The Weatherlight was a great ship capable of moving from plane to plane. This ship was designed by Urza Planeswalker as one of the main parts of the Legacy and proved to be a key part in the efforts to save Dominaria from the Phyrexian invaders.
The Weatherlight was invented by Urza in the Tolarian Academy and was built out of Thran metal and the Weatherseed, the seed of the oldest magnigoth tree of Yavimaya. The thran metal rack was forged in Shiv by the viashino and the seed was a present to Dominaria from Multani. Its main power source came from a powerstone that had been infused with the white mana from Serra's Realm before it collapsed.
Urza set out to breed the perfect human for his perfect ship. He first put humans into his fast time zones, but this ended up in almost fatal mental complications such as complete and utter insanity. He eventually figured out that he must breed the generations in real time, and not in slow or fast time zones. He began experiments on the Capashen Clan of Benalia, which eventually resulted in the birth of Gerrard Capashen.
In an effort to spare the Weatherlight from the attentions of Phyrexia, Urza entrusted the ship in the hands of a wealthy Zhalfirin family. Sisay inherited the ship from her family after they were mysteriously killed by the Lord of the Wastes. Gerrard eventually joined the crew of the ship, and was later instrumental in rescuing Sisay from Rath. During this time many pieces of the Legacy were integrated into Weatherlight.
On Mercadia, the ship was upgraded with the Power Matrix and Bones of Ramos. It was during this time that Weatherlight was also instrumental in freeing the peoples of Mercadia from their Phyrexian oppressors.
During the Phyrexian Invasion, Weatherlight was ever at the center of Urza's plans for the defense of Dominaria. The ship was destroyed by the Primeval Crosis, only to be reborn as a completely sentient being. The ship was destroyed a final time over the skies of Urborg while defending Dominaria from the arrival of Yawgmoth. It is possible that part of Weatherlight lives on inside the planeswalker Karn.
