what happened on these planes? From what I can tell, they don't have a legitimate story line at all.
if you had to create a miniature story line for these planes, how would it go? please include which plane you're writing about, and try to include the area of each. NOTE: I understand some of these were re-branded they still have their own unique culture and plane to explore.
Valla: Immersturm,
Arkhos: Lethe Lake (this plane was re-branded to Theros, but still deserves its own story)
Wildfire: Naar Isle
Kaldheim: Skybreen
Iquatana: The AEther Flues
Equilor: Bloodhill Bastion, The Eon Fog (yes, I know this plane has SOME lore, but never a true story.)
Segovia: The Hippodrome (this is a weird, weird plane....)
Ir: Turri Island
Kephalai: Aretopolis
Kolbahan: Astral Arena
Belenon: Windriddle Palaces, Edge of Malacol
Fabacin: Grove of the Dreampods (Dreampod Druid is most likely a tender to these groves, so keep it in mind)
Mongseng: Kharasha Foothills (this plane was re-branded to Tarkir, but still deserves its own story)
Azgol: Lair of the Ashen Idol
Xerex: Stairs to Infinity (this card didn't show up, so heres a link to a picture) http://gatherer.wizards.com/Handlers/Image.ashx?multiverseid=226521&type=card
Kyneth: The Zephyr Maze
Ergamon: Truga Jungle
Well, go crazy!

Good thread. I've been wondering about some of these localities too. I know that Kaldheim is actually featured in the Duels of the Planeswalkers 2014 video game as the site of your battle alongside Chandra against Ramaz, a RUG planeswalker who is in league with Nicol Bolas. We don't know much else of the plane.
We also know that Kephalai (probably also rebranded to Theros, since "Aretopolis" translates from Greek into city of virtue, and even the plane name Kephalai translates to heads or, idiomatically, authority or wisdom; you see the Greco-Roman culture queues here) was the place where Gideon and Chandra went to retrieve some sort of magical scroll in one of the novels. So we've seen this plane, too, just not in any cards as far as I know.
As for the others, I couldn't even guess what's in store. I imagine Xerex might be an artificial plane built by some interplanar encyclopedian (or an organization of planeswalking scholars with similar goals). I'll bet its purpose is to be a safe repository for knowledge in the multiverse, and a refuge for planeswalker scholars to convene and discuss matters of academic importance to magic or the cosmos.
Or it could just be a really weird plane with its own natives. But even if artificial, its denizens could have been transplanted, much like in Mirrodin's early history.
