Abzan Guide

Khans of Tarkir

A plane scarred by an ancient war between dragons and the humanoid races. The five clans rose against the dragonlords, wielding magic drawn from the dragons they slew. The dragons were driven extinct, but without a common enemy the clans fell into endless war against each other. The dragon tempests that once gave life to the land have faded, leaving harsh wastes and dwindling resources. Each clan claims the legacy of one dragonlord, embodying a single aspect of the dragons they destroyed.

Abzan Houses — Endurance Races: Humans, Ainok, Orcs, Aven, and adopted Krumar of any race Ancestor-worshipping desert fortress dwellers who honor the unbroken line of family. They refuse to yield and outlast all foes. After battle they take in orphans from other clans as Krumar—many orcs entered Abzan this way.

Jeskai Way — Cunning Races: Humans, Djinn, Efreet, Aven Monastic martial artists dwelling in remote mountain monasteries. They seek enlightenment through mental and martial discipline, fighting with strategy and trickery—not shadow.

Sultai Brood — Ruthlessness Races: Naga (ruling class), Humans (second-class), Rakshasa (demonic allies) Jungle palace rulers who exploit the dead without shame. Naga claim dragon ancestry and rule over humans through necromancy, stealth, and poison.

Mardu Horde — Speed Races: Humans, Orcs, Goblins, Ogres Mongol-inspired raiders of the steppes who strike fast and vanish before enemies can mount a defense. They live for battle and glory.

Temur Frontier — Savagery Races: Humans, Ainok, Aven, Loxodon, Orcs, Bears, Spirits, Elementals Siberian-inspired survivalists of the frozen wilds. They endure through raw strength and instinct, treating the harsh land as both home and enemy.

The clans fight not just for dominance, but for survival—each believing their way is the only path forward in a world abandoned by its former masters.
