The Paruns at the signing of the Guildpact.

The paruns were the founders of the ten Ravnican guilds and signatories of the original Guildpact.[1] As most were exceptionally long-lived beings, a majority remained active in some form after ten millennia, though not all continued as guildmaster of their respective guild.[2]

Notes

  1. The entire Ghost Council of Orzhova, a.k.a. the Obzedat, signed the contract, but it is unknown which specific members signed, nor if any of them survived until Kaya's assassination of the Council.
  2. No official Parun was given for the Simic, but Cory Herndon, the author of the Ravnica Cycle planned it to be a vedalken biomancer named Simic. He also says that due to the way the Simic work, parts of the Parun may still be alive at the time of the books.
  3. This is corroborated by Brady Dommermuth, who established that Simic was his surname, but not his familiar name.
