Azor I

Known as the Arbiter of Law and the first Supreme Judge, Azor is the parun of the Azorius Senate. He came from another world to restore the chaos on the plane of Ravnica. As an immensely powerful lawmage, hieromancer, and sphinx, he deems himself to be the perfect judge. His word is law and everyone should be grateful for his attention.

The Guildpact. Azor wrote and casted one of the most powerful and complex spells in the multiverse: the Guildpact. He managed to convince the other guild paruns to collaborate to create, in his mind, the perfect government system. However, Azor suddenly vanished and the guilds were left with their own interpretations of the pact. The guilds made their own plans and began scheming to get as much power as possible. Although the pact held together, which resulted in relative peace, none of them could get rid of the intricate and unbreakable bindings. This meant they became stuck in their tasks as stipulated by the pact which became more and more extreme with no way to escape. Only a delicate balance remained where one small thread might snap it all.

Supreme Legal Authority. Azor chooses up to six creatures he can see within 90 feet of him.

The affected target can't take that action for 1 minute. At the end of each of the target's turns, it can end the effect on itself with a successful DC 25 Intelligence saving throw. A target that succeeds on the saving throw becomes immune to Azor's Supreme Legal Authority for 24 hours.

Beasts

Even though civilization is dominating the Ravnican landscape, beasts are still thriving all over the plane. From the large Indrik and Ceratok packbeasts in the streets, to the small rats in the Undercity, to the primal hunters in the Rubblebelt. When people look around, they are everywhere.

Swarm of Hell Rats

Hell Rats are attracted to the carnival leftovers of the Rakdos. The rats can be found anywhere where they can cleanup some body parts of a slaughterhouse party or from an exploding performance.

Ilharg, the Raze-Boar

According to the Old Ways of the Gruul, the awakening of Ilharg is the first revelation of the End-Raze, the apocalypse that will end all civilization and return Ravnica to its primal state. Ilharg's hoofs will trample down every brick of the city and its flaming roar will burn down the citadels out of the skies. All the the while warbands will crush any leftover resistance.

It is believed that Ilharg is only the beginning of the End-Raze and other animal gods will follow, such as Kashath the Stalker. However, the Zhur-Taa Clan is very secretive about their religious revelations and prepare themselves for unknown events that still need to unfold.

Immortal Nature. Because of a divine power within Ilharg, he doesn't require food, drink, or sleep.

End-Raze (Mythic Trait; Recharges after a Short or Long Rest). If Ilharg is reduced to 0 hit points, he doesn't die or fall unconscious. Instead, he regains 300 hit points. In addition, Ilharg summons three creatures from the Gruul Monster list (see chapter 3 of this book), with a maximum total of 8,400 XP, to announce the End-Raze. These creatures magically form in unoccupied spaces within 300 feet of Ilharg and obey his commands until they are destroyed or until he dismisses them as an action.

Legendary Resistance (3/Day). If Ilharg fails a saving throw, he can choose to succeed instead.

Magic Resistance. Ilharg has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.

Magic Weapons. Ilharg's weapon attacks are magical.

Relentless Raze (Only active during the End-Raze). If damage reduces Ilharg to 0 hit points, he must make a Constitution saving throw with a DC of 5 + the damage taken, unless the damage is from a critical hit or if there are no allies within 120 feet. On a success, he drops to 1 hit point instead.

Siege Monster. Ilharg deals double damage to objects and structures.

Trampling Charge. If Ilharg moves at least 20 feet straight toward a creature on its turn and then hits it with a tusk attack, that target must succeed on a DC 24 Strength saving throw or be stunned until the end of its next turn. If the target is stunned, Ilharg can make one stomp attack against it as a bonus action.

Actions

Multiattack. Ilharg makes three tusk attacks.

Tusk. Melee Weapon Attack: +16 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 16 (3d4 + 9) slashing damage.

Stomp. Melee Weapon Attack: +16 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 27 (3d10 + 9) bludgeoning damage.

Fire Breath (Recharge 5–6). Ilharg exhales fire in a 90-foot cone. Each creature in that area must make a DC 22 Dexterity saving throw, taking 91 (26d6) fire damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

Legendary Actions

Ilharg can take 3 legendary actions, choosing from the options below. Only one legendary action can be used at a time and only at the end of another creature's turn. Ilharg regains spent legendary actions at the start of its turn.

