Orvada, also known as the Orvadan Empire, is a merchant empire rivalling Benalia on Dominaria.[1][2] It forms part of the the Domains. Orvada is also the name of its main city.[3]
Description
The empire consists of a stretch of islands running north to south in the Voda Sea, halfway between Aerona and the Burning Isles.[4] The two main islands are Denawa in the north and Walassa in the south.[5] The city of Orvada, on Walassa, houses a campus of the Tolarian Academy[6] Another city is Lucassa, famous for its lighthouse.[7]
Off the western coast of Walassa lies Vesuva.[8] North lies Kieve.[9]
History
Two generations after the return of Galina in c. 3200 AR, and her subsequent takeover of Etlan Shiis, the Orvadan fisherman Tarin participated in a plot to have her overthrown.[10] This plot must have failed in some manner, as Galina lived 1000 years longer.
In c. 3500 AR, Joryev of Orvada was the most mysterious lieutenant of Torsten Von Ursus, and the founder of House Joryev of Benalia on the continent of Aerona.[3]
After the second Phyrexian Invasion of Dominaria, the merchant lords of Orvada made peace with Benalia and furnished food and supplies to the Serran troops led by Lyra Dawnbringer.[11]
