Sunhome
Sunhome, the Guildhall of the Boros on Ravnica, is a combined fortress, barracks, and place of worship. It is impregnable, serves as a symbol of military might, and is the base of operations for the League of Wojek.
Sunhome is guarded by the veterans of the Sunhome Guard.
As many guilds under the influence of white mana, the devotion of the members of this guild takes on a religious element. Where the Orzhov worship a facsimile of the sun obscured by an eclipse, the Boros hold up the unobstructed blazing sun as a central symbol of their faith, with the angels that descend from the sky as it's emissary.
Purpose / Function
Boros Roles
There are so many ranks and tiers in the Boros Legion that most other guilds can't keep track of them all. Some are summarized here.
Warleaders: Angelic Strategists. In the past, this tier of ancient angels comprised the meta-tacticians who created millennia-spanning strategies for the Boros. Despite the scope of their knowledge, they were divorced from the everyday planning of battle or logistics of the guild. Aurelia has changed their focus to more practical implementations of war.
Firemanes: Paragons of War. The firemane angels are holy champions who specialize in single combat. While a firemane can outfight almost any single opponent, she will rarely give or follow orders, preferring to fight alone.
Battleforce Angels. This rank of warrior angels actively participates in maneuvers and the formations of skyknights. Some command their own legions and work in conjunction with generals and commanders. Under Razia, this would have been an unthinkable mingling of ranks, but Aurelia believes this is a more effective way to achieve Boros ideals while still maintaining the rank system.
Guildmages. For the Boros, guildmage is a profession that merges religious devotion, arcane mastery, and military might. It is one of the highest ranks a non-angel can achieve in the Boros Legion. According to Boros tradition, guildmage is the only rank that may initiate contact with angels. However, Aurelia has recently relaxed this restriction, as she believes in effectiveness above historical precedent.
The Boros Army: Fighters for Ideals
The army wing makes up the bulk of the Boros guild. It has a reputation of being devoted, effective, and merciless in defense of its ideals. Boros army roles include:
Swiftblade. These are the first soldiers into combat. They're the elite marines of Boros specializing in assault and occupation.
Flamekin. Elemental soldiers made of fire who wear Boros armor. They fight with the rank and file but are also a focal point of valor for the soldiers—a sort of living banner to rally around.
Skyknight. Mounted Boros soldiers on rocs function as Ravnica's air force. They are well loved by most Ravnicans. Many have become near-celebrities, celebrated for their bravery and daring. They are counterparts to the Wojek League's Skyjeks.
The League of Wojek: Enforcers of Order.
This is the division of the Boros that enforces law and order.
Wojeks protect property and the safety of citizens, and they investigate crimes and establish cases against criminals handed over to the Azorius. The League of Wojek is tasked with eliminating civil disorder, and its members function as peacemakers in crowded Ravnica. They also are expected to keep the peace between the guilds. To preserve order by any means necessary is the driving force behind the League of Wojek.
Skyjek. Skyjeks are counterparts to the Skyknight legionnaires. They ride rocs to patrol and are a frequent sight in the skies above Ravnica. They do not do investigative work and instead focus on patrolling and keeping the peace.
