Kylem is a plane featured in the Battlebond set. Kylem is inspired by sports and games.[2]
Description
On this world, beings flock from all over the plane to the arena of Valor's Reach, where two-on-two combat is the pinnacle of sport.[3] The goal of the combatants isn't to kill their opponents outright, but to defeat them with style and flair, using spells and spectacles that make the crowd go wild.[2]
Background
Kylem was designed specifically for Battlebond. It's not a very fleshed out world, making its use anywhere but Battlebond 2 rather tricky.[4] No narrative was presented during Battlebond, with only the Kenrith twins linking it to the greater multiverse. Kylem was also invaded by Phyrexia, but the two cards that reference it (Preening Champion and Invasion of Kylem) show little regarding whether or not the plane was successful in defending itself.
Locations
- Cloudspire City, with its famous stadium, Valor's Reach, its training center and its hot springs.
- The Vault of Champions, in which victors are commemorated and moments of glory immortalized.
- Various other smaller stadiums across the plane.
