In Magic:The Gathering, Dominaria is a plane where many other planes intersect (the Dominian Nexus). Also known as the "Song of Dominia", Dominaria has 2.5 times the surface area of the Earth, but is mostly covered in oceans. Notable continents include Terisiare, setting of the Brothers' War and Ice Age, Corondor, Jamuraa, Shiv, and Aerona (also known as the Domains), as well as the island of Urborg.AeronaAerona, also known as the Domains, is a continent on the western hemisphere of Dominaria. Six thousand miles east of Terisiare. A handfull of continents surrounded by thousands of islands. Some locations include:AvenantAn island north of Benalia, Avenant is almost impossible to approach as it is fiercely protected by an army of female archers and ballista. It once formed a part of Benalia, but was lost after an insult by an unwise Joryev Clanleader. Others say it was a Ternsev leader who fell in love with an Avenant prince's daughter. She did not take well to her kidnapping, and neither did her father. Avenant is a Matriarchy led by a suzeraine. Avenant's archers are also trained as poets, so that each arrow is guided by a fragment of verse.BenaliaBenalia is a militaristic nation in Aerona.The empire lies on the continent Aerona, bordered by the Hurloon Mountains/Red Iron Mountains/Ironclaw Mountains in the east and the Llanowar Forest in the Southeast. It's located east of the Spice Isles, south of Avenant Isle, and north of Andros Bay and the Kb'Briann Highlands. This empire formed after the Ice Age, growing from the ashes of the Sheoltun Empire, equally militaristic and bent on expansion. It controls the Spice Isles and Terisiare. Benalia was founded by Torsten von Ursus. After his years among the Hurloon Minotaurs, he stumbled upon the blighted city of Benfosa which was a perfect place to implement his gathered wisdom and philosophies. He took up the reins of the great Horse Civilization and guided the ancestors of Benalia out of the ruins of the once-great Sheoltun Empire. Torsten chose the name Benalia, which means aspiration, proclaiming it's intent to rule the world. Using sometimes-brutal tactics he brought an entire nation into being using nothing than the force of his will and the brutal charisma of the natural leader. After succeeding in much of his goal, he died at the age of seventy-two, leaving behind the legendary Lost Edict, proclaiming that none of his seven lieutenants would follow him up as sole ruler of Benalia.Benalia CityThe seaport Benalia is characterized by the Seven Pillars, representing the seven ruling clans (Rosecot, Deniz, Tarmula, Ternsev, Capashen (notable for being the clan of Gerrard Capashen, the main character of the Weatherlight storyline), Joryev and Croger (Duelist online). It has a caste system that changes with the lunar year; the seven clans each rule a different division of the empire each year. The capital has a population exceeding 200,000 and is the largest city in Aerona. The most popular religion is the Church of Angelfire, of which over one fifth of all Benalkin identify themselves as menbers of. This is due to its similarity to the Church of Serra, which worshipped a planeswalker named Serra, whose worship was condemned in Benalia.DurkwoodDurkwood is a verdant region between Llanowar and Benalia.ForiysDomain of uncertain location.

The Hurloon Mountains, part of the metal rich Red Iron Mountains, are mostly known for its habitation by hairy tattood Minotaurs. Torsten von Ursus' belief that these minotaurs were more than savage beasts was revolutionary at the time (and still is among the less educated). Von Ursus studied minotaur philosophy in the Hurloon Mountains for several years.Ironclaw MountainsHome to the Ironclaw orcs, goblins and scattered dwarven clans, this relativly mineral rich mountain range forms the northeastern edge of central South AeronaKb'Briann HighlandsRegion once controlled by the Order of the Closed Fist.
