[QUOTE="MonkeezOnFire, post: 7864066, member: 6784845"] [B]NPC Guild Associations[/B] Zariel and the Hellriders - Boros As an angel that is quick to jump into battle Zariel falls easily into the Boros. The hellriders are a Boros legion that she personally led during her time serving the guild. Once it was decided they would launch their crusade they were given their current name. Thavius Kreeg - Boros Due to Zariel’s influence before her crusade Elturel is mostly Boros. As such Thavius is an old Boros commander who now oversees the day to day running of Elturel instead of marching into battle. When the district was attacked by the undead forces of an Orzhov vampire, Zariel answered his call for divine intervention, but in a form he didn’t expect. Ulder Ravengard and the Flaming Fist - Azorius The group that tries to keep order and often in a brutal manner fits the Azorius nicely. Bonus points for having tensions with the Boros leadership of Elturel. The Watch - Azorius A section of the Azorius dedicated to keeping order in the Upper Precinct. As the dedicated force to keeping the peace in the upper city there are tensions between the Watch and the Azorius officers in the rest of the city. Thalamra Vanthampur Family - Orzhov Thalamra started out serving the syndicate as an enforcer. However, she managed to surprise the noble families of the guild by making smart investments and avoiding incurring debts that she was unable to pay. Instead of forcing her out the guild now totes her and her family as an example to others of what can be achieved with dedication to the Orzhov. Tarina and The Guild - Dimir The spy Tarina is an independent agent of the Dimir that works with Captain Zodge in a relationship that benefits them both. When Tarina gets in a bit too deep going to Zodge with detailed reports of the criminal activity of whoever currently wants her head. With the business she’s in most of the time she doesn’t even have to falsify any evidence. Zodge is aware that Tarina is up to some shady activities but the steady stream of arrests he makes due to her tips makes him look good. When the party finds her she’s received word that a group of smugglers that she scooped some goods from has got wind of where she is. Cult of the Dead Three - Various Bane (Azorius), Bhaal (Golgari) and Myrkul (Orzhov) are mortals from Ravnica that take the ideologies of the guilds that were once a part of to various extremes. In their pride they sought to overthrow the current guilds and take power for themselves. Their plot was discovered at a point very close to succeeding. The guilds agreed to execute the trio and erase their existence from all records so that no others would get any ideas that there was weakness in the system. However, not all traces were destroyed. If a citizen of Ravnica is filled with enough resentment and hatred they might find hints and traces of a secret group that continues the work of Bane, Bhaal and Myrkul. Falaster Fisk, Sylvira Savikas and Traxigor - Rakdos While the angels of Boros or Orzhov speak little about their origin, the demons of the Cult of Rakdos enjoy the existential dread such knowledge can instill in people. These characters are key to leading the characters to Avernus which means they are privy to information about the planes. Also Falaster is described as having a crimson beard which is the most Rakdos thing possible and Sylvira is a tiefling with a quasit familiar. Patriar Familities - Various In general guild association is not required to be shared by families. Thus it is common for the patriar families to have members and influence in several guilds. Many of the families are notable for trading in certain goods or services which do not specifically lend them a specific guild their associations shift over the course of generations. [/QUOTE]
