The Plane of Ravnica

Ravnica: City of Guilds is a Magic: The Gathering set set on the plane of Ravnica, a world entirely covered by a massive, layered city that has stood for millennia. This ecumenopolis is governed by ten guilds, each representing a pair of colors and fulfilling a specific role in society under the ancient magical treaty known as the Guildpact, which has maintained order for over ten thousand years.

The Conflict on Ravnica

In the story of Ravnica: City of Guilds, guild politics and rivalries simmer beneath the surface of the sprawling city. The ten guilds balance power through the Guildpact, yet underlying tensions and subtle threats begin to emerge. As the guilds pursue their agendas across the urban districts, forces stir that may challenge the longstanding peace and stability of Ravnica.
