In response to community feedback, Wizards of the Coast has renamed the iconic plane Kaladesh to Avishkar, choosing a name with cultural significance and avoiding offensive implications.
The decision to change the name was informed by the recognition that the term 'kala' could have negative connotations, leading Wizards to seek cultural guidance in selecting 'Avishkar', meaning 'invention'.
Wizards' creative team collaborated with cultural consultants to ensure sensitivity in naming, reflecting a broader commitment to inclusivity and respect for cultural representation in their products.
Rather than retconning the lore, Wizards opted for a narrative explanation, presenting Avishkar as the plane's new identity while honoring its original inspiration.
