The Selesnya Conclave

Like a thriving garden, carefully tended and abundantly fertile, the communities of the Selesnya Conclave are a harmonious union of nature and civilization. The members of the conclave dream of embracing all of Ravnica in their peaceful union. At the heart of the Selesnya faith and philosophy is the Worldsoul, called Mat'Selesnya, which its devotees believe to be a manifestation of nature itself. At the signing of the original Guildpact, Mat’Selesnya was embodied in an elemental form and acted as the guild’s first guildmaster. Her voice is now heard through the dryads known as the Chorus of the Conclave, whose leader, Trostani, interprets for the guild and acts as the guildmaster. The original mission of the conclave involved conservation and charity, but its focus has long been on expanding its community, in which all members are cared for and nature is preserved in harmony with civilization. Apart from this, the Selesnya Conclave primarily controls the food processing and growth of Ravnica, keeping the citizens and other guilds supplied with food and water.
