Kaladesh
![]() |

Kaladesh is the home plane of Chandra and as such was one of the 10 planes featured in the set Magic Origins. It is also the setting for the setting for the recent expansion block.
Not a great place for a pyromancer to be born, considering fire magic is illegal and punishable by death. Instead of magic being used in a way more common to other planes, artifice is used. These magic devices are fueled by aether. It's kind of steam punk, but instead of the usual Victorian England, it's more based off India, without the colonization (again, no England). Also no pollution and all around prettier than typical steampunk. Using aether as fuel doesn't put soot and shit in the air.
As of the release of Aether Revolt, revolution is brewing in Kaladesh. Also, Tezzeret might be opening a portal to New Phyrexia.
Chandra's mum lead a revolution which overthrew the government, Tezzeret escaped, and our noble heroes decided to set forth for the home plain of Nicol Bolas; Amonkhet.
