage of Argoth's shadow.[2] As the massive glaciers absorbed large amounts of water, the sea levels sank, revealing Fyndhorn from the ocean floor. The land, formerly seabed, flourished when exposed to the cool air of Terisiare, and was eventually covered in forest.
The elves who settled in Fyndhorn worshipped Freyalise and established trading ties with the neighboring nation of Kjeldor.[2]
After the World Spell cast by Freyalise, the Thaw arrived on Terisiare, and with it, the Flooding of Terisiare. During this event, the seawater levels rose once more, swallowing most of Fyndhorn, including Kelsinko, back into the ocean. The only area remaining clear of the waves after the flooding is the island of Korlis, which became a source of wine for New Argive.[3] Many of the forest's former inhabitants migrated to Yavimaya to establish a new home there.
Drowned Fyndhorn later inspired curses like "Fynhorn's fish!"[4]
