- Yawgmoth is recalled from exile by Rebbec to cure Glacian.

- Months later, after the city is rebuilt, the Thran Alliance sends delegates to Halcyon. Dwarves, elves, minotaurs, viashino, cat people, and barbarians reveal that their countries have all been ravaged by Yawgmoth and his eugenicist followers during their exile. The Alliance tells Halcyon to rid Yawgmoth of his privileges, or they will declare war. The council decides Yawgmoth can stay, but with 15 against 13 votes, with the two deciding votes being those of Rebbec and Yawgmoth himself. Yawgmoth overthrows the council and starts to prepare for war.
- Dyfed takes the imprisoned Thran council along with a host of Glacian's goblins to the plane of Mercadia.
- Yawgmoth is shown Phyrexia by Dyfed, who opens a stable portal between that plane and Dominaria.
- The Null Moon is brought into orbit.
- Yawgmoth defeats the Thran Alliance, but Rebbec closes the portal from Dominaria to Phyrexia. Yawgmoth and his followers are trapped on the other side.
