What happened to Domri?
Lore forum
Posted on May 23, 2014, 8:41 a.m. by Ruric
hi, i was reading online about Domri Rade 's story that led him to ignite his spark leaving me a conclusion that the Gruuls could know a way to ignite the spark of someone and the questions that what happened to Domri Rade during the story and the ending of the block lorewise?

And clearly, it did.
Domri didn't tell anyone how he escaped the ritual; all the shaman that was overseeing Domri's ritual understood was that some law of the wild allowed Domri to escape from the pit without ever digging himself out. Domri and Domri alone knows that he can shift from plane to plane.

It just ends, with Domri looking forward to smashing stuff.

Each block doesn't cover a very long period of time, maybe a couple years at most. Domri is still young, probably not even 15, and like GoldGhost012 said, the last time we saw him he basically just wanted to explore the Blind Eternities.
In case you haven't seen it yet, here's the story of how Domri became a Planeswalker: http://www.wizards.com/magic/magazine/article.aspx?x=mtg/daily/ur/232

thanks, meecht and im glad to hear that, that means we will hear from Domri Rade in the future, i think he is a very good asset for the planeswalker tean and represents very well the Gruul colors, in fact woild like to hear from him soon even thou i know it wont be any time soon...but would be nice if he can meet Sarkhan Vol IMO

Just a quick note... or more of a prediction....
Domri awoke to find himself on a Plane inhabited with Elves, who mentioned "Cylia".
This is a reference to Alara.
As such, when we next see Domri, it is quire possible/probable that it will be in a set that revisits Alara.

Is domri a orc or just a green skinned human? I have always wondered.

TristieHat well that's quite a bit of warpaint, what happened to mtg's orcs anyways? The last time we heard about orcs was coldsnap? Wait no ice age? One of the two im sure.

Domri is human. The URL I posted earlier is Domri's story, and Part 2 has a bigger picture of him.
The greenish tint is due to the lighting in the area around him. It's just a low-light effect.

@meecht lol, thanks for clearing that up, welp I feel quite retarded now, but what did happen to the orcs?

Nothing really happened to the orcs. They've never been that big of a deal in MTG as far as lore goes, and so they don't exist on every plane. It isn't so much that something happened to them as we just haven't gone to a plane where they live in a while.
Some of the promo art work for Khans of Tarkir has me thinking that orcs may well be a part of the next block, though.

i think at some point Domri Rade will meet Garruk Wildspeaker and will become a strech relationship like master and disciple something like that, would be interesting IMO....maybe he can help Garruk to control himself who knows....

A spark is ignited when the person is in extremely high emotions, usually as a Fight or Flight response that causes them to Planeswalk away.
Domri Rade went through a ritual that Gruul boys experience in order to be considered men within their tribe. It's not so much that the Gruul know how to do it, but that the ritual is so intense that it can cause a spark to ignite.
