New Phyrexia's Invasion of the Multiverse

*(This article is both a proposal on how the aftermath of the Invasion, the Spark Rupture, and Omenpaths affect or don't affect the MSEVerse, as well as being a reference for how various planes and characters were affected by it.)*

**New Phyrexia's Invasion of the Multiverse** was a full scale invasion of many planes of the Multiverse as depicted in *March of the Machine*. At the beginning of the invasion, a replica of the Golgothian Sylex was activated before being taken into the Blind Eternities by Elspeth Tirel, setting into motion the Spark Rupture that caused many planeswalkers to lose their sparks. After the invasion, Omenpaths that had been opened by Realmbreaker remained open and traversable by planeswalkers and non-planeswalkers alike.

## The Filigree Sylex

The Filigree Sylex did tremendous damage to a large swath of the Multiverse, unpredictably weakening the spaces between planes and compromising the sparks of planeswalkers. While the range of this damage was immense, it was not infinite. Where the previous activation of the Sylex had created and been contained by The Shard of the Twelve Worlds, this Sylex created a similar area in the Multiverse, one not marked by the inability to planeswalk in or out of it, but by the ripples of damage caused between the Sylex, Realmbreaker, and switching of New Phyrexia and Zhalfir.

## Realmbreaker

The activation of the Sylex drew the attention of several parties. The Chiresian Empire saw many of its developing territories suffer damage from the effects of the Sylex and turned its attention fully on the impending Phyrexian threat. When the invasion began, Emperor Tzhai and Azamir were able to intercept many of Realmbreaker's limbs, cutting off the invasion from many planes the Chiresian Empire had their eyes on before they could even begin, and many other planes besides.

## Omenpaths

Multiversal Omenpaths began opening in various planes after the phasing out of Realmbreaker. These Omenpaths are highly variable, some temporary, some permanent, some moving, some large, some small, most dangerous. While the Omenpaths are most highly concentrated in areas where the Realmbreaker invaded, they may appear anywhere within the Sylex's blast zone, and are rumored to rarely appear even in areas untouched by either.

## Defense of the Multiverse

### Arkadai

When Phyrexians invaded Arkadai on the Day of Exalted Madness, the virtual plane did not properly simulate the glistening oil. The invaders were quickly dispatched by Ensouled adventurers, who failed to find any use for the clumpy, corrosive goo that fell from their bodies on death. The event would be remembered as a creative but poorly executed joke.

### The Chiresian Empire

Emperor Tzhai had long considered Phyrexians to be the greatest threat to the Multiverse and had sought methods to reverse or prevent the effects of glistening oil. Legions of soldiers in various experimental defenses against the oil were deployed at the invasion points where the Realmbreaker touched down in the Empire, with one group of planeswalkers outfitted with the limited amount of Hexgold the Empire was able to acquire covering the areas where defenses would begin to break. After the invasion, much of the Halo scattered by the angels of New Capenna is confiscated by the Empire, in order to be adequately distributed to its citizens and give the Empire enough of the substance to try to learn its secrets.

### Tirvana

While Phyrexians invaded Tirvana, due to the immense size of the plane the invasion force landed nowhere near civilization, and was unable to locate it before the Phyrexian forces were disabled by the death of Elesh Norn.
