Guildmasters Guide to Ravnica

(Nancy Kaufman) #1
Boros NPCs

The Boros Legion attracts those who believe justice
is the highest ideal and that it's worth fighting for on
behalf of all Ravnica's citizens. From its angelic com-
manders down to its raw recruits, everyone in the
legion wages war against corruption, exploitation, and
lawlessness.
T he Boros Legion has its own soldiers, and the elite
S unhome Guard protects the legion's headquarters. The
Boros NPCs table summarizes key roles w ithin these
forces. Statistics for these NPCs are found in the Mon-
ster Manual unless the table states other wise.

WA RLEADER AUR ELIA

The angel Aurelia leads the Boros Legion. During the
years of her leadership, she has shown a strong appre-
ciation for the ordinary citizens who are often caught in
the middle of interguild violence.
True justice. Aurelia argues, isn't merely the enforce-
ment of the letter of existing laws {let the Azorius fret
over that), but the establishment of equitable and com-
passionate relationships among all of Ravnica's people.
That means protecting the weak from the depredations
of the strong, sheltering the innocents who are threat-
ened by war, and ensuring that enforcement of t he law
doesn't become oppressive. Aur elia actively supports
efforts to establ ish a lasting peace among t he guilds in
the absence of the Guildpact.


Aurel ia prefers to lead the Boros Legion from the
front. She bri ngs swift and unrelenting punishment to
the wicked, and her temper is legendary.
Immortal Nature. Aurelia doesn't require food,
drink, or sleep.

A URELIA'S T RAITS
Ideal : "Justice. We must do whatever it takes to estab-
lish fair and merciful relationships among Ravnica's
people- through force of arms when necessary."
B ond: "The entire legion obeys my commands, and I am
therefore beholden to every one of my soldiers.''
Flaw: "l charge into battle with little heed for my own
wellbeing."

FIRE FIST

Bor os fi refists combine potent magic with peerless
fighting ability, inspiring all w ho serve alongsid e them.
T hey often act as the poi nt o f contact between t he Boros
Legion and t he angelic leaders.

FRONTLINE MEDIC

The soldiers of the Boros Legion depend on skilled heal-
ers to keep them on their feet. Frontline medics use a
mix of magical healing and mundane medicine to keep
their compatriots alive.

RECKONER
Boros reckoners combine physical power and magical
prowess, serving as the shock troops of the legion. They
are adept at breaking up mobs and organized lines of
defense. Sometimes described as living thunderstorms,
reckoners charge their bodies with lightning that bursts
forth in their spells and lashes out at enemies who harm
them. Many reckoners are minotaurs.
