Aesi could still be from Kaldheim - maybe they just didn't mention it because the set isn't out yet. A mostly ocean-covered plane fits the Viking theme, and between the name in the flavor text and the pictures of the "Cosmo Serpent" miniature we have, it'd be weird if he was from another plane altogether (although I guess it's not impossible).
Imoti not being from Amonkhet was a bit of a surprise to me.
Overall, I appreciate that they do these little bios, but especially the info on new characters from unknown planes are a bit too bland and limited for my tastes. They probably do it this way to not write themselves into corners, but I still wish they'd include a few more specifics about their planes here and there.
Tiro reaching for that headcanon to avoid saying that his favourite world might have issues, haha.
It would be interesting to get to know more about the technicalities and circumstances of Calyx's creation. Why is he WG when Klothys is GR, how does the spark work, etc. Unfortunately that seems like something Wizards would deliberately leave ambiguous/unanswered/unexplored even IF there was a Theros book.
Plot twist: Oona gets a planeswalker spark from [insert currently least popular planeswalker, hopefully Nissa] and leaves Lorwynn, so she becomes a major villain while Wizards collectively sigh in relief because they hate Lorwynn that much.
I mean, if Klothys can create a mana construct planeswalker on the spot because it's convenient for the story, there's no real reason for why Maralen/Oona shouldn't be able to do the same or something similar.
Just might have been Ethan and Ari not thinking to match pretense and writing separately.
Welp, it really just is an oversight then, probably. Wizards doesn't seem like a company to do that kind of obscure hint-dropping, and they're never going to return to Lorwyn anyway.
Still, even just as a headcanon I like the idea of Maralen morphing back into Oona in restored Lorwyn. Ultimate power always corrupts, stuff like that. Maybe she would be able to restrain herself for a while, but over hundreds of years, it wouldn't be hard to believe that "her nature" would start to seep in slowly again. idk, I'd really like having Oona as a minor, planebound villain that still has the ability to somewhat influence multiverse events through dream magic.
While Colfenor's blurb is (appropriately) written in past tense, Nymris's is not ... and it mentions Oona, which implies that if we ever returned to Lorwyn, she would still be there despite being killed in the block story. Maybe despite of her vow, Maralen ended up slowly turning back into Oona after connecting herself with the net that she had spread throughout Lorwyn? She is a copy of her, after all. Could be an oversight though.
If looks are anything to go by, Eligeth seems to be from the same plane as Azor. The blue hair matches up...
