Magic: The Gathering/Ravnica Cycle: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

 

 

Each of the three novels is mostly self-contained:

 

* ''Guildpact'': Agrus Kos is retired and living a quiet life in the wild, untamed Utvara district, which has recently come under the management of Orzhov heiress and advokist [http://magiccards.info/gp/en/134.html Teysa Karlov], who intends to shake the place up. Meanwhile, the Izzet courier Crix gets lost and is captured by a clan of Gruul barbarians. When a mad scientist threatens to destroy the world, they'll all have to work together to stop him.

* ''Dissension'': After mysteriously disappearing in the first book, the angels have returned...and they're all dead. Meanwhile, another conspiracy rears its head, and Agrus Kos {{spoiler|is raised from the dead}} to investigate it. On top of all this, the city is being destroyed by [[Rent-A-Zilla|giant monsters]].

 

----

 

* [[Abandoned Warehouse]]: Agrus Kos and Myczil Zunich investigate one at the beginning of the first book.

* [[Alternative Calendar]]: The first chapter takes place on the 17th day of Griev in the year 9943 Z.C.

* [[Always Gets His Man]]: Kos.

* [[Becoming the Costume]]: Thanks to a faulty "performance enchantment", a troupe of actors wreaks a little accidental havoc in Chapter 2 of ''Ravnica'' when the guy playing a bloodthirsty Gruul chieftain gets a little ''too'' in-character.

* [[Bigger Bad]]:

* [[My God, What Have I Done?]]: Myczil Zunich's approximate reaction when he discovers that {{spoiler|he's just accidentally killed a little girl}}.

* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: ''Dissension'' takes a chapter, or thereabouts, to explain that the reason why the plane of Ravnica is so horribly screwed up is because {{spoiler|Agrus made it a point to arrest Szadek as a member of the Boros Legion}}. Minor problem with that, though: {{spoiler|the Guildpact was designed to maintain the existence of all ten Guilds. Without House Dimir, the Guildpact was actively screwing up.}}

* [[Order Versus Chaos]]: The major conflict that led to the founding of the Guildpact.

* [[Rent-A-Zilla]]: Nephilim, Kraj, and even Rakdos himself get a chance to trample the city in the third book.

* [[Second Hand Storytelling]]: In the first book, the founding of the Guildpact is told through an in-universe stage performance, complete with narration.

* [[Take Over the World]]
