C ONTACTS
The members of the Gr uul Clans rely on each other
even as they vie for territory and glory. Their encounters
with members of other guilds are more often violent
than friendly, but occasional bonds do form.
Roll twice on the Gruul Contacts table (for an ally and
a rival) and once on the Non-Gruul Contacts table.

One of my parents is a renowned warrior in my clan.
My sibling has the ear of the clan chief.
I have cousins in a different clan.
When we were younger, I was romantically involved
with a prominent warrior in my clan.
A druid in my clan believes I have a destiny to fulfill.
The warrior who trained me remembers me for my
exceptional potential.
My clan chief killed one of my parents, who had
challenged the chief for leadership of the clan. Some
combination of resentment and remorse stirs the
clan chief to help me sometimes.

mation about other clans' movements.
3 I once caught and released a Dimir spy.

I consult with a Golgari shaman for spiritual guidance
at times.
Roll an additional Gruul contact; you can decide if the

An lzzet scientist blames the Gruul for the destruc-
tion of his li fe's work in a raid, but seems to think that
I'm not like other Gruul.
I foolishly borrowed money from an Orzhov syndic to
in dulge a shameful vice.
A close friend left our clan and joined the Cult of
Rakdos.
A d istant relative is trying to recruit me i nto the
Selesnya Conclave.
10 I stopped a Simic biomancer from t rapping wild
beasts to perform vile experiments on them.

How Do I FIT IN?
In service of a simple goal, you have a simple part
to play: Fight. Unleash your rage. F latten buildings
and defeat those who stand in your way. Be Gruul, in
your own way.
You will frequently be summoned to par ticipate in a
raid your clan is launching against the city or against a
group of its defenders. Your clan leader might also send
you on a special mission, though it would almost cer-
tainly still qualify as a raid. You might join a small group
