Lore

Why it matters

As a common creature from the *Khans of Tarkir* set, the Alabaster Kirin represents the distinct aesthetic of the Abzan Houses, characterized by their focus on resilience and endurance. Artist Igor Kieryluk’s depiction of this celestial spirit highlights the unique draconic-equine influence found throughout the plane of Tarkir.

Card face

What it does

Flying, vigilance

The appearance of a kirin signifies the passing or arrival of an important figure. As word of sightings spread, all the khans took it to mean themselves. Only the shaman Chianul thought of Sarkhan Vol.

Provenance

Where it came from

Alabaster Kirin was released in 2014 as part of the Khans of Tarkir expansion for Magic: The Gathering. The set centers on the plane of Tarkir, a world defined by its five distinct warlord clans and a deep cultural reverence for dragons. As a common card, the Kirin was designed to populate the Limited environment of the set, providing players with a straightforward flying creature that reinforces the white-aligned mechanics prevalent in the Abzan Houses clan.

The card features artwork by Igor Kieryluk, who captures the ethereal, horse-like form of the Kirin common in East Asian mythology. Kieryluk’s design leans into the creature's celestial nature, utilizing bright, airy tones to contrast with the grittier, sand-swept aesthetic of the Abzan territories. The piece was received as a solid example of the set's high-fantasy visual identity, serving as a functional and thematically consistent entry in the larger Tarkir narrative.
