How Do I FIT IN?
As a member of the Boros Legion, you are subject to the
orders of your superior officers. You go where the angels
tell you to go, and you do what they command you to do,
to the best of your ability. If you enjoy some measure of
independence, it's either because you have proven your-
self capable of working without close supervision or be-
cause you're a rebellious sort who is willing to disobey
orders now and face the consequences later.
As a soldier on the street, you a re tasked with bring-
ing dangerous threats like the Rakdos and the Gruul
in line. You might contend with Rakdos performances
gone horribly out of control, Gruul raids on outlying
neighborhoods, s hipments of rot-infested vegetation
from the Golgari undercity, and violent uprisings among
the guildless. At the same time, you might have to worry
about Dimir spies infiltrating your leadership, over-
zealous or corrupt Azorius senators abusing the law at
the expense of justice. Izzet experiments leveling city
blocks, and Simic creations that break out of laborato-
ries and wreak havoc through the Tenth District.

A BOROS PARTY
An adventuring party drawn entirely from the ranks of
the Boros Legion would be a small military strike force,
probably focused on combat but also strong on social in-
teraction. One or two soldiers (fighters), a medic (cleric),
and an embermage (wizard) would form the core of

Tajic is a firefist who carries the exalted title of Blade of
the Legion, putting him just below the angels in rank. He
maintains close communication with Aurelia, though re-
cent events in the city have set them at odds. Tajic believes
that the Boros can trust only the Boros. He is convinced
that any effort at peace among the guilds is doomed to
failure without the Guildpact. The Boros, he argues, would
be better off spending their energy to make themselves
stronger so they can uphold the fragile balance that exists
now-and protect the innocent when the balance tilts.
Aurelia feels that his negative attitude runs the risk of poi-
soning the hearts of the other Boros and undermining any
peace efforts. For the most part, in deference to the angel,
Tajic keeps his views to himself.

that strike force. A firefist (paladin) would be a strong
addition, or might replace a fighter or a cleric. A lightly
armored swiftblade (ranger) could help the group in situ-
ations involving s tealth or e xploration.

RANK AND RENOWN

By gaining renown as a member of the Boros Legion.
you can ascend through an ordered series of ranks
within the guild. Promotion always requires the ap-
proval of a superior officer. It is a reward for services
rendered to the guild, rather than an automatic conse-
quence of increased renown.
In addition, certain positions become available to you
when both your renown and your character level reach
certain thresholds.
