Alara Vedalken

~

The regular feature article writers over at Wizards took today off.



With the exception of Editor-in-Chief, Scott Johns, who had a brief announcement regarding the overhaul of the website.

To appease the hungry audience, we were treated to a sneak peek of the sited including a new Shards of Alara image to be hosted in the 'Multiverse' flavour section.
A note about these 'filigreed' blue creatures. These creatures share appear very much like the Vedalken in Ravinca block. Vedalken are a tall, thin, hairless blue-skinned race.

Vedalken Entrancer
(Ravnica: City of Guilds)

Azorius Guildmage
(Dissension)

Some nay-sayers may tell you that Vedalken have four arms and indeed in Mirrodin, the vedalken there mutated to sprout two extra arms and gills but in Ravinca, they were rather like in appearence to the tall blue creatures we have been seeing in the Alara realm of Esper.


Looks like it may very well be a brave new world over at Wizards tomorrow if all goes right . . . we will just have to wait and see.

Until next time, Happy & Safe Gaming.

Magic Humour

~I hope all have found their way over to the new site . . . our apologies for the lack of advance warning but it was something that we had mulled over for quite some time.
