Travel Log: Exalted Bant

Contacting Jace Beleren proved to be difficult as he is also a planeswalker. I was fortunate to hear from Max - one of the Rafiqs/Invokers of Bant - that he has means of getting in touch with Jace.



So I planeswalked and eventually found myself in one of Alara's shard: Bant. Bant is a world cut off from red and black mana, a haven of order, honor, and community. It's a shard of Alara where traditions have thrived, protected by innumerable knightly orders, warrior angels, and a caste system designed to support the good of the many over the good of the few. Without the magic of death and chaos there to threaten convention and stability, and with angels flying as tireless symbols of peace and justice, its community traditions have become codified into law. Its monks study the words of ancient prayers. Its mages and clerics practice magic of healing, prevention, protection, and growth. Its druids and laborers care for the rolling fields, bringing nourishment to the population. And its knights—the finest in all of Alara's shards, not that they'd know it—practice the codes and forms of martial perfection, weighed down by the medallions of honor and patronage known as sigils.



I had some trouble at first trying to convience the Bant that I would not like to join their fight. He started to withheld information. I had to resort to my spells just to get away. I forced him to purse me together with his army towards the northern portion of Bant. Unaware that during our initial talks i was already able to discern where Beleren was and managed to plant the seed of the illusion he was to chase in his mind. By the time the Rafiq realized he was misled, I was alread well on my way accross the plane with the knowledge I needed from Beleren.
