[Ravnica Battlmap] Tin Street Market 32x56

Tin Street is a well-known business quarter and neighborhood that is considered the longest unbroken thoroughfare in the Tenth District, if not all of Ravnica. A straight, broad and ancient road, Tin Street has become a major byway for those traveling across the district, as it is intersected by several other major streets and has entrances to numerous side-roads and a thousand alleyways. Shops, restaurants, inns and entertainment venues of all sorts can be found along the length of Tin Street, and a steady watch is kept by patrolling wojeks, ledev guardians, Azorius hussars and the occasional Haazda volunteer.

[Ravnica Battlemap]Interplanar Beacon 32x56

After Niv-Mizzet revealed that he had known about the existence of other planes, planeswalkers, and the threat of Nicol Bolas, he had Ral turn Project Lightning Bug into a beacon to call other planeswalkers to help fight Bolas. Unknown to Niv-Mizzet, this idea was implanted in his mind by a Dimir thoughtstealer, at the behest of Bolas himself.

After it was activated, the beacon appeared as bright sparkling lights in the air, pointing towards Ravnica, and it urged the planeswalkers deep in their soul to travel there. The pull of the beacon was very strong and took intense concentration to resist. However, when Bolas activated the Immortal Sun, this had the unfortunate effect of trapping the planeswalkers on Ravnica as ready targets for his Elderspell.

[Ravnica Battlemap]Interplanar Beacon (Interior) 32x56

As Bolas and his forces began their arrival, Ral was sent to activate the Interplanar Beacon while the Firemind flew off to delay Bolas for as long as possible. With the help of Kaya and Hekara, Ral was able to bypass the Azorius guards and enter the Beacon Tower, only to find Vraska and a possessed Lavinia waiting for them. At the coast of Hekara's life, Ral was able to defeat Vraska and free Lavinia. Ral activated the Interplanar Beacon to bring other planeswalkers to Ravnica for help, but it turned out that was exactly what Bolas was counting on.

Once the Beacon was active, Bolas brought the Immortal Sun to Ravnica, trapping the planeswalkers there. Like all the planeswalkers who'd been lured to Ravnica by the Beacon.

After the War and the Phyrexian Invasion, Vitu-Ghazi was weak and no longer able to sustain itself. The guildhall needed to lay semi-dormant to recover its strength, and Mat'Selesnya told Trostani that the tree needed space to lay new roots. A moor within a park on Selesnya territory was deemed the best place for Vitu-Ghazi to reconnect with the plane and properly recover. The tree was planted around a manor that was made a repository of the plane's history, including a library of Ravnican books and the original Guildpact.

Stomping Ground - Bolrac Clan Territory 32x56

The Bolrac clan is made up of large lumbering brutes, primarily cyclopes, ogres, trolls, and giants. The clan's leadership changes almost daily, since brutal battles for supremacy are as common as meals. The word "bolrac" is an old Ravnican word meaning "heavy hammers," and the Bolrac specialize in bringing down massive structures using mauls and battering rams. The only thing the Bolrac love more than destroying something smaller than them is toppling, crumbling, and then destroying something that was once larger. And if no opponent can be found, ogres of the Bolrac Clan will often pick fights with buildings.

[Ravnica Battlemap]Agyrem - the Ghost Quarter 32x56

Agyrem was the Ghost Quarter of Ravnica, where the ghosts of those who died lingered, instead of passing on. The laws of the broken Guildpact remained effective there. It has been described as a "blister" on the plane of Ravnica.

[Ravnica Battlemap]God-Pharaoh Statue 32x56

As Bolas's plans reached their culmination, he had already made his mark on the city of Ravnica. A magnificent statue of the dragon planeswalker now overlooked the Plaza of the Guildpact, bearing a dictator's infuriating smirk, an affront to everything Ravnica stood for. 

[Ravnica Battlemap]Firemind Vessel 32x56

Before the War of the Spark, Nicol Bolas slew Niv-Mizzet. Although the battle was brief, the Firemind mounted an impressive assault that demonstrated his immense thaumaturgical, mental, and physical might. Nicol Bolas and Niv-Mizzet engaged each other in epic combat that destroyed large portions of the city. The two dragons fought using a staggering array of magical, physical, and aerial attacks in which both drew blood. Bolas was even surprised when his mind-shattering touch could not penetrate the Firemind's mental barriers. As the fight wore on, Niv sensed his eventual defeat. After Niv collapsed a huge chunk of the city onto Bolas at a Simic zonot, Bolas emerged in a dark sphere of death and destruction, causing Niv to experience fear for the first time. Contemplating this strange feeling, Niv deemed it unworthy of the Firemind and brushed it aside as he roared in defiance and leaped toward his impending death. In the end, Niv-Mizzet’s skull and charred bones were all that remained.

