Fiora
Fiora is a plane in Magic: The Gathering's multiverse, the setting for the draft- and multiplayer-centric Conspiracy expansions. It is notable for looking very much like Assassin's Creed II with Ezio fighting goblins and mages instead of Templars.
Most cards from Fiora center on a city named Paliano, and the conspiracies (see what I did there?) related to its rulership. Paliano is basically a clockpunk version of Tiphares from Battle Angel Alita, with the elites residing up on a giant fuckoff tower called the High City, and everyone else living around its pillars. In the first Conspiracy set, Paliano was ruled by King Brago, a ghost who was deposed and murdered by one Marchesa the Black Rose. Marchesa crowned herself Queen, making sure that Brago would not return by contracting Kaya, a Planeswalker who can kill ghosts . The full consequences of this are yet to be revealed.
Notable residents include:
- An artificer named Muzzio, who is basically Magic's equivalent of Leonardo da Vinci.
- The only known living goblin Planeswalker, an artificer named Daretti.
- Leovold, a Sultai elf legendary so evil he's the only gold-frame commander to be banned in commander. Dig this: "Each opponent can’t draw more than one card each turn. Whenever you or a permanent you control becomes the target of a spell or ability an opponent controls, you may draw a card."
- Kaya, a weak $10 planeswalker with an AMAZING holographic alternate art foil that runs in the low hundreds. She phases through a door as you tilt the card, it's a really impressive use of foil printing.
