New Capenna is a Plane introduced in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Magic: The Gathering's Streets Of New Capenna set. It is largely inspired by mafia movies, with a 1920s art deco inspiration. The Plane is run by demons, each in charge of one of the five major families. It is also the birthplace of the Planeswalker Elspeth Tirel.
New Capenna is a storied Plane, with two major eras of it. New Capenna is actually only a city in the greater Plane that is simply named Capenna. The town has an entire system built around a magical substance called Halo, which is one of the most valuabl♏꧟e objects on the Plane.
Old Capenna
Before becoming New Capenna, the o🃏ld days of the Plane were instead more similar to medieval times, with knights and kingdoms across the Plane. There were five factions of Capenna that would later become the five families of New Capenna:
- The Obscura were mystics and advisors.
- The Maestros were nobles as well as art aficionados.
- The Cabaretti were religious druids who were connected to nature.
- The Brokers were paladins, the protectors of Capenna.
- The last of the factions was the Riveteers, who acted as blacksmiths and architects.
The Plane came 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:under attack by Phyrexians sometime before the original Phyrexian invasion of Dominaria. They would capture and torture residents, including Elspeth Tirel which ultimately led to her Planeswalker spark igniting and allowing her to escape.
The archangels of Capenna worked with the archdemons of the Plane to create a fortress that could protect the denizens of Capenna from the Phyrexians, and this turned into the city of New Capenna. As many of thꦗe residents of Capenna that could make it in did, and the angels turned their attention to defeating the Phyrexians.
While the Angels were distracted, the archdemons began to scheme to take full control of New Capenna. Since they knew the act would kill them as well, they sought out Capenna's finest and bound them to a contract. These five who signed would become demons as well as their original species, becoming the five new heads of the New Capenna families.
The Phyrexians had ceased their onslaught seemingly out of nowhere, likely due to the death of their God Yawgmoth during the Phyrexian invasion of Dominaria. Following the war, the archdemons entrapped the angels in stasis and began to convert their bodies into a substance known as Halo.
The archdemons used Halo 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:to destroy the Phyrexians 🎃but then vanished afterward. Left to their own devices, ♈the families buried the truth, lost to time.
The Five Families
Once New Capenna lost its angels, demons began to rule, led by the five familie. Those who signed the contracts with the demons were not only powered up, but ha🍸d their vices a🔴mplified as well, leading to more corrupt leadership and power struggles for control of New Capenna.
In the years since, an uneasy alliance formed between the families, lest the city be destroyed. This allowed New Cappena to thrive with no family trying to take too much control a🔴nd 🍨threaten the others.
The Brokers are led by 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Flaco Spara, a demonic Aven. The new age of the Brokers has them acting as lawyers, entrapping others into contracts, often for their own personal gain. These contracts are incredibly powerful, able to erase one's memory entirely.
The Cabaretti are the life of the party. They are in charge of organizing celebrations and festivals and invites to their parties highly sought after. It is led by the demonic cat Jetmir. They control the whole entertainment and dining industries of New Capenna, and can make or break a business basedജ on their endorsements.
The Maestros were led by the demon Vampire Xander, but was replaced by right-hand man Anhelo after Xander's murder by the Planeswalker Ob Nixilis. They are the assassins of the Plane, though tend to make art out of their kills. They are the only family to have remnants of Old Capenna and put them in museums, specially curating them to not reveal the truth about the city's origins.
The Obscura are run by the demonic Sphinx Raffine. They are capable of seeing the future and are able to use that to manipulate the present to ensure events always go their way. Thanks to this p🐽ower, the Obscura are no strangers to blackmail, since they know the intentions of anyone.
Lastly, the Riveteers follow the leader Ziatora, a demonic Dragon. They are the working class of the Plane, in charge of construction and keeping the city running. Perhaps the most important family, the Riveteers also have the largest stash of Halo iཧn all of New Capenna, and can tear the city down from the foundations 𝄹if they chose to.
The Adversary
The world of New Capenna was thrust into chaos when the Planeswalker Ob Nixilis invaded, intending to take control of the Plane. To do so, he started by attacking the Maestros. He confronted the Maestros leader Xander, and the two battled it out. Though Xander held his own despite his older age, Ob Nixilis was too much, and the Planeswalker killed Xander, taking control of the Maestros.
While this was happening, during an event known as the Crescendo, the Cabaretti revealed that they had learned of a way to produce more Halo. This threatened all the families, as this discovery would throw the balance of the five families out of order, making the Cabaretti stronger than the rest. The process of creating Halo was done by 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:using the essence of angels, turning t𝐆hem into the substance by a mysterious Cabaretti girl named Giada.
During this event, Ob Nixilis sent his agents to kill everyone in attendance to take another family out of the picture. They descended down on the event, attacking many patrons and severely injuring Jetmir, though it is unknown if he succumbed to his wounds. In attendance was also Elspeth Tirel, who was there investigating Halo under orders from Xander. She was working with him to learn more about her own past as well as New Capenna's. She rescued Giada as they fled the scene to safety, and Elspeth gained control of an angelic sword known as Luxior.
168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Ob Nixilis chased them down, and he and Elspeth engaged in combat. She came close to being killed by him, but was saved by Giada sacrificing herself by into Halo, revealing herself to be an Angel. This allowed Elspeth to recover and defeat Ob Nixilis by slashing his throat and he fled bඣy planeswalking away.
Giada's sacrifice led to the Angels in stasis coming back to life. It was revealed that they were in New Capenna all along, being locked away in the statues across the city by the old archdemons. With the Angels returning, the availability of Halo was greatly diminished, and the Plane began to ran out. The impact of this, and whether New Capenna could even survive without it, is yet to be seen.
