  • Alara wa s once a single plane of the Magic: The Gathering universe, a millennia ago. Where once there was a plane, now there are 5, known as "the Shards". Until the sundering, it was a world rich with mana, and was described as a world in balance. In a cataclysm of great proportions, the plane was rent asunder into 5 separate worlds, each a fraction of the original whole. The cause of this cataclysm has been lost to time. Some ancient lore of the shards suggest a being of god-like power forcibly split the shards to seize its mana. Some believe it was caused by the titanic battle between the archangel Asha and the demon Malfegor; but for most, only the dimmest cultural memories remains of a richer world that existed before their own. Whatever the cause of the sundering, one thing is clear: the shards have become very different places in the time since the sundering. Each plane was all but severed from two of the five colors of mana. the shard of Bant, lost all of its black and red, keeping white, green, and blue. This mana imbalance caused the shards to evolve in wildly distinct directions over the course of one thousand years. Now only hints of a common ancestor plane remain on the 5 worlds, and their environments and denizens could hardly differ more.
