  For those curious: the Dimir occupy all spaces in the city, and their architecture feels like a blend of many of the elements I discussed in this video. Their role is to be fluid and move between all spaces, and so their guildgates feel like the hidden passageways between the structures. Every district belongs, in part, to those sneaky spies and assassins. For a more in-depth look at the Dimir, I highly recommend Groucho Marco&apos;s video on the aesthetics of film noir found here. you&apos;ll enjoy it! <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ai7wQNk7dO4">https://youtu.be/Ai7wQNk7dO4</a>

  Yes. All 9 guilds are represented. Azorius, Boros, Orzhov, Rakdos, Simic, Golgari, Selesnya, Izzet, and Gruul. No one is missing

  In a place where there is no room, in a structure that was never built, meets the guild that wasn’t mentioned in the video.<br><br>I feel it’s purposeful though. Dimir architecture is probably best described as the architecture of Ravnica as a whole, right there in front of your face, but blending seamlessly into the background. That and I can’t think of many examples outside of Duskmantle or Aqueduct...

  The single best marketing for Magic is Rhystic Studies. I don&apos;t even play Magic, but these videos keep me coming back!

  as a Dimir, I&apos;m happy our guild wasn&apos;t mention at all. It adds to the mystery that is Dimir.

  This really makes describing the city to players in a Ravnica based D&amp;D campaign so much easier. &nbsp;Awesome.

  I can never find the quote again, but my favourite flavour about the Gruul was something like &quot;The stories say that it was the when the last orchard was paved, the last mountain mined, that the spark of rage began.&quot; The gruul are not just the rage of some mindless Luddite, preaching for a return to the pastoral. They are the rage of a land and a people so profoundly disrespected and degraded, until there is nothing left but hate.
