The Dracogenius Firemind Niv-Mizzet

By me, no, other Guildmaster who’ve never trusted me, and neither would have I ever trusted anyone who’d want to become the new Guildpact. I planned to have perfectly designed and seemingly unbiased elemental artificial intelligence run the Transguild interaction, slowly easing the other Guilds into dropping their guards down and then letting Izzet League operate on more lax regulations.It was perfect! They would have never seen it coming!

Vedalken Blastseeker Yakow Eteroglan the Luminous, proposed that condensed and purified aether could be used as viable alternative fuel source to elemental-, spirit-, and muscle-powered solutions. His distillery imploded last Seleni, earning him highest body count in past 3 years, several fortunes worth of equipment and infrastructure damage, as well as several posthumous charges by other Guilds. 

I am afraid it wasn’t matter of what I didn’t do but what I could have done at that point. I learned about Azorius Senate’s decision to overrule original Guildpact only when I arrived to my safe house location after tactical retreat from a fight with Nephilim (during the whole incident that spawned Rubbenbelt). Several months later Karlov heiress tried to establish non-magical peace treaty which lasted exactly as long as such venture could have last. (That is as soon as it became more beneficial to stop pretending to be on board with this faux-Guildpact.)

Surprisingly less common than one would expect. It takes certain kind of mixture of common sense, survival tactics, and pure genius to have a child while meeting League’s minimum quotas, so hereditary Guildmages tend to be taught do’s and dont’s of safe fringe science practice before they can even learn how to walk. 

Guildmage status is hereditary. Common practice, really. Many Guildmages prefer that the protection offered to them by their Guild would be extended to their children, and turn here at Izzet League we expect that parents, like any irresponsible Magewrights, will pass all their trade secrets to their children (And it’s such great habit to have spares just in case, you know?).

…ello? Hello? Hello? 

Hello! 

((I appreciate it.))

I recommend you be more careful with your words now. Not so long ago my kind was treated as undisputed Gods of this plane. Your words would be considered blasphemous by some. 

They let themselves be rode on? That’s just embarrassing. And are dependent on other beings? Vulgar. 

((Probably same Multiverse, since Magic uses it’s as base premise?))

...are you trying to insult me or praise me?I am the only Dragon one could hope to see on Ravnica. Rest of my specie was exterminated, and what average Rarvnicans refer to as ‘Dragons’ these day are nothing but overgrown breed of quadrupedal Drakes. One of these days Simic Combine will breed bipedal apes and I will refer to them exclusively as humans! Then we’ll see who will have the last laugh on the matter!
