Nicol Bolas, the ancient dragon Planeswalker, planned this all along. And the armies of Bant clash with the horrors swarming over their borders, defending their homeland in the name of their guardian angels.Īt each front, the shards' legions pummel one another with powerful magics, calling on every spell they know to defeat the other shards. Naya's forces follow the elves' decrees and march out of the jungle, searching for answers to the Anima's prophetic visions. The warriors of Jund extend their "life hunts" to the newfound game throughout Alara's vast hunting grounds. Hordes of Grixis undead mount an assault to maim, enslave, and drain the life energy from other shards. The forces of Esper invade the other shards looking for carmot, an element necessary to create more of their dwindling etherium. Waves of raw power crash across the former planar boundaries, bringing long-forgotten magics to all the shards and mingling them in unprecedented ways.Īs the boundaries between the shards dissolve, cultures clash and wars ensue. Their worlds and cultures evolved independently: Bant, an orderly, sunlit kingdom Esper, a hegemony of wizards and sphinxes Grixis, an undead-infested hellscape Jund, a primordial hunting-ground ruled by dragons and Naya, a lush jungle paradise.īut now they have converged into one, and the rejoined plane flows with all five colors of mana once more. The five shards of Alara were separate worlds for centuries, each one flowing with only three colors of mana. But can he be stopped before this plane is destroyed? Now that the baseline is done, here are some of the more fleshed out options! Check this out for more info and art on them: MAGIC STORYĪLARA (Humans, Vedalken, Goblins, Leonin, Elves)Īlara's five shards are one again, igniting new magics and mayhem. This is a "what if" question, nothing more.Īlso I'm aware that many settings are already semi-official through the released Planeshift articles you can still argue it should get an official book if you think it deserves one.
I'd prefer if this thread doesn't get bogged down in that debate, and I agree that other settings like Dragonlance, Greyhawk and Dark Sun get a book first. Quick caveat (or rule) if you feel like Magic doesn't deserve another setting book, take a deep breath and don't post anything. And I thought, if Magic the Gathering were to ever get another setting book, which one of its (many) planes deserves one?
Hi all! So I came up with this idea when the trailer for "Thrones of Eldraine" came out, as it looked like a "faerie tale fantasy" setting I could actually use for Dungeons and Dragons.
