The Great Henge is a magical artifact found on the plane of Eldraine.[1]

Description[ | ]

The Great Henge is a large circle of enormous stone monoliths arranged in a variety of shapes and patterns, depending on when you visit it, that sits atop a jutting stone outcropping of Castle Garenbrig. The center of the Henge is dominated by a singular mountainous stone slab that acts as the gnomon of a massive sundial. At sunrise and sunset on certain dates, the shadows of the surrounding monoliths fall in such a way that the central stone becomes a magical gate to the depths of the wilds. The surrounding calendar stones can be lifted and moved to align with the desired time and location of the journey. Moving a monolith even slightly is a great feat of strength while moving several of them to the right positions to open the portal is enough to virtually guarantee a Garenbrig knighthood. Anyone who goes through at sunrise and fails to return at sunset might return in a year and a day; if they do not return then, they are considered lost forever.[1]

Its status after the fall of the Courts during New Phyrexia's Invasion of the Multiverse is unknown.[2]

Trivia[ | ]

  • The Great Henge is a reference to Stonehenge which plays a small role in some old Arthurian tales where it is implied to have magical properties.[3]
