The Martyrs' Tomb. Art by Anthony S. Waters.
The Martyrs' Tomb, also known as the Heroes' Memorial, was a monument erected by the planeswalker Freyalise on the shores of Urborg in memory of those who died during the Phyrexian Invasion of Dominaria.
Description[ | ]
The monument listed the names of those who died during the war, and featured busts of Urza and Gerrard Capashen at its highest point.
It has the following inscription:
Honor the brave who fought
Honor the dead who fell
Honor the world they saved
History[ | ]
People used to go on pilgrimages to it, as a symbol of hope in terrible times. The site was still visited by many Dominarians at the time of Karona.[1] However, sixty years after the Mending it had been desecrated by Belzenlok's Cabal, who called it the Fools' Tomb.[2][3] Belzenlok himself has taken his claws to the primary inscription, engraving demonic characters as a message of warning to the world.[4]
