The Izzet are obsessive experimenters, combining an eager innovative mind with a quick interest span. The authentic mandate of the Izzet guild was once to grant options for public works tasks (sewers, boilers, and roadways), however, an increasing number of far-fetched experiments fulfill solely their insatiable curiosity. Sometimes their experiments yield beneficial technological advancements; in different instances, they produce unintended mana geysers, spatial rifts, arcane portals, or massive explosions all of which can be beneficial in their personal way.

Izzet Engineer 5e
The league’s most grandiose experiments are commonly subject to public works tasks and elemental experimentation. These efforts use a methodology that depends on surprising outcomes: all consequences are informative, even if they absolutely defy expectations. For example, a scan that starts off evolved as the advent of a hyper mania focusing lens” would possibly be renamed a scram-range teleportal as soon as the researchers find out greater houses of what they have fashioned.
Then, after a few goblin volunteers vanish inside it, the equipment features the designation of “universal refuse disintegrator” — till the goblin volunteers are found alive, having been teleported some distance from the workshop. This type of adjustment is par for the direction in Izzet experiments; the “fiddle and locate out” technique is preferred over any technique of systematic scientific research.
Overseeing the each-day operations of the guild is the purview of the Izmundi, a board of administrators that assembles groups from amongst the rank and file of the Izzet League to lift out a lookup in accordance to Niv-Mizzet’s directions. The Izmagnus is a smaller board with 5 to seven participants (some members’ identities continue to be secret) who serve as Niv-Mizzet’s closest advisors.
The Izzet League is equipped with gadgets detailed as laboratories that specialize in certain fields of research. Though they all function beneath the widespread preparation of the Izmundi, every laboratory is generally left by myself to conduct its research.
- Skill Proficiencies: Arcana, Investigation
- Tool Proficiencies: One type of artisan’s tools
- Languages: Choose one of Draconic, Goblin, or Vedalken
The Izzet League thirsts for knowledge cherishes intellect and speculates about the secrets and techniques of the multiverse. It brings to its scientific hobbies a flaming passion that turns its search for information into an insatiable hunger, makes its bloodless mind brilliantly fruitful, and widens its hypothesis into a search for connections between wildly disparate objects or concepts.
As Ravnica descends into growing turmoil, the Izzet have similarly intensified their frenetic research, even though now their efforts are by and large directed towards one outcome: the improvement of super-weapons. The suspicion that festers in the idea of the Izzet guild master, the historic dragon Niv-Mizzet, urges him to push his guild’s lookup towards increasingly more unsafe and unstable experimentation.

It is manic in its expressions of innovative energy, moving from cautious evaluation to intuitive bounce reputedly for no reason, constantly questioning backyard the proverbial box. For the relaxation of the guild members, the search for larger and higher weapons is basically a probability to interact in all varieties of wild lookup whilst forsaking all outward pretense of security or reason. Much of the guild’s laboratory area has been transformed into checking-out grounds that are successful in withstanding high-quality discharges of magical energy.