Move. Ilharg moves up to half its speed without provoking attacks of opportunity.

Tusk. Ilharg makes one tusk attack.

Raze the City (Costs 3 Actions). Each allied creature within 120 feet of Ilharg may use its reaction to move up to half its speed toward a creature or structure that it can see, provided it isn't already within 5 feet of that target. It then may make one melee attack against that target if it is able to do so.

Mythic Actions

If Ilharg's Relentless Rage trait is active, he can use the options below as legendary actions.

Stomp. Ilharg makes one stomp attack.

Crushing Roar (Costs 2 Actions). Ilharg emits a thunderous sound wave in a 30-foot cone. Each creature in that area must make a DC 22 Constitution saving throw, taking 21 (6d6) thunder damage on a failed save and be knocked prone. Buildings and other structures start to crumble down and take full damage.

Divine Core (Costs 3 Actions). Ilharg can choose one object within 120 feet that is not naturally grown or formed. The object will momentarily heat up and glow red-hot. Any creature in physical contact with the object takes 13 (3d8) fire damage. If a creature is standing on, holding or wearing the object and takes damage from it, the creature must succeed on a DC 22 Constitution saving throw or drop the object if it can. If it doesn't drop the object, it has disadvantage on attack rolls and ability checks until the start of Ilharg's next turn.

Constructs

Ravnica is a plane with highly advanced technology. Electricity and plumbing is widely used by most of the guilds and many of them even use mechanically driven constructs, going as far to rely on them for their daily needs. In this section, some constructs are listed than can be found patrolling the streets all day and night.

Constructed Nature. A construct doesn't require air, food, drink, or sleep.

Mizzium Alloy. Any critical hit against the tank becomes a normal hit. When the tank is subjected to a magical effect that allows it to make a saving throw to take only half damage, it instead takes no damage if it succeeds on the saving throw.

Trampling Charge. If the tank moves at least 20 feet straight toward a creature and then hits it with a slam attack on the same turn, that target must succeed on a DC 19 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone. If the target is prone, the tank can make one slam attack against it as a bonus action.

Actions

Multiattack. The tank makes one slam attack. It can choose to use either molten spray or mizzium bombard before or after the attack.

Slam. Melee Weapon Attack: +11 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 14 (2d6 + 7) bludgeoning damage.

Molten Spray. The tank lets loose a 30-foot line of molten mizzium. Each creature in the area must make a DC 17 Dexterity saving throw, taking 16 (3d10) fire damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

Mizzium Bombard (Recharge 5-6). The tank launches a hail of molten projectiles in a 20-foot-radius, 40-foot-high cylinder centered on a point it can see within 60 feet of it. Each creature in the area must make a DC 16 Dexterity saving throw. A creature takes 27 (5d10) fire damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

Actions

Multiattack. The sweeper can use its Sweep and makes two garbage picker attacks.

Garbage Picker. Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 5 (1d4 + 3) piercing damage. The cleaner can also grapple the target (escape DC 12) if it is a creature.

Sweep. The sweeper moves up to half its speed straight towards a creature it can see. The target must succeed on a DC 12 Dexterity save or take 5 (1d10) bludgeoning damage and be knocked prone. The target automatically fails its save when grappled.

Prying Eyes. The thopter can be used by another creature as its eyes and ears, forming a telepathic bond with its master. While the two are bonded, the master can sense what the thopter senses and speak through the thopter as long as they are within 1 mile of each other.

Actions

Multiattack. The thopter makes two attacks with its spike.

Barbed Spike. Attack Style: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 5 (1d4 + 3) piercing damage.

Cease Movement (Recharge 6). The thopter targets one humanoid it can see within 10 feet of it. The target must succeed a DC 12 Wisdom saving throw against this magic or be restrained for 1 minute. The target can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.

             The Obzedat need a way to ensure the collection of all              the outstanding debts of their debtors. Usually this              goes without any problems, most citizens are too         afraid to not pay. When it gets a bit more challenging,       there are enforcers or giants that can be sent to the      offenders. However, there are still some that manage to      flee or hide from their obligations. This is when the    Deathless Collectors come into play. As even just their presence will cause a whole neighbourhood to suffer from any small infractions against the Orzhov, they are seldomly seen outside the Orzhov crypts. It is said they can find a debtor by just tasting a sample of their blood.

