Character Classes
hen you create a character for Dungeons & Dragons, you choose a class from the options
presented in the Player's Handbook. Characters of any class can be found on Eldraine, though some are
W rarer than others. The following section provides guidelines on playing certain classes in Eldraine, and
presents six subclass options. The Artificer class is from Tasha's Cauldron of Everything.
Artificers. For artificers, technology on Eldraine is
clockwork, and constructs can be brought to life with Fae
magic. Alchemists would likely study the flora of the Wilds.
Barbarian. Warriors who channel their rage are most
common among the courts of Embereth and Garenbrig,
where strength and courage are highly valued.
Bard. Stories and legends are the lifeblood of Eldraine.
Bards are abundant across the plane as storytellers, actors,
and local musicians.
Cleric. Eldraine has no pantheon of gods. Clerics on
Eldraine don't worship deities, but might instead follow
powerful entities like Dragons, Giants, or High Fae. The
Domains might also represent the virtues of the courts.
Druid. Druids are common on Eldraine as spellcasters with a
deep connection to the Wilds and Fae magic.
Fighter. Warriors of all kinds can be found all across
Eldraine, both in the Realm and the Wilds.
Monk. Monks aren't common on Eldraine, but might
represent pugilists and brawlers who have honed their skills
uniquely.
Paladin. Not all knights of Eldraine are Paladins, but
Paladins perfectly embody a knight who swears to uphold his
court's virtue and channels the magic of the court's relic.
Ranger. Those skilled in navigating both the Realm and the
Wilds are highly prized, and the Boundary Lands seek to
employ many Rangers to defend them from the dangers of
the roads.
Rogue. Rogues are especially common among the species of
Wilds, such as Redcaps and Faeries, who use skill and speed
to harass the inhabitants of the Realm. Rogues might also
represent thieves and specialists from the Realms larger
cities.
Sorcerer. Sorcerers have an innate magic, and are common
across Eldraine in all places and species.
Warlock. Patrons on Eldraine might be High Fae, Dragons,
powerful witches, or powerful creatures from other planes.
Wizard. Wizards would be most common in the Court of
Vantress, which values knowledge and magic, but each Court
and even the Fae have their own similar magics.

Elf
Elves are lithe fair folk that stand just shorter than humans,
with a range of earthen skin tones and tall, pointed ears. They
bear keen, quick expressions, and their innate connection to
the natural world leads them to often patrol the forests as
rangers, archers, scouts, and druids.
The elves were the original inhabitants of the Realm before
humans. For some elves, especially those who were alive at
the time, resentment lingers in their hearts towards the
humans and the Realm. Some elves actively hunt humans,
just as they hunt deer and boars in the forest. Encounters
between elves and humans do not always erupt in violence,
but they are almost never warm.
Locthwain Elves
When the ancient elven rulers lost their claim, one remained
when the others retreated to the wilds. The elven queen
Ayara joined the newly formed Realm of humans and helped

or returned from the wilds to join her court. These noble,
graceful elves wear elaborate headdresses and elegant attire,
and consider themselves more civilized than their bretheren.

APPENDIX B | DM TOOLS 48
 Appendix C: Cosmology
he worlds of Magic: the Gathering are part of an immense multiverse, a collection of planes each
with their own unique histories and people. Almost every plane has a unique theme to explore, from the mythic
T odysseys of greek-inspired Theros, to the cyberpunk adventures of Japan-inspired Kamigawa.

The Planes
The planes are the different worlds and dimensions in the
Magic multiverse. They fall into the following categories.
Blind Eternities. The Blind Eternities is the term used to
describe the void between planes. It is filled with the
chaotic energies of aether and mana. The Edge is a plane
that sits outside the rest of the multiverse and borders the
Blind Eternities.
Planes. The distinct worlds of Magic are called planes, and
are similar to the Material plane in other D&D
cosmologies.
Realms. When a Magic plane has its own smaller planes
within it, these are called realms. Most planes have a
mortal realm alongside a spirit realm or afterlife. Kaldheim
is a plane with ten distinct realms.
Refractions. If a plane has multiple versions of itself, like a
parallel universe, these are called refractions. Rabiah is a
plane with 1,001 refractions. You may use the concept of
refractions to help explain deviations from the Magic Story
within your campaign.
Planar Travel
Travel between planes is a common theme in the worlds of
Magic. Some adventures only take place on a single plane,
while other campaigns branch into the wider multiverse.
Omenpaths
Omenpaths are portals that allow travel between the planes.
They were created during the Phyrexian Invasion, a
multiversal event wherein the machine legion of New
Phyrexia invaded multiple planes. Omenpaths can can vary in
appearance, size, and stability. Some may even be mobile.
Traveling the omenpaths is the easiest way to move
between planes, but it's far from easy. It requires careful
planning and mapping of the omenpaths to prevent getting
lost or stranded on an unknown plane.
The official Avishkari Omenpath Classification System is a
simple, colloquial system that attempts to batch omenpaths
into three recognizable categories.
Evergreen. Evergreen Omenpaths are stable Omenpaths
that opened in the wake of the Phyrexian invasion and have
not yet closed.
Deciduous. Though not permanent, Deciduous Omenpaths
are considered stable in that they open and close on
regular, predictable cycles.
Instanced. Instanced Omenpaths are any other Omenpaths,
including those that have recently opened and are
undergoing evaluations to determine their stability and/or
regularity. They might be open for days or mere seconds.
49 APPENDIX C | COSMOLOGY

