Guildmasters Guide To Ravnica

B OROS LEGION

Adventures involving the Boros Legion might have a

military bent, focusing on small-scale conflict between

groups of Boros soldiers and bands of rioters or raiders.

The legion is generally a prominent force for law and

good in Ravnica, which makes it an appropriate home

guild for noble-minded player characters. Its holy bent

also makes villains drawn from its ranks particularly

dangerous and perhaps tragic.

L EGION GARRISO N

The Boros Legion maintains garrisons throughout

Ravnica, ensuring that every neighborhood has a strong

military presence. They range from towering fortresses

to small bunkers like the one shown in map 4.2.

LECION GARRISON ADVENTURES

Designed with defense foremost, a Boros garrison is

well suited for adventures that challenge the characters

to find a way in or fight their way out. The Legion Garri-

son Adventures table offers a number of possibil ities.

LEGION GARRISON MAP

Access to the garrison is limited to a pair of 20-foot-wide

walkways elevated above street level and protected by

archers behind arrow slits. Two antechambers give the

Boros soldiers and angels ample opportunity to screen

anyone who seeks to gain entrance. Beyond them is a

large hall where troops can be mustered. To one side of

the mustering hall is a barracks area, with a kitchen, a

mess, food storage, and guest quarters on the other side.

An extensive array of wall niches in the lower tier (at

street level) provides storage space for archived records

and the like, and a basement beneath that includes food

storage and a well for fresh water, enabling the garrison

to withstand a long siege.

The upper tier includes more large halls, the com-

mander's quarters and office. and several niches-ac-

cessible only by flying from outside the garrison-that

serve as living quarters and watch-posts for the angels

stationed here. Parapets on the rooftop provide cover

for humanoid archers as well, and the broad open space

that they surround offers room for training and spar-

ring. Grass-covered ridges separate different training

areas and add a contrasting touch of nature's beauty to

the otherwise stony building.

BOROS AS CAMPAIGN VILLAI NS

Not too long ago, the leaders of the Boros Legion valued

zeal more highly than justice, believing that their mil-

itary might made their cause right and just. Although

the current guildmaster. Aurelia, has reversed her

stance on the issue. some voices within the legion still

espouse these views. Boros villains are typically intoler-

ant, self-righteous warmongers who abuse their power