Izzet Djinn

Djinni are very powerful elemental forces. They
are one of the few denizens on Ravnica that are
able to go toe to toe with dragons. They were
deemed so dangerous that their power was
restricted by the Guildpact itself. The few Djinni
still alive are mostly used by the Izzet as forced
laborers in the polar districts where they are restricted
by the cold. Now and then, a Djinn will show up in
another district, where they are often mistaken for a
natural disaster instead of a living entity.

Living Structures

Living Structures are large animated vines and branches with parts of buildings inside of them. They are often utilized for blunt work when the normal workforce and army are at their limit. They are animated by druids and shamans of the Selesnya Conclave and Gruul Clans. While using similar rituals, the results are vastly different. Selesnya elementals are usually in harmony with the temples and terraces built on them, while Gruul elementals are more chaotic and incorporate rubble and other parts they can find from within the Rubblebelt.

Conjured by Magic. A ritual of 24 hours with a summoning circle of at least five druids containing one or more Conclave Dryads, Druids of the Old Ways, or Woodshapers are necessary to summon a living structure.

Elemental Nature. A living structure doesn't require air, food, drink, or sleep.

Customizing a Living Structure

All living structures are made for a specific purpose,
even elementals as large as Vitu-Ghazi. Roll for a
feature appropriate to their function, or consider
choosing one for your story. Perhaps some Selesnyan
druids want to cleanse impurities within their district
and they have need for an elemental to tear down
buildings, or maybe Gruul shamans try to protect their
hunting grounds with stealthy elementals burrowed
arround in the soil.

                            Vitu-Ghazi, the Unity Tree, is a mammoth                            tree that acts as the guildhall of the Selesnya                           Conclave. Many terraces and temples are built                     within its endless branches. Selesnya members            visit the tree to behold the power of Mat'Selesnya,       while vodas and spiritual leaders congregate here to listen     to her voice (see also GGR p. 109).

Where Trostani is the spiritual aspect of Mat'Selesnya, Vitu-Ghazi is the body. Only in desperate times when a circle of druids and dryads come together, or a very powerful individual with a connection to the Worldsoul, can Vitu-Ghazi be awakened to protect the ideals of the Conclave.

Massacre Girl

Massacre Girls is a lunatic Rakdos spiker gang leader and mercenary. She carries out any contract for money without asking questions and executes them without regards of the lives lost to reach that goal. She revels in terror and murder wherever she goes. This has made her one of the most fearsome assassins on Ravnica.

She is the number one on the Azorius most wanted list, but no arrester dares to take her in as she eludes being captured by threatening the lives of officials who attempt to investigate or detain her. She once killed an Azorius arrestor for coin and a second just for fun. Once, the father of one of her victims tried to kill her in vengeance. When he failed, she slaughtered the male line of the family and blinded the women.

Melek

Melek was created by Maree, the goblin chamberlain of
Niv-Mizzet. One of the most impressive weirds ever
created from many known and unknown elements
mashed together. He was intended to run as Maze-
Runner for the Izzet, its wizard magic and elemental
power being ideal for the adaptive challenges he
would face.

Oozes

Author's note: Weirdly enough, all mentions of Oozes were absent in the GGR (except for that one possible encounter in Krenko's Way). As Oozes are prominently present on Ravnica, I added some of the lower levelled species from the MM to the list, and some unique ones for everyone to play with.

Oozes from Ravnica are green slime-like creatures with an amorphous form. They consume organic materials to sustain their growth. Their highly adaptive form makes them seem like cunning ambushers, but they actually just follow their primal instincts. These predictable patterns can be easily manipulated by the guilds for other purposes.

Specifically the Golgari Swarm and Simic Combine adopted a strong liking to them. As oozes consume and desolve anything in their path, Golgari druids use them to clean up waste in the sewer systems. They are also used for more nefarious purposes, such as laying traps for unsuspected travellers in the mazes of Korozda, or removing all traces of a corpse from a crime scene.

On the other hand, Simic biomancers use oozes for many of their experiments and try to understand their adaptability. Vannifar, the Speaker of Zonot Three, even incorporated proto-plasmic ooze into her body. Furthermore, cytoplasm and other Simic inventions were originally adapted from ooze slime, and some secret sinister experiments might be lurking in the deep Zonots of the Combine.

Amorphous. The slime can move through a space as narrow as 1 inch wide without squeezing.

