Silundi, or the Silundi Sea, is the vast stretch of coastal waters that surround the islands of Ondu on the plane of Zendikar. Its channels and bays connect Ondu’s three major islands— Agadeem, Beyeen, and Jwar Isle — to the mainland and each other.

Geography

Bay of Beyeen

The Bay of Beyeen is the wide channel separating Agadeem and Beyeen.[1] It serves as a major passage for traders and explorers navigating between the two islands and the mainland.

Agadeem

Agadeem Black mana - Ondu’s largest island. It is best known for its hedron fields and cryptic tombs:

  • Fields of Agadeem — open plains scattered with ancient hedron ruins that distort natural laws. Visitors report strange visions, such as drifting masks.
  • Crypt of Agadeem Black mana — an elaborate underground tomb containing the sealed Cryptlock. The crypt is from the Eldrazi era, meaning it is from around -1400 AR.[2]
    • Crypt Maw Black mana — a vast bat-infested cavern that marks the tomb’s haunted entrance.
    • Cryptlock Black mana — the innermost sealed chamber, binding thousands of dead within its walls.
  • Kabira White mana — once a kor hunting plateau and crossroads settlement near the hedron fields. It was destroyed by Ulamog’s brood.[3]

Beyeen

Beyeen Blue mana is a medium-sized island that sits between Agadeem and Jwar Isle. It is volcanic and geothermally active, with vibrant rainforests nestled among its lava flows.

  • Crown of Talib Red mana — a range of floating volcanic peaks named for Talib, the kor god of the earth.
    • Boilbasin Blue manaRed mana — superheated tide pools formed where seawater meets volcanic springs. Dragons are known to bathe here to cleanse their scales.[4]
    • Mount Valakut Red mana — the Crown’s largest and most volatile volcano.
  • Zulaport Blue manaBlack mana — a busy coastal trade port populated by mages, explorers, and artisans of many races. Zulaport was once controlled by the vampire Indorel.[1]

The Serpent’s Maw

The Serpent’s Maw is the storm-lashed sea that isolates Jwar Isle from the rest of Ondu.

Jwar Isle

Jwar Isle Blue manaBlack mana - known as the Isle of Secrets, the smallest and most remote of Ondu’s major islands. Shrouded in storms and myth, it holds many hidden wonders:

  • Jwari Faduun — massive pre-Eldrazi stone heads scattered across the isle, where pilgrims bury their dead in reverence.[5]
  • The Jwari Ruins Blue mana - half-submerged ruins riddled with pitfalls and traps, left behind when the skyclave rose into the sky.[6]
  • The Ondu Skyclave White mana — an ancient kor ruin containing ancient labs, lethal traps, and the former lair of Grakmaw.[7]
  • Strand of Jwar Blue mana — a pure blue strand of aether that glows and beams skyward from a saltwater pool.
