Physical Description[edit]
The Myr are a race of small constructs. Their heads range from needle sharp stingers to graceful and eagle like to blunt ax shapes. They are typically smooth and reflective except copper Myr along with other exceptions that are not as common, which tend to be rusted and scraped. Their hands varied tremendously. One could have a standard 5-digit hand and another could have sickles for hands.
History[edit]
The Myr are an artificial race, created by an artificer named Memnarch. They dwell on Mirrodin, an artificial planet scorched own to the darksteel bedrock by 4 suns. Eventually, the Myr rebelled against Memnarch after years of being used as fuel sources, spies, and laborers. Little did they know that they soon would be serving under increasingly evil beings: the Phyrexian praetors. Jin-Gitaxias, bent on recreating the world in his perfected image, Elesh Norn, a portal architect seeking to bring Phyrexia to Mirrodin, Sheoldred, twisting the dreams of the Myr to her own grim designs, Vorinclex, hunting the foes of Phyrexia to extinction, and Urabrask, the mysterious master of the forges in which the flesh of Phyrexia is made. At the center of it all, Yawgmoth, the creator of Phyrexia. The Phyrexians made their way to Mirrodin and began to warp it with their "glistening oil," the blood of Phyrexia. Some Myr began to suspect the invasion, but most had been ensnared by Phyrexian magic. The future for Myr and Mirrodin is grim and uncertain, and Phyrexia has begun its advance.
Attitudes and Beliefs[edit]
Myr were created as mindless servitors and act out a single role without question. However, there is said to be intelligence and emotion behind their sullen, mechanical eyes. Because of this, they have no society. Since the fall of Memnarch, many Myr continued to fulfill their duties regardless of having no master while others simply shut down to await commands that would never come. Some developed a consciousness and free will. At the start of the Phyrexian invasion, many were adapted to the Phyrexian side and equipped with sinew grafts, ichor, and necrogen.
Myr Names[edit]
Myr names are taken on from other races, as their standard names are often number sequences like"11010" or "01010".
