Orim was one of the core members of the Weatherlight crew, performing numerous duties on the ship.[3]

History

Born of the desert, Orim learned the ways of a healer, and traveled to New Argive to study at the Argivian University to train in the Samite arts. This is where she first met Hanna of Tolaria, and they quickly became friends. They joined the Weatherlight Crew at the same time, where Orim became the ship's chief healer, quartermaster, tailor, and interpreter.[1][4] She played a key role in saving the crew in Mercadia, where she learned to use Cho-Arrim water magic. With Cho-Manno, she actively worked on rousing the peoples' hearts, leading to the Revolution on Mercadia. She also helped significantly during the Phyrexian Invasion when she found a cure for the Phyrexian plague. She survived the war and ultimately returned to Mercadia to be with her love, Cho-Manno.

Oriss was a woman who followed the Samite tradition founded in Mercadia by Orim; she was Orim's daughter.[2]

Planes visited

Though not a planeswalker, Orim traveled through the Multiverse as a crewmember of the Skyship Weatherlight.

Trivia

  • Originally conceived as a minor character, Weatherlight co-creator Mike Ryan named her "Oram" (MaRo backward) as a joke, but the team kept the name, changing the A to an I for readability.[5]
