Description
Svogthos is the de jure Guildhall of the Golgari Swarm in the Undercity of Ravnica. It is a massive former cathedral with a huge amphitheater and towering columns, so ancient that even the Erstwhile no longer recall its origins. It currently stands at the center of Korozda, the Maze of Decay, an immense circular maze of fungal hedgerows and overgrown, moss-encrusted ruins, which is the de facto Guildhall and preferred court of Jarad vod Savo.
The arched subterranean structure of Svogthos is elaborately decorated and gilded, a sign that it used to be a cathedral of the Orzhov Syndicate. Denizens of Above would whisper of how the cathedral was beautiful, once. Its curved arches and stony towers glistened with obsidian and silver in days gone by. But the wear of centuries left it cold and damp, heavy with the smell of staleness and soil. Svogthos is a semi-living structure in which the detached, severed head of Svogthir is housed and is claimed to move as the center of Golgari Swarm territory shifts.
