The following has been quoted from
www.wizards.com:
At the end of the Brothers' War, a great explosion
rocked the entire globe. Tons of dust and debris floated into the
atmosphere. On a cosmic level, a barrier called the "shard" formed around
Dominaria and its nexus of planes. Even the almost-godlike planeswalkers
couldn't cross this barrier. Those inside it were trapped for eight
hundred years, and for eons, ice covered the entire globe. The plane of
Dominaria all but froze to death in the wasteland formed at the end of
that war. Then, a planeswalker named Freyalise cast her world-spell,
lifting the ice and bringing Spring to a world with only Winter. But with
this great change came great difficulty. Those who still lived on
Dominaria had adapted to life in the frozen wastes. With the thaw came
great floods and massive plagues. Those who lived on the coast had to give
up their homes and move farther inland. The barbarians in the mountains
had to doff their furs and adjust to the warming climate and spreading of
disease. And perhaps worst of all, a power-hungry necromancer named Lim-Dûl
raised an army of undead, intent on conquering the world. At the same
time, the shard was finally opened by the passing of a heavenly body, and
those planeswalkers trapped for hundreds of years left Dominaria.
