Aerona
Aerona, also known as the Domains, is a continent on the western hemisphere of Dominaria. Some locations include Benalia, Llanowar, Durkwood, and Oneah.
Llanowar
Llanowar is a forest on the continent of Aerona. It covers approximately one million square miles and is inhabited by the Llanowar Elves. The forest is divided into seven elfhames, or elvish kingdoms.
Benalia
Benalia is a militaristic nation in Aerona. It has a caste system that changes with the lunar year; the seven ruling clans, Rosecot, Deniz, Tarmula, Ternsev, Capashen (notable for being the clan of Gerrard, the main character of the Weatherlight storyline), Joryev, and Croger, each rule a different division of the empire each year. Its capital, Benalia City, 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. Benalia was founded by Torsten von Ursus.
Otaria
Otaria is a continent about the size of Australia on Dominaria. It was first introduced in the Odyssey expansion, and the storyline is set in Otaria up to the Scourge expansion.
In the story, the Mirari is a mysterious artifact from the land of Otaria that lends great power to the one who possesses it. Its possession by the Cabal and transfer to the pit fighter Kamahl is an important conflict in the storyline.
Sarpadia
Sarpadia is a continent in the southern hemisphere of Dominaria. It was the setting of the Fallen Empires set and is the home of planeswalker Tevesh Szat, Doom of Fools, or Tev Loneglade as he was once known. He changed his name to Tevesh Szat and began his mission to exterminate all life on Dominaria when his sister Tymolin was killed in a battle between the Order of the Ebon Hand and the Order of Leitbur.
Jamuraa
Jamuraa is an Africa-like supercontinent on Dominaria. Portals to Rabiah and Wildfire were once common on this continent. The sets Mirage and Visions were set in Jamuraa.
Zhalfir
Zhalfir is a powerful nation in Jamuraa. The planeswalker Teferi, who was one a student at Urza's Tolarian Academy, was once a court mage in Zhalfir.
Femeref
Femeref is a religious state on Jamuraa. It was originally a province created by the church due to a religious dispute in Zhalfir, but eventually grew apart from the militaristic kingdom.
Suq'Ata
Suq'Ata is a trading empire on Jamuraa. In ancient times, it annexed the mountains of Femeref bordering Zhalfir after hearing tales of mineral wealth deep within the mountains.
Corondor
Corondor is a Dominarian continent and was the setting of the Planeswalkeer War storyline. In this storyline, which is told in the comics and the Battlemage computer game by Acclaim, a planeswalker named Ravidel uses an artifact known as the Mox Beacon to lure other planeswalkers to Corondor. He trapped them there and forced them to battle until they were weak enough to be killed individually. There were six planeswalkers - three Conquerors, who wanted to take over Corondor for themselves, and three Defenders, who defended the land from the Conquerors - who fought in this war.
