Kaladesh is a plane where Aether is more manifest than on other planes, being present in the atmosphere.
Description
Kaladesh is an ethnically diverse [1] plane where natural mages are rare. Work that would be done with magic on other planes is instead accomplished through devices. [2] The automatons, thopters and other artifact creatures of the plane are fueled by æther, which is heavily trafficked. Artifacts are built as much for beauty as for function. Fire magic is strictly banned, and pyromancy punishable with a death sentence, since pyromantic magic interacts dangerously with the aether in the air. [3] [4]
Kaladesh is ruled by Consuls. Their 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. They are opposed by renegades, who believe that the Consulate constricts their freedoms.
Kaladesh was first introduced in Origins as the home plane of Chandra Nalaar.[5] Slightly over a year later, it was the setting for a block of the same name.
