in pursuit of their own private visions of justice. And
because the lower echelons of the guild are taught to
follow orders without question, even the villains among
the Boros can command companies of soldiers to help
them carry out their schemes.
Boros villains are inclined to engage in activity that
involves pursuing one's passion, acquiring power, or
exacting retribution. The Boros make good campaign
antagonists if the adventurers represent the forces of
chaos that the legion opposes- Rakdos revelers, Gruul
raiders, Golgari corrupters, or Dimir spies.
You could structure a campaign around the legion's
slow progress in taking over the authority of the Azo-
rius Senate and imposing a sort of martial law on the
city. A campaign of this sort is particularly effective if
the characters initially work alongside the Boros, es-
pecially if one or more characters belong to the legion.
They might help Boros soldiers drive off Gruul raiders
or uproot Dimir spies- clearly fighting against evil on
the side of the good and just. As time goes on, though,
their Boros allies might start taking their war against
evil too far. Innocent citizens get caught in the cross-
fire, most punishment is cruel and excessive, and any
resistance is met with overwhelming force, to "set an
example" for anyone else who might consider opposing
the legion. A Boros ally (or even a close friend) of the
characters might become fully caught up in this fervor.
Perhaps the characters can talk some sense into their
old friend, but the resolution of the campaign might
force them to take more extreme measures to curb the
legion's excesses.BOROS CHARACTER GOALS
The Boros Legion sends individuals or small parties
on small-scale military missions, usually to help quell
riots or protect bystanders from dangerous situations.
Trusted characters might also be involved in internal
investigations of suspected wrongdoing, especially if
they're associated with the Wojek League. The Boros
Assignments table provides examples of missions or
side quests that Boros characters might undertake.B O ROS ASSIGNMENTS