Mimicry. The slime can mimic sounds it has heard, including voices. A creature that hears the sounds it makes can tell they are imitations with a successful DC 13 Wisdom (Insight) check.

Miming. As a bonus action, the slime takes the form of a humanoid of medium size or smaller it can see. The slime copies the size, speed, armor (including shields) and weapons the humanoid is carrying, but still clearly looks like a green ooze. If any of the items is magical, the slime uses the closest non-magical item variant instead, as shown on the Armor and Weapon table of the PHB (p. 144 and 149). As the weapons are made of ooze slime, they deal an extra 1d6 acid damage. The slime uses Strength for its melee weapon attacks and Dexterity for its ranged weapon attacks and is proficient with any of the items it is using.

Actions

Multiattack. The slime makes two weapon attacks.

Pseudopod. Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 2 (1d4) acid damage.

Copy Melee Weapon Attack. See Miming, +4 to hit.

Copy Ranged Weapon Attack. See Miming, +4 to hit.

Kraj's Traits

Ideal: "All life is one."
Bond: "No more adaptation is needed when Ravnica is united with me."
Flaw: "Nothing is more perfect than me."

Orzhova

After the creation of the Guildpact, the Obzedat found themselves in a peculiar position. They were
instructed to keep the Ravnican
population in place with their religious
devotion. While it is debatable if they
ever worshiped a real god, they soon
began to move away from any ancient
rituals and only praised the accumulation
of wealth. However, they were afraid
that any of their followers would
question them, and thus they created
Orzhova, a majestic angel to act as an
idol to keep the soldiers in line. She was
meant to squash any resistance of the
church and inspire awe for those that
kept their promises. Although it was never
necessary to activate her, she is still
silently hidden deep away in an Orzhov mausoleum for when times are dire. Her influence can still be found all around the guild, where her wings can be seen displayed on the soldier's armor or her name reused for the Church of Deals.

Immortal Nature. Orzhova doesn't require food, drink, or sleep.

Flyby. Orzhova doesn't provoke an opportunity attack when it flies out of an enemy's reach.

Innate Spellcasting. Orzhova's innate spellcasting ability is Charisma (spell save DC 24, +16 to hit with spell attacks). She can innately cast the following spells, requiring no material components:

At will: command (at 3rd-level), darkness, detect evil and good

3/day each: bestow curse, dispel evil and good, vampiric touch (at 6th-level)

1/day each: commune, dominate person, resurrection

Legendary Resistance (3/Day). If Orzhova fails a saving throw, she can choose to succeed instead.

Magic Resistance. Orzhova has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.

Actions

Multiattack. Orzhova makes three attacks with her scythe. She can cast one of her innate spells with a casting time of 1 action in place of one scythe attack.

Scythe. Melee Weapon Attack: +12 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 10 (2d4 + 5) slashing damage plus 27 (6d8) necrotic damage.

Merciless Eviction (Recharge 6). Orzhova opens a momentary ethereal rift that blots out the sun. Each creature within a 60-foot radius centered on Orzhova must make a DC 24 Constitution saving. On a failure, a creature takes 45 (10d8) necrotic damage, and it is blinded for 1 minute. On a success, a creature takes half as much damage and isn't blinded. A blinded creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.

Legendary Actions

Orzhova can take 3 legendary actions, choosing from the options below. Only one legendary action option can be used at a time and only at the end of another creature's turn. Orzhova regains spent legendary actions at the start of its turn.

Forced Obedience. A target that Orzhova can see must succeed on a DC 18 Wisdom saving throw or bow until the end of its next turn. Until this bow ends, the target can't take actions or reactions, and its speed is 0 and can't be increased.

Scythe Attack (Costs 2 Actions). Orzhova makes one scythe attack.

Frighten Foes (Costs 3 Actions). Orzhova targets up to four creatures she can see within 30 feet of her. Each target must succeed on a DC 24 Wisdom saving throw or be frightened of her until the end of her next turn. Any target within 5 feet of Orzhova has disadvantage on the saving throw.

Sisters of Stone Death

The three gorgon Sisters of Stone Death were originally subordinates of the Golgari parun Svogthir. However, they became disgruntled with his leadership and overthrew him. Although the sisters could not kill him, they imprisoned the lich in the tomb that is now known as Svogthos. They rules the guild until being overthrown by Savra and her brother Jarad.

