Bamboo Realm

The Bamboo Realm was a superrealm made of chunks from other realms which had been claimed by the Bamboo Covenant in their inter-dimensional conquests.

The Bamboo Realm was created by the planeswalker Karn. His intellect and raw abilities allowed him to create an entire realm covered with only Bamboo. This realm was his own world, cut off from the rest of the Overworld, a place for him to think and meditate with out the constant annoyance of others.

At the time the only other inhabitants of the realm were peaceful pandas and other sentient peaceful beings.

Around the time of 2019 the Bamboo Realm became infested with an outside influence. The consequences of the Dimensional Wars, from 2012-2018, was felt across the multiverse, and the Bamboo Realm was hit by a plague too powerful for anyone to contain. The Realm was infested with Phyrexian Oil, a substance that fused with the Bamboo giving it uncharacteristic abilities. The most powerful ability gained from the Oil, was its newfound increase in growth. The speed of growth doubled initially, but eventually reached a tipping point in which the Bamboo would quadruple in size.

Along with the infestation came the Praetor's of the Realm. These beings all were infected with the Oil, and upheld the rule to continue the Oil's infestation and spread. These beings included Beaconstrips the Grand Celobite, Oddpee the Hidden, DooDooBrains the Whispering One, and IanRaduPaulSabin Core Auger. These creatures facilitated the spread of the Bamboo, and would cover multiple chunks with the plant.

The growth of the Bamboo became so harsh the entire Overworld became infected, resulting in time stoppages, and slowed time.

The issue is still prevalent, yet tame, as the Praetors are all at bay under treaty.