Planeswalking
A planeswalker is a sentient, living creature that possesses a
"planeswalker spark," an imprint of aether on their soul. This
gives them the intrinsic ability to planeswalk, or to move
between the planes of the multiverse at will. The chances of a
creature being born a planeswalker is one in a million, and
fewer still ever have their spark ignited, which occurs under
strong stress or emoption.
The act of planeswalking is a spell, and as with all other
spells, the exact manifestation of the magic and the
experience of the caster while traveling is unique to the
individual.
Functionally, a planeswalker creature can cast Plane Shift
on itself once per day, requiring no spell components.
Magic
Spells and magic items that allow access to other planes of
existence function differently on Eldraine.
Ethereal Plane. The Etherealness spell and other magic that
allows access to the Ethereal Plane instead accesses the
spirit realm, Eldraine's afterlife, where ghosts can be found.
Astral Plane. The Astral Projection spell and magic that
accesses the Astral Plane instead leads to the Realm of
Dreams, inhabited by nightmares (see Appendix D).

Archon of Boundaries
Habitat: Forest; Treasure: Relics

The archons of Eldraine are enigmatic beings who fly over

the perimeter where the realm meets the wilds, marking the
boundary between safety (for the people of the realm) and
danger. The sight of an archon overhead is a clear signal that
one is entering the wilds.
An archon appears as a hooded, spectral rider mounted on
a winged elk with glowing antlers and gleaming eyes. Despite
this appearance, rider and mount are a single creature that
can't be separated. Tales say that archons are ascended
spirits of paladins fused with the celestial spirits of their
steeds, returned from the celestial realms to watch over the
boundary of the wilds and protect those who dare to cross it.
Sometimes knights of the realm get the idea that they can
expand the borders of their land and keep the wilds at bay
simply by driving archons deeper into the wilds. Such efforts
are futile; not only are archons difficult to kill, but they don't
create the boundaries, merely mark them.
“A winged dawn dispels the terror of night.”

 john stanko High Fae
Habitat: Forest; Treasure: Arcana

Ageless and inhuman, high fae are the oldest creatures in

Eldraine, embodying the natural splendor and danger of the
wilderness. High fae have no regard for mortal values of
honor and law, but they nonetheless operate under inviolable
rules of their own: gifts must always be repaid, promises
must be honored, and outright lies must never be spoken
(though misdirection and riddles are always welcome).
The high fae remain secluded deep within the wilds of
Eldraine, and are ruled by Talion, the Kindly Lord. Talion is
as strange, ancient, and fickle as the wilds of Eldraine, and
the Kindly Lord demands fealty and respect from followers.
Despite having an austere demeanor, the Kindly Lord is also
known for following mysterious whims, journeying to the
farthest reaches of Eldraine out of an insatiable curiosity.
High Fae Impostor
High fae impostors are sly and mischievous manipulators
who delight in disguising themselves with magic to vex other
creatures. Their reasons for deception vary, ranging from
harmless pranks to malicious infiltration. When a high fae
impostor takes on the identity of another creature, the
impostor magically gains access to a small portion of that
creature's mind—any information that the creature might
share with a casual acquaintance. Though not
comprehensive, this information helps high fae impostors
impersonate their targets effectively.

High Fae Noble
High fae nobles regard themselves as the natural and obvious
superiors of all in Eldraine. Many have been given dominion
over a small aspect of the natural world; there are dukes and
duchesses for each of the seasons, and noble archivists track
every promise made and broken within the borders of
Eldraine.
High fae nobles use their illusions and innate magic to
impress their peers and express their capricious natures.
Many adorn themselves with auras of magic that dazzle
others, while uttering mocking phrases that magically stun
and ridicule their opponents. High fae nobles will spend
countless years in mind-bendingly complicated games of
political calculus, their alliances ever-shifting as they jockey
for favors and status in the Kindly Lord's court.

Treefolk
Habitat: Forest; Treasure: Relics

The wise and ancient treefolk thrive in the depths of

Eldraine's forested wilds. Though many treefolk rival
members of the high fae in age, they rarely interfere with the
goings-on of the faerie court. Instead, treefolk serve as
guardians and shepherds of their wild groves, dispensing
wisdom and blessings to travelers who wander under their
branches.

you grow some rings.”

Habitat: Swamp; Treasure: Arcana

While many dragons of Eldraine hoard wealth and material

goods, witchkites prefer hoarding forbidden and dangerous
magical secrets. The arcane nature of a witchkite's hoard
seeps into the dragon's core, granting it spellcasting abilities
and twisting its fiery breath into malevolent motes of magical
flame.
