Esper
Esper is one of five Shards of Alara. It is primarily blue-aligned, with white and black as secondary colors. [1]
Description
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. There are twenty-three sorts winds of Esper. This wind is considered by the Vedalken to have mystical significance. [2]
The most distinguishing characteristic of Esper's 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.[3]
