Ravnica
''Ravnica'' is a '' Magic: The Gathering'' block that consists of three expert-level expansion sets: ''Ravnica: City of Guilds'' (October 7, 2005), ''Guildpact'' (February 3, 2006), and ''Dissension'' (May 5, 2006). Following in the tradition of other ''Magic'' blocks, ''Ravnica'' takes place in a plane of the multiverse that was previously unexplored in the game's backstory. The world of Ravnica is an ecumenopolis, a vast city that covers the entire surface of its planet, and is home to a diverse assortment of sentient races. Much power in Ravnica is held by the ten "guilds", political factions that each represent a combination of two of ''Magic''s five colors. The mythology of ''Ravnica'' is loosely derived from Slavic folklore, and the character names reflect this. This plane was revisited in the ''Return to Ravnica'' block, and the ''Guilds of Ravnica,'' '' Ravnica Allegiance'' and ''War of the Spark'' sets. Design ''Ravnica'' was conceived following the success of ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Rosewater wrote that "once we knew that the year was two normal guild sets followed by an event set, the Creative team was able to start working on the fine details of the story. The first two sets would take place mostly while the events of ''Ixalan'' and ''Dominaria'' were going on, which meant the Gatewatch would be busy elsewhere. These two ...

Dungeons & Dragons Campaign Settings
The flexibility of the ''Dungeons & Dragons'' (''D&D'') game rules means that Dungeon Masters (DM) are free to create their own fantasy campaign settings. For those who wanted a pre-packaged setting in which to play, TSR, Wizards of the Coast (WotC), and other publishers have created many settings in which ''D&D'' games can be based; of these, the ''Forgotten Realms'', an epic fantasy world, has been one of the most successful and critically acclaimed settings. Many campaign settings include standard sword and sorcery environments, while others borrow Asian, Central American, swashbuckling, horror and even space-travel themes. These are official ''D&D'' campaign settings that have been published or licensed by TSR or WotC. ''Theros'' and ''Ravnica'' originated in the '' Magic: The Gathering'' franchise, another property of WotC. A number of the settings here are no longer published or officially licensed, though all have active fan bases. ''Birthright'' A setting in which t ...
