Notes
^ While the name of the "Plane of Mountains and Seas" was coined as such on this wiki, it entered canon when it was mentioned in Greg Weisman's 2019 novel War of the Spark: Ravnica (page 172). It was subsequently back translated to Chinese.
The Global Series's name in Mandarin Chinese is 幻境奇谭, which can be translated as "Tales of Huanjing." Huanjing itself is a generic term used to convey the idea of "fantasy land." It's unclear if Huanjing was originally intended to be the name of the plane.
