Welcoming any and all input on the Community Set Story - please have your say!
Has possibly already been designed over here: Aeran Gideon. Discussion here as to the background of this character.
So, if we go for the "Aer is borrowing/stealing mana from the 5 monocolour planes" storyline (which I think is a strong probability at the moment), I think the Crests designed here: Heavy Mono Signets & Idyllic Crest Sea Crest Gorgon's Crest Arctic Crest Fungal Crest should be a strong candidate for the objects used to do it. I envisage the Aerans dumping these over the planes and tapping into them when they need to (before the conflicts)
I'd suggest stealing from, of all things, Dragon Quest: The celestials, who live in a world like Aer - are basically incredibly snotty about the ground pounders. They feel sorry for them, pity them, but don't consider them really important. (In DQ9 they protect them and look after them because it's their job - they act towards them like tech support infamously acts towards users.)
Mechanics might be driving requirements here: looks like this plane exists as mostly sea, with scattered islands. A good water-mage can control the sea.
The universe consists of 6 distinct areas - 5 mono-coloured continents/demi-planes:~White Plane~, ~Blue Plane~, ~Black Plane~, ~Red Plane~, ~Green Plane~; and the 1 multicoloured floating sky city Aer.
I like the idea of smaller floating clouds. It gives us a chance to make one-shot worlds for single uncommon or rare cards down the line. The fact that Magic is always split into fives always bugs me. It's a good idea, but it bugs me anyhow.
The following things are up to be changed (what I said above is also, actually), but I'll state them as facts because that's easier.
Aer is governed by a senate, which consists of representatives from each of the seven* districts of Aer. Each of these districts is named for one of Aer's seven* largest islands, but most also include multiple smaller islands.
The senate building is on Aer's largest island, Tarum, which also houses Aer's financial district and several sculpted parks.
*This number is up for review.
I'm not finished, but I have to help make dinner.
What we know about Aer:
Aer is composed of a multitude of floating islands connected by marvelous bridges. The bridges are mainly aesthetic, serving more to keep the islands floating in the same configuration than to provide a place for Aerans to walk, since every Aeran has some method of flight. The islands of Aer settle at the very top of the sea of clouds that bars from Aeran view the ground far below.
