Guildmasters Guide to Ravnica

ANGELS

Ravnican angels are physical manifestations of the

principles of justice and righteousness. Created in the

image of the founder of the Boros Legion, Razia, they

originally all served in the legion, but individual angels

embody different approaches to ideals of justice, duty,

law, and order. This diversity has caused some angels to

leave the Boros Legion; they might join other guilds or

remain independent, protecting the guildless.

Angels from Ravnica appear similar to human women

w ith two large feathered wings. Present-day angels have

the full range of human height, weight, and coloration.

Some a re crowned or surrounded by a glowing nimbus

oflight, and others have hair like living flame.

Immortal Nature. Angels don't require air, food,

dri nk, or s leep.

BOROS ANGE LS

Angels of the Boros Legion view themselves as the

embodiments of what their creator intended. They are

fierce warriors devoted to justice and dedicated to pro-

tecting the weak against evil and oppression. They are

commanders, advisors, strategists, and soldiers. Their

presence in battle inspires the mortal soldiers of the le-

gion with righteous zeal.

Most Boros soldiers assume that angels a re paragons

of goodness, wisdom, and mercy. The reality is that an-

gels aren't immune to the temptations of corruption, and

the necessities of political machination can compromise

the best of them.

Warleaders. The wisest, most visionary angels are

responsible for forming and implementing the military

strategy of the Boros Legion. Since they are immortal,

their plans m ight span centuries, and they have been

known to accept decades of losses as a reasonable cost

for a more s ignificant victory many years later. These

warleaders have the statistics of planetars or solars (as

presented in the Monster Manual), but their appearance

is similar to other Boros angels.

BATTLEFORCE ANGEL

Battleforce angels are the radiant hosts that soar into

combat, bathed in the light of Boros zeal. They lead

companies of mortal soldiers from above or fly ahead of

roe-mounted skyknights. They don't shy away from the

blood, pain, and confusion of combat; rather, they im-

merse themselves in the shifting tides of battle. Only by

wading into the battle can they fulfill their responsibility

to carry out the commands of the warleaders by adapt-

ing their tactics to the shifting situation on the ground.
