"Time Streams"



(Magic: the Gathering. Artifact cycle. Book III.)





Prologue



Urza says he's sane. Perhaps he is. Measures of sanity

among planeswalkers are hard to come by. He has lived for

over three thousand years. He heals by merely willing it.

With a thought, he steps from world to world to world. His

very appearance is a matter of convenience, clothes and even

features projected by his mind. How can conventional notions

of sanity apply to a planeswalker?

Perhaps they cannot, but his madness began before he was

a planeswalker. Three thousand years ago, a mortal Urza

battled his mortal brother. Their sibling rivalry turned

fratricidal. So began the Brothers' War. In his rage to kill

Mishra, Urza enlisted the armies of the world, sank the isle

of Argoth, gutted the continent of Terisiare, and wiped

whole nations from the globe. He ushered in an ice age. In

repayment for all this madness, he became a planeswalker.

Urza says he regrets the destruction. True regret would

be a good sign.
