Unity - a Jagan Story By Eldenblade
Disclaimer- I do not own Magic the Gathering, Ravnica City of Guilds, Ravnica Guildpact, Ravnica Dissension or any of the Guilds. Too bad.
I, however, do own Jagan. If you want to use any characters that I've previously used and I own, please contact me beforehand.
(A/N: The following chapter might prove a little boring, but it is necessary for the Magicians that didn't really follow Ravnica)
Chapter 3 Corruption
Where were you when I was lonesome?
Locked away with freezing cold
Someone flying only stolen
I can't tell this light so old
When It's Cold I'd like to die by Moby
Looking over the battlefield, Jagan noticed that his comrads, his fellow mercenaries, were clearly losing the battle. He smiled as he saw a lone courageous 'Raider charge into four Wojek agents, who were trying to calm the raging Selesnyans. The 'Raider was surprisingly young and agile, sprinting across the battlefield to come nearer to the agents. Readying his Razorbow as he approached, the boy clearly focused on the back of the patrol.
The boy somewhat reminded him of himself, when he was a young Selesnya fanatic.
When the Guildpact was signed, the Boros was appointed guard duty. But little did they know how corrupted they would become. The Archangel Razia, General of the Boros, betrayed her kin when Jagan was young, and joined the secret Guild, the Dimir, that tried to destroy the Guildpact, abuse the loose-running magic of all ten Guilds and reach surpreme power to its leader Szadek.
The Guildpact was signed Millennia ago, to ensure the peace on Ravnica. Ravnica was one huge agglomeration of city-states merged together. The only way of maintaining public order was creation some kind of Trias Politica, to make sure no one got too powerful. The power was spread across ten Guild.
Selesnya, preservers of nature, seeking strength in numbers, created the Pact.
Golgari, embracers of death and the natural cycle, provided the entire planet with food.
Boros, keepers of peace and law, maintained order and public safety.
Izzet, inventers of many, directed the water systems and guaranteed Mizlectricity.
Azorius, conservationist protectionists, were judges and juries in Ravnica's law system.
Rakdos, minions of evil, were labor force necessary for maintenance.
Orzhov, guild of deals, provided both religion and trading opportunity.
Gruul, supporters of chaos and fury, were hatchetmen and sellswords.
Dimir, guild of secrets, pulled strings from within the shadows.
Simic, enhancers of nature, strengthened and protected all.
Szadek lost much of his power after he tried to destroy the Guildpact, the Selesnya and the Golgari at the same time. All would have gone right, had not one Wojek agent interfered and spoiled the plan that the virtually immortal Szadek had worked on for several Millennia. The interference caused Szadeks Mindleech to turn on its owner, gravely wounding the Parun of the Dimir. Szadek however was forced to continue the plan, even in his wounded state, and was killed by the Wojek not much later, leaving the Dimir without a leader.
Razia then took her chance and abandoned her Guild, and corrupted herself with an astounding amount of blue and black mana to become the leader of the Dimir. After a full-scale war, both the Dimir and the Boros nearly wiped each other out. The Dimir however made a vital mistake, buying a Mizlear Warhead and launching it unto Sunhome, killing every single Angel on the planet. Through her mana connection with the Angels, all might in Razia disappeared, and she became human. Since the vast amount of blue and black mana still pumped through her veins, she died an extremely horrible death, leaving the Dimir without a leader again, this time for the last time. As far as known, every Dimir agent was arrested and executed.
Nowadays the Boros and the Wojek still patrol the streets, but because of lack of leadership are not very intimidating. Jagan preferred to ignore the Wojeks. As a necromancer and a warrior, Jagan attracted quite a lot of attention to the protectors of the Law. His elephant skin didn't work in favor of himself either. As a matter of fact, it never did. Wojeks are supposed to protect citizens no matter what they look like, but most of the time they just don't care what happens to him. Why would anyone care about the Elephant Elf? Anyway, Jagan thought he was lucky he had only inherited his father's skin. After all, he would have killed himself if he had had a trunk...
(A/N: I hope you all survived this. Chapter 4 will be better, and wait until you see Chapter 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and so on. I've already written some more, so if you like to see more of it, there's a little blue button that says 'review'. Make me happy?)
