Khans of Tarkir: Background


Khans of Tarkir (KTK) est la première édition du bloque Khans. L'histoire se déroule sur Tarkir, patrie du célèbre arpenteur Sarkhan Vol. Tarkir est gouverné par cinq clans rivalisants, dont chacun est régné par un Khan. Dans cette édition, les dragons vont jouer un rôle important, vu qu'ils ont disparus sur Tarkir et maintenant tous les clans les exaltent. Les clans représentent des "wedges" (associations de couleurs similaires aux éclats d'Éclats d'Alara).


Chaque clan aura sa propre mécanique dans le jeu, actuellement il a été confirmé que nous verrons le retours de l’habilité Mue (introduit à l'origine dans Carnage et revu en Spirale temporelle). Une autre habilité clé sera le voyage dans le temps.


Le clan Abzan/ Abzan houses

Anafenza, la primordiale
Anafenza, la primordiale

Abzan society is built around family bonds to survive their harsh desert environment. The Abzan revere their ancestors but also adopt orphans of war from other clans. The scale of the dragon is their symbol: one part among many that forms an impenetrable defense. The clan's center is the fortress-city of Arashin.

Le clan Jeskaï/ Jeskai way

The Jeskai are martial artists, mystics, and wandering warriors. They revere cunning and strategy in combat, taking the dragon's eye as their symbol. Isolated mountain strongholds form the basis of Jeskai culture, each with its own mystical styles and schools of thought. Sage-Eye Stronghold is foremost among these.

The Mardu are feared warriors who live for the heat of battle. Thundering waves of humans, orcs, ogres, and goblins constantly raid other clans, but never hold territory for long.

The Temur value strength, savagery, and independence. They are represented by the claw of the dragon. These nomads spend much of the year hunting in the inhospitable Qal Sisma mountains.
