Ki'pamu is the capital of the plane of Zhalfir.
Description[ | ]
Ki'pamu is the center of Zhalfir's government, military, and culture. The city is built at the edge of a vast lake and rivers that end in the Buleusi Bay and connect the city with Kiingal. The royal city had miles of stupendous walls and a deep-water harbor, with minarets, bazaars, labyrinthine streets, and communal wells. The palace of Zhalfir was made of marble, and was built throughout several generations, as one proud monarch after another enlarged and improved it until it settled in its final state during the Mirage Wars.[1]
Known Locations[ | ]
- Leather Street - an area of poor, ramshackle cottages,[1]
- The Nobles' Quarter - full of mansions and towers, home of Ki'pamu's elite.[1]
History[ | ]
Mirage Wars[ | ]
During the Mirage Wars Ki’pamu was a stronghold for Zhalfirin resistance against Kaervek and withstood attacks by Jolrael’s dragons. Here the prophet Asmira, Rashida Scalebane, Sidar Jabari and Hakim Loreweaver met to start the rescue of Mangara.
Ki'pamu League[ | ]
The alliance of Jamuraan city-states under the leadership of Ki'pamu was called the Ki'pamu League. Although located on the far side of the continent, the League appears to be part of Zhalfir's sphere of influence. This alliance against the Keldon invasion included:
Phyrexia Invasion[ | ]
Ki'pamu had been phased out alongside the rest of north-western Jamuraa since the planeswalker Teferi wanted to spare it from the horrors of the Phyrexian Invasion. It was forever lost from Dominaria when Jeska destroyed the time rift over the Zhalfirin Void.
After New Phyrexia's Invasion of the Multiverse, Wrenn and Realmbreaker returned the phased-out Zhalfir to the multiverse by switching the landmass' place with that of New Phyrexia. Ki'pamu now exists as part of the plane of Zhalfir under the skies of Mirrodin.
