It's all city, since that's the theme of the setting, but everything outside the 10th District is really up to the DM to populate as needed - with more or less guidance from preexisting sources, as you prefer.įor example, you might have a huge area that's completely dominated by Izzet industrial works, where the workers' homes are tucked in and around the tangle of pipes, furnaces, and production lines. Outside the core, there are large areas that are heavily dominated by one Guild (or a few of them), while the ten districts are an area where all the Guilds have an approximately equal footing, which makes it a good area for adventures and campaigns that draw in characters from many Guilds, backgrounds, and career paths. Beyond the core, there are more districts, more city, more of the same but maybe less equally distributed. The 10th District is intended to be a representative sample of Ravnica as a whole. So to go back to your question, what that tells us is that the original City of Ravnica was approximately the size of Luxembourg, which is an absolutely enormous city by our standards, but still only a tiny part of the plane. But the quote above does say there are "uncounted" other districts, so that certainly leaves plenty of room for 'make stuff up' as well. This article has a small amount of information about some of the names mentioned above, among others, and has links to a few articles that go more in-depth about certain locales. You may be able to locate some information in published pieces on the MTG website, or on fan-compiled wikis. Well-known districts outside the core include the Smelting District, Irbitov (the mausoleum district) and Jezeru (the lake district).ĭetails on those other districts aren't in this book I suspect they're references to places from the Magic: The Gathering novels that are set in Ravnica or places represented on specific cards. Sometimes called the city proper, the core is divided into ten districts Beyond the core are an uncounted number of other districts, which originated as outlying cities that gradually melded into the expanding metropolis.
The story of Ravnica focuses on its core. Much of this is covered in the introductory "Welcome to Ravnica" section of the book, in particular on page 8: But the "Tenth District" as described in the GGtR is not 1/10th of the entire plane, it's just one of the ten districts of the old capital city. Other lesser cities had their own districts and so on, which expanded and sprawled until they all touched at the edges to form one vast city, which took on the name of the old capital. The Guildmaster's Guide to Ravnica says that, before the whole world got turned into an urban cityscape, there were originally 10 districts within the City of Ravnica. The whole world is a city, and there aren't just ten districts.
