Ravnica City of Guilds

Ravnica is a vast, world‑spanning city ruled by ten powerful guilds, each controlling a slice of power and philosophy. These factions balance—often violently—between cooperation and rivalry, shaping a plane where politics, magic, and intrigue define daily life in an endless urban maze. Since the world pack came into being, all races live in one metropolis, undead bank clerks living next to Troll tavern bouncers, and Gnome Bureaucrats.

Ravnica is a place of constant motion where powerful guilds jostle for power across a variety of urban landscapes, from sprawling gardens to towering skyscrapers.
