Guildmasters Guide to Ravnica

(Nancy Kaufman) #1
Selesnya NPCs

Those drawn to the Selesnya Conclave find the guild's
mission of inclusion and harmony appealing. They gain
comfort and fulfillment from the guild's peaceful coex-
istence with civilization and untamed nature. But the
guild's drive isn't only to draw people into a peaceable
community: the Selesnya aim to build an army. They ar-
en't naive; they realize that the ambitions of other guilds
will lead to violence, and they plan to be prepared for it.
Despite the guild's atmosphere of peaceful quietude,
many of its members have military roles. The Selesnya
NPCs table summarizes key roles within the guild. Sta-
tistics for these NPCs are found in the Monster Manual
unless the table states otherwise.

TROSTANI

The Selesnya guildmaster is an amalgamation of three
dryads in body, will, and soul. Each dryad's body ex-
tends from a central trunk, so while they possess inde-
pendent minds. they share a single name-Trostani-
and a single life force. Usually Trostani communicates
the will of the Worldsoul with one voice, but sbe retains
three distinct personalities that embody the three parts
of the Selesnyan ideal: order, life, and harmony. In the
midst of increasing tensions on Ravnica, the three per-
sonalities have recently been at odds over how best to
navigate the conclave through such difficult times.
Trostani spends most of her time in the towering tree
of Vitu-Ghazi, the Selesnya guildhall. There she com-
munes with Mat'Selesnya and with the dryads who lead
individual Selesnya communities across Ravnica.

TROSTANI'S TRAITS
Ideal: "l n each of us is the strength of all of us."
B ond: "All will come to the warm embrace of the
Conclave."
F l aw: "I have nothing but anger for those who break the
bonds of the community and leave our embrace."

HORN CALLER

Specialized shamans called horncallers use their magic
to call wild beasts to fight alongside Selesnya troops.
In quieter times, they tend the animals associated with
Selesnya enclaves and parks.