The three sisters are a formidable foe together. With their killing glare, they each work in unison to kill there prey outright. Lydya screeches from the background, goading enemies into facing the sisters in direct combat. Lexya turns these trophies to stone. Ludmilla, eldest and most powerful of the three, uses her Golgari magic to animate the dead and turn them into her own necrolithic servants.

Lexya: Suprise Gaze. During Lexya's first turn in combat, creatures have disadvantage on the saving throw against her Petrifying Gaze.
Lydya: Goading. Lydya can use a bonus action to target one creature she can see. The target must succeed on a DC 16 Wisdom saving throw or be forced keep its eyes open until the end of their next turn.
Ludmilla: Necroliths. Ludmilla's Innate Spellcasting trait includes animate objects, which she can cast once per day and only on creatures petrified by one of the sister's gazes.

Innate Spellcasting. The medusa's innate spellcasting ability is Intelligence (spell save DC 16). The medusa can innately cast the following spells, requiring no material components:

1/day each: expeditious retreat, locate creature, misty step

Legendary Resistance (1/Day). If the medusa fails a saving throw, it can choose to succeed instead.

Magic Resistance. The medusa has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.

Actions

Multiattack. The medusa makes two claw attacks. It can also use Petrifying Gaze before or after making these attacks.

Claw. Melee Weapon Attack: +9 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 14 (2d8 + 5) and 14 (4d6) poison damage.

Petrifying Gaze. The medusa fixes its gaze on one creature within 60 feet of it that it can see and that can see its eyes. The target must make a DC 16 Constitution saving throw. If the saving throw fails by 5 or more, the creature is instantly petrified. Otherwise, a creature that fails the save begins to turn to stone and is restrained. The restrained creature must repeat the saving throw at the end of its next turn, becoming petrified on a failure or ending the effect on a success. The petrification lasts until the creature is freed by a greater restoration spell or similar magic.

Legendary Actions

If three sisters of stone death are all within 30 feet of each other, they can collectively take 3 legendary actions, choosing from the options below. Only one legendary action option can be used at a time, and only at the end of another creature's turn. The sisters regain spent legendary actions at the start of the turn of the medusa with the highest initiative.

Numbing Claw. One of the sisters makes one claw attack within range. If the attack hits, the creature must succeed on a DC 16 Constitution saving throw or become poisoned until the end of their next turn.

Frighten Foes (Costs 3 Actions). The sisters target up to three creatures they can see within 30 feet of them. Each target must succeed on a DC 16 Wisdom saving throw or be frightened of them until the end of the target's turn. Any target within 5 feet of a sister has disadvantage on the saving throw.

Soulsworn

When an Azorius member dies, it has the opportunity to continue serving the law as a bound spirit. Their faces
are wrapped in clothes to severe all connections to
their past, except for their knowledge to serve the law.
They protect arbiters, act as juries and advisors, and
can be used to detain lawbreakers.

                           Created as part of the Warmind Initiative,                            atop many of the Boros fortresses sit empty                           sets of armor. They can be charged by Izzet-                     designed conductors, giving form to electric            elemental soldiers to defend the Legion if needed.       Although they are usually short lived, just like their close     relatives the flame-kin, they are intelligent beings and sometimes exist for months or even years after their conductor has been shutdown. Discrimination against their existence within in the Boros is not unheard of and can harbour long standing grudges against other guild members.

Thrull Grotesque

The Orzhov need to have reliable mindless soldiers and transports to protect their most precious belongings, which can be more than just mere coins. For this, they created towering thrulls that cannot defy their commands. They are created by the fleshmages by stitching many of cast-off bodies of the indebted together. The thrulls often have malformed arms or mouths all over the body, but always wear the infamous faceplates of their owner. Some of the thrull grotesques described below can be found in the employ of the Orzhov.

Debtor's Transport. The debtor's transports carry a sarcophagus with them with trapped spirits. These spirits are usually of special interest for the Orzhov, such as uncooperative debtors or old patriarchs fallen out of favor. You can also replace one of the spirits with a plot relevant (spirit) NPC your players need to free.

Mawed Thrull. As the prospect for work in the afterlife is a great fear for many debtors, they try to find alternatives to pay of their debt. One of those is the wrongful belief to sacrifice themselves to the mawed thrulls, lining themselves up to a useless gruesome death. A mawed thrull has a monstrous large maw inside its belly, which can be used to swallow any smaller creature whole.

