==Description==
==Description==
The atmosphere of Kaladesh is saturated with Aether, whose influence twists the world into swirling shapes and patterns. The aethersphere may be obeserved as twisting swirls in the sky. From time to time, this Aether comes down to the earth via rain or similar weather events. The entire ecosystem is influenced by it and grows with it in similar swirling and twisting patterns. Refined aether is the primary power source for most of Kaladesh. In [[Ghirapur]], the raw aether is collected through large towers, refined and then pumped through large pipelines all over the city.

==History==
===United kingdoms===
Centuries ago, Kaladesh was made up of of eleven kingdoms, and inventors sought the patronage of these courts. Over the years, social and political entanglements between these court inventors bound them together in an informal network. When the kingdoms warred in a massive bloody conflict, the inventors used their influence to negotiate a peace, and [[Ghirapur]] was founded on neutral ground. Eleven inventors - one of each kingdom - became the first [[Consulate]].<ref name="Visual">[[Jay Annelli]] (2022), "''[[Magic: The Gathering - The Visual Guide]]''", DK</ref>


Kaladesh is ruled by [[the Consulate]]. Its forces and works are nearly omnipresent. Since the discovery of harnessing aether by Avaati Vya, the Consulate has worked to ensure that this refined aether is accessible to all, leading to an era referred to as the Great Aether Boom. The Consulate also heavily trafficks use of the Aether, assigning its use among the citizens. They are opposed by [[the renegades|renegades]], who believe that the Consulate constricts their freedoms.

===Inventors' Renaissance===
The current era is known as the Inventors' Renaissance, with the Consuls promoting and patronizing new discoveries and scientific studies, awarding the most impressive during the Inventors' Fair. The Consulate also heavily regulates use of the aether, assigning its use among the citizens. They are opposed by [[Renegades]], who believe that the Consulate is corrupt and constricts their freedoms. At least two members {{-}} [[Tezzeret]] and [[Kambal]] {{-}} were working against the good of Kaladesh, giving the renegades good reason to be suspicious.
 
The tensions boiled over during the [[Inventors' Fair]], coinciding with the return of [[Chandra Nalaar]] to her homeplane, when the Consulate confiscated the entire swath of inventions. Much of this was a cover for [[Tezzeret]] to obtain the [[Planar Bridge]] and without his initiative the Consulate buckled to the revolution. Renegade leader [[Pia Nalaar]], thought deceased, was instated in Kambal's position, giving a stronger voice for freer use of aether.
 
===Phyrexian invasion===
Kaladesh was a target in [[New Phyrexia's Invasion of the Multiverse]].<ref name="Panel">{{YouTubeRef|-y3G-nFhN0I|First Look at March of the Machine|channel=[[Magic: The Gathering]]|date=February 19, 2023}}</ref> While most of the city of Ghirapur was evacuated, Pia worked with the city's artisans to defend the aetherflux reservoir, which if breached would destroy the city.

Kaladesh is a plane where aether manifests more than on other planes, being present in the atmosphere. Kaladesh was introduced in Origins as the home plane of Chandra Nalaar.[2] Slightly over a year later, it was the setting for a block of the same name.

Description

The atmosphere of Kaladesh is saturated with Aether due to greater proximity to the boundaries of the Blind Eternities. The influence and cyclical passage of Aether through the world below is the driving force of the plane. The aethersphere may be observed as twisting swirls in the sky. From time to time, this Aether comes down to the earth via rain or similar weather events. The entire ecosystem is influenced by it and grows with it in similar swirling and twisting patterns. Refined aether is the primary power source for most of Kaladesh. In Ghirapur, the raw aether is harvested from the sky via large aetherspires placed on mountaintops or thopters, refined, and then pumped through large pipelines all over the city.

Kaladesh is an ethnically diverse[3] plane where natural mages are rare. Work that would be done with magic on other planes is instead accomplished through devices.[4] The automatons, thopters and other artifact creatures of the plane are all fueled by the aether. These artifacts are built as much for beauty as for function. Inventors are the most valued members of society.

Natural mages are a rarity on Kaladesh and are regarded with suspicion and dread. Fire magic is strictly banned, and pyromancy punishable with a death sentence, since pyromantic magic interacts dangerously with the aether in the air.[5][6] Religion plays next to no role in the lives of the plane's people, and magic derived from the power of the gods is unknown.

Kaladesh is ruled by the Consulate. Its forces and works are nearly omnipresent.

History

United kingdoms

Centuries ago, Kaladesh was made up of of eleven kingdoms, and inventors sought the patronage of these courts. Over the years, social and political entanglements between these court inventors bound them together in an informal network. When the kingdoms warred in a massive bloody conflict, the inventors used their influence to negotiate a peace, and Ghirapur was founded on neutral ground. Eleven inventors - one of each kingdom - became the first Consulate.[7]

Great Aether Boom

Since the discovery of harnessing aether by Avaati Vya sixty years ago, the Consulate reportedly has worked to ensure that this refined aether is accessible to all, leading to an era referred to as the Great Aether Boom. This happened around the same time as the Mending.[8]

Inventors' Renaissance

The current era is known as the Inventors' Renaissance, with the Consuls promoting and patronizing new discoveries and scientific studies, awarding the most impressive during the Inventors' Fair. The Consulate also heavily regulates use of the aether, assigning its use among the citizens. They are opposed by Renegades, who believe that the Consulate is corrupt and constricts their freedoms. At least two members — Tezzeret and Kambal — were working against the good of Kaladesh, giving the renegades good reason to be suspicious.

The tensions boiled over during the Inventors' Fair, coinciding with the return of Chandra Nalaar to her homeplane, when the Consulate confiscated the entire swath of inventions. Much of this was a cover for Tezzeret to obtain the Planar Bridge and without his initiative the Consulate buckled to the revolution. Renegade leader Pia Nalaar, thought deceased, was instated in Kambal's position, giving a stronger voice for freer use of aether.

Phyrexian invasion

Kaladesh was a target in New Phyrexia's Invasion of the Multiverse.[9] While most of the city of Ghirapur was evacuated, Pia worked with the city's artisans to defend the aetherflux reservoir, which if breached would destroy the city. Several days into the defense, Pia rendezvoused with Saheeli Rai, who confirmed that the reservoir was drawing the interest of the Phyrexian forces.[10]

In the aftermath of the Invasion, Kaladesh's denizens again began to question the Consulate's leadership.[11] Pia's responsibilities grew to include rebuilding the wartorn city.

When the Omenpaths opened across the Multiverse, Ghirapur was blessed with a wealth of stable Omenpaths to various planes.[12] The city was poised to become a center of Multiversal trade, travel, and industry. To that end, the Consulate began opening embassies on various planes to promote Kaladesh's culture and commerce.
