Kylem is a plane featured in the Battlebond set. Kylem is inspired by sports and games.[2]
Description
On this world, beings flock from all over the plane to the arena of Valor's Reach, where two-on-two combat is the pinnacle of sport.[3] The goal of the combatants isn't to kill their opponents outright, but to defeat them with style and flair, using spells and spectacles that make the crowd go wild.[2]
History
The Spellslingers competition was hosted at Valor's Reach and commentated on by Vnwxt, who rose to fame for his skill.[4]
Kylem was a target in the New Phyrexian Invasion.[5]
The competitive denizens of Kylem found themselves a new discipline to master with the Ghirapur Grand Prix, having won one iteration with representative Team Cloudspire.
Locations
- Cloudspire City, with its famous stadium, Valor's Reach, its training center and its hot springs.
- The Vault of Champions, in which victors are commemorated and moments of glory immortalized.
- Various other smaller stadiums across the plane.
Background
Kylem was designed specifically for Battlebond. It's not a very fleshed out world, making its use anywhere but Battlebond 2 rather tricky.[6] No narrative was presented during Battlebond, with only the Kenrith twins linking it to the greater multiverse.
