Esper

Esper is one of five Shards of Alara. It is primarily blue-aligned, with white and black as secondary colors.

Esper primarily inhabited by humans, vedalkens, and sphinxes, and a small race of blue-skinned sentient beings called the homunculi, among others. It is also the native plane of Tezzeret.

The most distinguishing characteristic of its inhabitants is their complete use of etherium to improve their skills and life spans.

The Esper Ethersworn have been studying planeswalking and could get hold of Vronos. In exchange for knowledge, Vronos agreed to planeswalk in a controlled setting for the Ethersworn for a while.
