A storm is brewing in Alara. The Conflux has fused five once-separate planes into one. The once peaceful, white-aligned plane of Bant is all but overwhelmed by the changes brought by the Conflux. New ideas and ideologies, once foreign and strange, flood its hubs and streets.

Its knights, formerly paragons of virtue, have begun to indulge their elevated status.

The wizards of the Skyward Eye have assumed positions of power in the governments of Bant's five city states, spreading paranoia and destruction alike.

The Unbeholden, lowest of the Castes, have averted their eyes from their angelic overseers. They have turned to religions both pagan and uncontrolable.

Even the fair art of combat has been despoiled by glory-seeking gladiators. Mortars and Unbeholden fight in the arena of Akrasa, and sometimes even beyond it.

Only the monks of the Sighted Caste seem to have kept their sanity. They traverse all of Bant, hoping to minimize the conflicts abrew.

But stranger things than just creatures from Esper, Grixis, Jund, or Naya stalk the shadows. People speak of a wild man, killing indiscriminately, as well as a pair of smugglers bringing goods none have ever see before.

And according to the sages of the Skyward Eye, an even greater danger looms.

Find your caste, planeswalker, and fight on Bant! Five of them, Knights, Shamans, Monks, Wizards, and Warriors are available in this set. Five more will follow in Ideals Shattered, the followup set of Castes of Bant. Together, they form the first part of the Great Alara Wheel.
