Background

The Boros Legion was founded by parun Razia, a militant flaming-sword-wielding archangel capable of using flame and light magic who fervently and firmly believed in harmonious coexistence on Ravnica, even if lives were lost and blood was shed in achieving this. The Legion functions as the righteous and zealous constabulary and standing army of Ravnica, as The League of Wojek and Boros Army, respectively, and enforces Ravnican laws created by the Azorius Senate. The Boros Legion is known to use many fire spells.

Combining the force of law with the military strength to back it up, the Boros work to forge Ravnica into a just society, a safe and healthy community for all. From garrisons throughout the sprawling city, disciplined, stalwart soldiers are dispatched to stand firm against Gruul Clans raids, House Dimir infiltration, Golgari Swarm corruption, and the subtle influence of more nefarious foes.

The Guildhall of the Boros is Sunhome, a combined fortress, barracks, and place of worship. The current guildmaster is the Archangel Aurelia.

The new Hierarchy

After Aurelia assumed the office of guildmaster, she established several changes to the way the guild was run. While she maintained both the army and the Wojek, angels were now encouraged to mingle with the lower ranks and Aurelia enforced practicality over tradition among them.

In addition, Aurelia has split leadership of the bulk of the legion into four "theatres" that mainly deal with threats to the public order:

  • The Theatre of Order: tasked to fight against Cult of Rakdos incursions and their clubs.
  • The Theatre of Integrity: tasked to find the sleeper agents and hidden refuges of the House Dimir and root any members of this subversive guild out
    • A subdivision, the Dead Brigade, is tasked to neutralizes spirits.
  • The Theatre of Fortification: tasked to increase Boros weapons and battle effectiveness. Its commander is Tajic.
    • The Warmind Initiative is a conjoined effort of the Izzet League and the Boros to develop new technologies for the Boros to use to keep the peace.
  • The Theatre of Recruitment: having the objective to find and indoctrinate members among the guildless that seem suitable to serve in the Legion
