Valla is a plane that was originally a realm in Kaldheim. It originally incorporated Immersturm, but that region has later been split of.
Description
At Immersturm, a storm of magic raged, causing the people of Valla to engage in a never-ending war, and is populated by demons. The Immersturm grew to cover a large area of the realm. One of the combatant factions deployed a mighty weapon, which cracked the realm in twain. Part of it fell from then World Tree and became an independent plane called Valla. The remnant of the realm that was still attached to the World Tree was completely covered with Immersturm, and over time the original name of Valla was abandoned and the realm came to be called Immersturm.[1]
Retcon
Valla was first in Planechase, on the card Immersturm.[2] However, in 2021, Immersturm was revealed to be one of Kaldheim's realms, and the status of Valla as a separate plane or another name for Kaldheim became uncertain.[3] According to Mark Rosewater, R&D "had to change some of the plane names from Planechase."[4]
Afterward, Ethan Fleischer declared that Valla still exists. He declared that Valla was originally a realm of Kaldheim that incorporated the region of the Immersturm. After their separation, Immersturm exists as a realm of Kaldheim and Valla has become a separate plane.[1]