Treasury Thrull. The simplest of their type, the treasury thrulls carry treasures around. When they are defeated, consider rolling on the Treasure Hoard: Challenge 5—10 (DMG p. 133) for a large Orzhov hoard. Or maybe the thrull carries an important item your players need for their quest.

Vampires

See GRR (p. 223-224) for more information about Ravnican vampires.

Flyby. The vampire doesn't provoke an opportunity attack when it flies out of an enemy's reach.

Keen Sight. The vampire has advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on sight.

Magic Resistance. The vampire has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.

Shadow Stealth. While in dim light or darkness, the vampire can take the Hide action as a bonus action.

Sunlight Sensitivity. While in sunlight, the vampire has disadvantage on attack rolls, as well as on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on sight.

Actions

Multiattack. The vampire makes two attacks, only one of which can be a bite attack. It can then use its Psychic Drain if it grapples a creature.

Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 5 ft., one willing creature, or a creature that is grappled by the vampire, incapacitated, or restrained. Hit: 7 (1d6 + 4) piercing damage plus 10 (3d6) necrotic damage. The target's hit point maximum is reduced by an amount equal to the necrotic damage taken, and the vampire regains hit points equal to that amount. The reduction lasts until the target finishes a long rest. The target dies if its hit point maximum is reduced to 0.

Unarmed Strike. Melee Weapon Attack: +9 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 9 (1d8 + 5) bludgeoning damage. The vampire can also grapple the target (escape DC 17) if it is a creature and the vampire has a hand free.

Psychic Drain. The vampire targets a creature that is grappled by it. The target must make a DC 17 Intelligence saving throw, with disadvantage if the vampire has previously consumed the target's blood. On a failed save, the target takes 28 (8d6) psychic damage, or half as much on a successful save. If the save fails by 5 or more, the target also ages the same amount of years, and the vampire regains hit points equal to that amount. The aged creature must repeat the saving throw at the end of its next turn, reducing their Strength and Intelligence score by 1d10 on a failure. The target dies if its either is reduced to 0.
The aging effect and reduced attributes can be reversed with a heal or greater restoration spell within 24 hours.

Szadek

As the master of puppets and strings, Szadek was the first mind drinker vampire and the founder of House Dimir. His machinations can span hundreds, if not thousands, of years with his ultimate plan to rule Ravnica by himself.

During the Decamillennial ceremony, Szadek almost destroyed the Guildpact to further his goal, but got arrested instead. After his verdict and subsequent execution, he became a ghost. Although his final fate remains a mystery, some Dimir operatives believe Szadek is still pulling the strings from the ethereal plane.

Lord of Secrets Szadek always works from the shadows. Other vampires leave their signature on their victims, the fang holes in the neck. Others make thralls of their victims. The Lord of Secrets keeps his doings secret.

When Szadek sinks his silvery teeth into his victims, they drain knowledge and memories instead of blood. The first memory consumed is that of the bite itself. Then the victim starts to lose any knowledge of seeing the vampire in the first place and any remnant that could lead to the Dimir.

It will, rarely, happen that someone manages to penetrate all defenses of the Dimir. Ironically, Szadek has one final trick to use against these infiltrators: simply revealing the truth. He is confident that no one can be prepared for the unthinkable truth of House Dimir.

---

Innate Spellcasting (Psionics). The vampire's innate spellcasting ability is Intelligence (spell save DC 23). It can innately cast the following spells, requiring no components:

At will: dissonant whispers (at 4th-level), encode thoughts (can be used with Mind Siphon), sending

3/day each: synaptic static, gaseous form, phantasmal killer

1/day each: dominate person, dream, mental prison, symbol

Inscrutable. Szadek is immune to any effect that would sense his emotions or read his thoughts, as well as any divination spell that he refuses. Wisdom (Insight) checks made to ascertain his intentions or sincerity have disadvantage.

Legendary Resistance (3/Day). If Szadek fails a saving throw, he can choose to succeed instead.

Magic Resistance. Szadek has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.

Shadow Stealth. While in dim light or darkness, Szadek can take the Hide action as a bonus action.

Actions

Multiattack. Szadek can use its Mind Siphon and makes three melee attacks, only one of which can be a bite attack.

Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +12 to hit, reach 5 ft., one willing creature, or a creature that is grappled by Szadek, incapacitated, or restrained. Hit: 12 (2d6 + 5) piercing damage plus 21 (6d6) necrotic damage. If the target is humanoid, it must succeed on a DC 23 Charisma saving throw or be charmed by Szadek for 1 minute. While charmed in this way, the target is infatuated with Szadek. The target's hit point maximum is reduced by an amount equal to the necrotic damage taken, and Szadek regains hit points equal to that amount. The reduction lasts until the target finishes a long rest. The target dies if its hit point maximum is reduced to 0.

Unarmed Strike. Melee Weapon Attack: +11 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 16 (2d8 + 7) bludgeoning damage. Szadek can also grapple the target (escape DC 19) if it is a creature and Szadek has a hand free.

Mind Siphon. Szadek targets a creature it can see within 60 feet of it. The target must make a DC 23 Intelligence saving throw, with disadvantage if Szadek has previously consumed the target's blood. On a failed save, the target takes 36 (8d8) psychic damage, and Szadek can read the target's thoughts for one minute and affect the target's memory of an event that it experienced that lasted no more than 10 minutes. Szadek can permanently eliminate all memory of the event or allow the target to recall the event with perfect clarity and exacting detail.
On a successful save, the target takes half as much damage, and Szadek discerns the target's general emotional state but not its thoughts.
A remove curse or greater restoration spell cast on the target restores the creature's true memory.

Reactions

Glimpse the Unthinkable (Recharge 6). Szadek attempts to interrupt the train of thought of a creature within 30 feet performing an action that targets him. Szadek uses his reaction to telepathically reveal a sliver of truth about House Dimir to the creature. The creature must succeed on a DC 23 Intelligence saving throw or take 13 (3d8) psychic damage and the action has no effect.

Legendary Actions

Szadek can take 3 legendary actions, choosing from the options below. Only one legendary action option can be used at a time and only at the end of another creature's turn. Szadek regains spent legendary actions at the start of its turn.

Unarmed Strike. Szadek makes one attack with his unarmed strike.

Bite (Costs 2 Actions). Szadek makes one bite attack.

Cast a Spell (Costs 3 Actions). Szadek casts one of his innate spells.

Zeppelid

The gigantic Zeppelids are a sight to behold. According
to the Simic, they are related to lizards, but there is
little resemblance to be seen. These floating
creatures blot out the sun for five days during their
annual migration, which is dubbed the "Days of
Darkness" by the districts within their path. Their
trumpeting mating calls can be deafening for the
unfortunate citizens living below. While the wild Stratozeppelid are usually passive creatures, the Simic modified some of them to creature the fearsome "Assault Zeppelid" to rival the Boros Skyknights and Selesnyan Equenauts.

NPCs Extended

This section describes an extended NPC list to add to the humanoid roster of the guilds.

Ringmaster (Rakdos)

The original Rakdos Cult was organized in nine rings led by a ringmaster. Each ringmaster has its own territory, sphere of influence, and followers. Their territories are ruled by clubs and spike gangs, which can get violently contested by other guilds. The clubs provide several services, such as circus entertainment, food and drinks, pit fights, and erotica. These rings can change in the more mobile troupes. Well known ringmasters include: Judith, the Scourge Diva; Juri, Master of the Revue; and Panjandrum of Master Panjandrum's Extraordinary Carnival of Delights.

Woodshaper (Selesnya)

While the voda, a chosen dryad, is needed to connect a vernandi to the Worldsoul, the vernandi themselves have to be created in advance. Here, the woodshapers come into play to claim territory for the Conclave. Woodshapers are also the force behind the creation of various gardens and shape houses out of trees. Many large temples have been erected and animated by these fearsome druids.

Floating Disc. Some arbites move around with floating discs to stay aloof over the common people. They belief the law is just and clean and so should they be. Contact with the unclean could jeopardize their job. Those that use the disc have a flying speed of 20 feet (hover).

One with the Worldsoul. The woodshaper chooses one plant or elemental it can see within 30 feet of it. If the creature can hear the woodshaper, the creature uses its reaction to make one melee attack against a target that the woodshaper can see.

