Azar's body lay paralyzed, with both Lim Dul's soul and Azar's soul battling for control of the body. With no target to destroy, the spell blew up and decimated the city. But at the last second, Lim Dul got into Azar's body, and the spell was cast. Azar's powerful spell was aimed at Lim Dul's soul, not his body, so that the spell would lock Lim Dul's soul into his body and then drain his power. He planned to transfer his soul into Azar's body. Lim Dul's plan was the same as how he had escaped death from being beheaded nearly 20 years earlier: he would transfer his soul into another's body. Lim Dul was nearby, and seemed to be doing nothing. Once there, Azar cast a powerful spell that was aimed at Lim Dul. Even with that said, Azar escaped the secret sanctuary and ran to Ardestan's aid. But Sahrmal said that neither of them had been trained to do so. Azar, feeling a need to save it, asked Sahrmal if they should go. The city of Ardestan, the last city standing, was a bastion of hope for those who were alive from Lim Dul's rampage. One of these students was named Azar, but the name of the other has not been revealed. In fact, Sahrmal had been alive all this time, but he had been training two new protectors for Shandalar. His conquest lasted for years, and even after every major location and city had been destroyed, those native to Shandalar refused to surrender, even without the help of Sahrmal. Lim Dul appeared 12 years later on Shandalar with an army of undead, and his plan was to seize control of the whole plane. As for Lim Dul, it is said he was beheaded. Sahrmal's followers then assumed Sahrmal to be dead. He and Lim Dul had a duel and nearly killed each other. The plane's protector, Kenan Sahrmal, tried to drive out Leshrac, Tevesh Szat and Lim Dul, but failed in completely getting rid of Lim Dul. Tevesh Szat, Leshrac, and Lim Dul took advantage of this and escaped The Shard. Freyalise then noticed that Shandalar was going to drift into the Shard for a brief period, then leave to the rest of the Multiverse where it had came from. When Dominaria, Azoria, and 10 other planes were shut out from the rest of the multiverse at the end of the Brother's War, Freyalise and several other planeswalkers were trying to end Dominaria's Ice Age. Shandalar was a focal point in what was known as The Shard of Twelve Worlds.

He created barriers so that other planeswalkers could not physically be present on Shandalar.

He knew that because the plane was so rich with mana, eventually a planeswalker would want to dominate it. The planeswalker Kenan Sahrmal was a protector of Shandalar, nearly immortal, and was one of the few on the plane who knew about the outside Multiverse. It is also said that creatures created from pure mana still thrive on Shandalar, in the form of Dragons. Because of the large amount of mana, it is common for normal people to use spells in daily life. It is said that Shandalar is an artificial plane, but because of its rich mana, this is not true.
