The Golgari believe you can’t truly live until you die. For them, death gives life meaning, and from death comes new life. With its vast horde of undead serving as both standing army and labor force, the Golgari operate in Ravnica’s undercity, slowly taking over abandoned and derelict areas like a fetid slime mold. This guild contains many factions, from undead abominations of plant matter and flesh, to Ravnica’s dark elves, known as the Devkarin. Leadership of the guild is never uncontested.

The Sisters of Stone Death, a trio of gorgons, have been the guild’s oracles and rulers for over a century, but the dark-elf shaman Savra has set her sights on the Golgari throne. And Savra tends to get what she wants.

Also known as: The Swarm

Guild Leader: Contested. The Sisters of Stone Death, a trio of gorgons who claim oracular powers, currently lead the guild. But the dark-elf shaman Savra has grown powerful enough to challenge them. Also, rumors abound that the legendary necromancer Svogthir, founder of the guild, was never destroyed.

Guildhall: Svogthos, the Restless Tomb. Once an ornate and gilded Orzhov cathedral, the Tomb is now a quasi-living structure. Some claim it moves as the center of Golgari territory shifts.

Values: Power through growth. The Golgari grow by folding the dead into the ranks, as well as through occasional minor incursions into new territory.

Structure: A predatory organism with many predators within it. Subgroups of the guild (dark elves, undead-plant hybrids, and others) struggle for control.