Boros Flying Fortress

One of the most fearsome weapons in the Boros Legion arsenal are the flying fortresses. Docked at several strategic locations, such as Kamen Fortress and Sunhome, they are seldomly used due to their high costs to operate. They have a large crew of soldiers, sky rocs, and can house battleangels overseen by a Warleader. They are staying afloat by two huge magical anti-gravity thrusters. To assault the enemy, they have hatches for skyjecs (or battleangels for the larger ones) that can bomb the enemy, a gigantic battering ram with a connected draw bridge to destroy fortifications and subsequently drop soldiers onto the battlefield, and a burning Boros Signet operated by the Warleader that can fire radiant beams.

Flying fortresses can only be deployed with explicit permission of a Warleader angel and only Aurelia can deploy their largest fortress Parhelion II (which also acts as the headquarters of the Boros angels). The fortress is similar to a gargantuan creature hovering stationary in the air. All effects originate from its location. When determining the difficulty of such an encounter, consider the lair to be one additional creature of challenge rating 15.

Debtors

Everyone needs money to live a good life on Ravnica. Many need some loans to pay their home or start a business, and where better to get them than the Orzhov? However, the Orzhov believe that debt and guilt is a necessary function of society. It creates structure so that society will not collapse in and on itself. However, the Orzhov have fallen for the idea that wealth equals power. They are adamant in obtaining as much wealth as possible, and thus getting as many debtors to the guild as possible. The debtors form an essential labor force for the guild. An person can only escape until they have worked enough to pay off their debts, which will follow them even into their afterlife as spirit.

Indebted. Any creature with an Intelligence score of 4 or higher that owns money to the Orzhov is indebted. Debts can be caused by loans, unpaid taxes, mandatory donations, or any form of fines. Another way is through extortion, which is described later this chapter. There is usually one specific individual that is the creditor, which has certain power over the debtor due to magically binding contracts set up by advokists. Creditors can be any sapient member of the Orzhov (with the exception of thrulls). Killing or removing the creditor will not resolve any of the contracts, as they will be magically carried over to the direct superior of the creditor. As the Obzedat ghosts and Orzhova are the leading figures of the guild, all debtors are also automatically indebted to them.

The creditor has the following traits against the debtor:

• Sinstriker. All melee and ranged attacks deal extra necrotic damage. The necrotic damage uses the same damage die as the original attack. As example, if a ranged spell attack deals 12 (2d8 + 3) piercing damage, the necrotic damage deals an additional 4 (1d8) damage.
• Penance. The creditor can cast command at will and suggestion once per day on the debtor. The save DC is based on the amount of debt, increasing by one for each order of magnitude as shown in the table below.
• Seize the Soul. If the debtor dies, it will rise as an Indentured Spirit (GGR, page 206) if the debts are not paid in full. If the creature dies on another plane of existence, the soul will be transported to the Ethereal Plane of Ravnica, where the spirit can be collected by the Orzhov. The spirit still has its own memories, but is fully subservient to the Orzhov. The spirit needs to work 50 hours for every zino in debt, after which it will be released. It can't be resurrected with anything less than a wish spell unless they worked off their obligations or when either the creditor or a member of the Obzedat ghost council agrees to it.

Hundred-Year Storm

Izzet experiments often result in unusual weather phenomenons that can last for weeks or even months. These are usually unintended, but can nevertheless be desired for any unknown future experiments. Aether channels, Mizzium constructs, Aerial-Antistatis Chambers, Lightning Projects, or a large Beacon could all be a reason for such a storm.

When at least five Izzet scientist work on an experiment together within a laboratory, they can accidentally initiate a hundred-year storm. The group must include Niv-Mizzet or at least one chemister (mage) or izmundi (archmage). When determining the difficulty of such an encounter, consider the hundred-year storm to be one additional creature of challenge rating 4.

Immortal Sun

After the War of the Spark, the Azorius came into the possession of the Immortal Sun, one of the most powerful artifacts in existence. When activated, it can give an individual immense god-like powers. Only strictly selected guardians are able to activate the sun. However, its intended purpose was to stop planeswalkers from leaving a plane. When fully activated it stops any interplanar travel across the world, except for adjacent planes of existence (such as the ethereal plane, fey world, or abyss) or demiplanes.

Guildless Creatures

Important to note is that any creature in the other guild lists are also possible to encounter as guidless. Even creatures such as an Archon of the Triumvirate, an Izzet Djinn, or a Warleader angel could have been demoralized by the stance of its own guild and began acting on their own.
