There is no virtue in subtlety—at least not as far
as Chandra Nalaar is concerned. She’s a confident,
ardent, defiant Planeswalker whose specialty is
pyromancy: spells of fire, fire, and more fire.
Growing up as a magic-user on a plane of
inventors, she was used to being the black sheep.
In fact, she grew to embrace and celebrate her
independence from her renegade parents. But she
and her parents were hunted by the local consuls
for transgressions against their oppressive rule.
Her parents were brutally punished, and Chandra
herself sentenced to execution for crimes she
didn’t commit. Outraged, panicked, and grief-stricken,
Chandra’s spark ignited along with her
pyromancy, and she bathed her punishers in
flames before being transported to a new plane.
Here she was welcomed into the plane’s order of
monks, pyromancers like herself. Here Chandra
learned how to channel her impulses and to
control her gift. Now Chandra travels the planes of
the Multiverse in pursuit of new adventure and
away from responsibilities. Recently her thirst for
adventure has brought her to Zendikar, where she
met other Planeswalkers—the mind-mage Jace
Beleren and the dragon speaker, Sarkhan Vol. But
true to her mercurial desires and impulsive nature,
Chandra is still searching for the new adventures.
As her wild inner fire encounters world after world
of rules and restrictions, the results are sure to be
explosive.