However, the Firemind had been preparing for this. Together with Ugin, Niv-Mizzet made preparations to preserve his ghost in a device of his design. The little silver box with delicate filigree, sparking gears, and shimmering crystals could project Niv's essence above it and would preserve his ghost for at least a hundred years. With Sarkhan Vol's assistance, the box was delivered to the Meditation Plane for safekeeping under Ugin's watch. The Firemind provided clues for Jace, Vraska, and Ral Zarek to bring him back.

[Ravnica Battlemap]Zonot Three - Navika 32x56

Deep within Vannifar's home zonot of Zonot Three lies the laboratory of Navika, the hub of the Guardian Project. Lit by bioluminescent glow, the lab was built into, or possibly grown in the shape of, an enormous nautilus shell. Even within the guild, Navika has a mysterious and slightly sinister reputation as a place where Vannifar's elite biomancers push the boundaries of the law, biology, and ethics in the name of adaptation.

Most Simic have never even seen Navika, and even fewer have been inside. The work of the Guardian Project, authorized by Prime Speaker Vannifar, is the creation of increasing numbers of sapient humanoid hybrids intended to form an army of highly evolved soldiers. Each of these hybrids is a different fusion of humanoid characteristics with a mix of traits from other species.

[Innistrad Battlemap]Gavony Township

Gavony is the most populous province of Innistrad, where the humans remained strong and safe, sheltered behind the high walls of Thraben, the largest city of the Innistrad. While the surrounding settlements were constantly under assault, Thraben and its immense cathedral remained relatively safe. Small towns grew away from Thraben on Gavony's rocky moors. Small groups of trees stained the hills and moors of the province.

[Ravnica Battlemap]Zanikev, the Great Rot Farm (Modular Dungeon #1)

Whenever an area of Ravnica has fallen into ruin, the Golgari seek to sweep in, accelerate its decomposition, drain it of its resources, reseed it, nourish it, and—eventually—claim the revivified sector as their territory. Zanikev, the Great Rot Farm, is one particularly large Golgari reclamation zone that encompasses several former neighborhoods, an area of moss-coated and slime-choked architectural ruins where many scavenger species make their lair.

[Amonkhet Battlemap]Pyramid of the Pantheon 32x56

The five gods are the effective rulers of Amonkhet. They are not the creators of the plane, but they are its stewards while the people of Naktamun await the return of the God-Pharaoh. The five gods believe they were created by the God-Pharaoh, who charged them with teaching the people the ways of the God-Pharaoh, and with protecting them until he comes.

The five gods embody the five virtues the God-Pharaoh wishes to cultivate in those who will become his Eternals in the afterlife. Each god is responsible for modeling and teaching one of those virtues to the acolytes and initiates of Naktamun, and then testing those initiates to ensure that they have mastered their teachings. Thus, they are present during the acolytes’ first lessons, during the Ceremony of Measuring, during the initiates’ intense training, and at each of the trials that are part of an initiate’s journey.

The God Trials were a series of tasks performed on the plane of Amonkhet that each inhabitant of the world aspired to complete. Originally, the Trials predated Nicol Bolas's intrusion into the plane and were only held once in a solar cycle. Bolas took this tenet and perverted it to hold the population of Naktamun in a never-ending state of exercise. An initiate who underwent a trial was awarded a Cartouche upon its completion. The God-Pharaoh taught that this record of the initiate's achievements preserved the initiate's essence, safeguarding their life force for the journey to the afterlife. Only the best of the best attained the "worthy dead" and had the honor of being personally killed by Hazoret after completing the 5th trial. The corpses of the survivors were shipped through the Gates of the Afterlife at the end of the Hekma and were believed to stay in a hidden oasis. It was thought that upon his return, Bolas would grant an afterlife to the worthy dead. This "afterlife" was revealed to be the transformation into an Eternal. With the deaths of most of the gods and citizens of Naktamun, and the complete desolation and abandonment of the city, the trials could not continue.

[Ravnica Battlemap]Selesnya Sanctuary 32x56

The Eternal armies advanced through the green parks and concourses surrounding the Selesnya guildhall- the living temple of Vitu-Ghazi. At the urging of the Planeswalker Nissa Revane, Vitu Ghazi rose from its long slumber and advanced on the Eternals. In the teaching of the Selesnya guild, Vitu-Ghazi was the center of the world and the locus of Mat'Selesnya, the Worldsoul, so Nissa neither gave it animating force nor controlled it. Rather, she awakened it and urged it to take action in defense of its world. In response, Vitu-Ghazi's elemental rampage scattered the Eternals and pushed them back to the Tenth District Plaza.

Eternal's Arrival:

Under the peach and purple skies of a chill autumn morning, Nicol Bolas launched his invasion. Tezzeret opened the Planar Bridge over the Chamber of the Guildpact, reducing the symbol of Ravnica's endurance to rubble. The bridge connected Ravnica to Amonkhet with the horns of Bolas visible on Amonkhet's horizon and the second sun suspended between the horns.
