Prahv is the guild hall for the Azorius Senate on Ravnica. There are two locations with that name.
Old Prahv
The first Prahv was a large castle-like structure of white marble. It was destroyed in the climax of Dissension by the explosion of the crashed Boros angels' fortress-ship, the Parhelion.[1] The site of Prahv's ruins has been given over to nature and has become a wilderness preserve.[2]
Years of paralyzed bureaucracy passed while the Azorius discussed where, when, and how they should rebuild their guildhall. Only when Isperia accepted leadership of the guild did the process of rebuilding begin.
New Prahv
New Prahv, at the other end of the same district, consists of three towering, three-sided columns that form a circular courtyard. The towers of New Prahv are the tallest structures on the ground in all of Ravnica. The three towers literalize the guild's structure: each houses the operations of one of the three Columns (Sova, Jelenn, and Lyev).[1] The three titanic towers are flanked by the domes and spires of lesser buildings. The borders of the enormous compound are marked by tall, spiked fences.[3]
The towers of New Prahv also serve as an aesthetic representation of the guild's belief. It is an austere, immaculate structure, elegant but unadorned. White marble, alabaster, and steel predominate. Broad, curving hallways lead to large chambers, each of which has an array of subchambers and offices around it. Because the halls and chambers don't have many distinguishing features, visitors to New Prahv inevitably become lost without an escort.[1]
The guildmaster's office is located in the highest spire of the complex.[4]
New Prahv was the location of the guild summit, that ended with the murder of the Azorius guildmaster Isperia.[5] During the War of the Spark, New Prahv housed the Immortal Sun,[6] while the Interplanar Beacon was built within a nearby tower that had served as an Azorius outpost and skyship dock.[7]
The guild hall was severely damaged during New Phyrexia's Invasion of the Multiverse after Vraska directed Realmbreaker to attack the Azorius Senate and the jail in which she had once been imprisoned. The status of the Immortal Sun is unknown.[8]
