A Khalni Heart is a magical flower that is an outgrowth of the soul of Zendikar.
History
Led by visions, the Zendikari planeswalker Nissa Revane traveled into the depths of the devastated continent of Bala Ged to find the Khalni Heart which apparently had grown a new bud there.[1][2] Rumors said that it had come to revive the land after the onslaught by the Eldrazi. Through it, Nissa rekindled her connection to the plane — but she also ran afoul of the demon Ob Nixilis, a former planeswalker who hoped to use the power of the Khalni Heart to reignite his spark.[3] Flush with the elemental power of Zendikar, Nissa bested Ob Nixilis, removed the Khalni Heart to safety, and escaped.
Khalni Stone
The Khalni Stone is a powerful ancient mana refractor at the heart of Ora Ondor in Akoum that is feeding the the Impossible Garden. The plants are said contain the raw, wild magic of Zendikar and mutate the elves who live there.[4] The true source of the refracting Khalni Stone's mana is in fact a Khalni Heart, located exactly in the middle of the forest.[5]
