The Simic Combine’s watery habitat is made up of huge sinkholes filled with overflow from a subterranean ocean. Zonot Seven is the only zonot within Ravnica City proper, and it contains Zameck, the Simic guildhall. In contrast to the rest of the precinct, the zonot is a bustling place, with activity at all hours. A huge chamber just below the street surface serves as a gathering place for all the Simic speakers and where visitors can meet with Prime Speaker Zegana or other Simic emissaries. A Simic researcher might invite a land-dwelling colleague to visit the habitat, but such an occurrence isn’t common. Canals lead from here farther into the precinct and to Precinct Six.

Other Zonot:

There are a total of nine zonots scattered across Ravnica. In general, zonots are almost like inverted skyscrapers, covering depths that make even the Undercity look shallow, plunging through layers of built-up stone and architecture. Yet each zonot is also unique, with its own ecosystem, function, culture and racial distribution. Each zonot is overseen by a member of the Speakers Chamber, a group that very little is known about.

Zonot Details

  • Zonot One was the initial sinkhole that brought the surface-folk and the merfolk together. It is located in a remote, former reclamation zone far from Ravnica’s Tenth District, and is the home of Speaker Zegana, though she spends most of her time at the guildhall in Zonot Seven. Zonot One is also the smallest and most roughshod of the zonots and is described as “somber” by those who have visited it.
  • Zonot Two: Unknown
  • Zonot Three is a strangely obscure and quiet place. It houses the enigmatic Navika Research Laboratory, a place that is generally regarded with some unease by other members of the Combine due to the highly experimental and sometimes controversial nature of the projects conducted there.
  • Zonot Four is the largest of the zonots and is also considered one of the wildest. More brutal and direct, it also houses a number of the Simics larger denizens.
  • Zonot Five is considered the most welcoming of the zonots, and is actually a tourist destination for many Ravnicans. Here resides the Helical Stair, an enormous column of marine plant matter coaxed by magic to grow steadily up the walls of the zonot in a gentle spiral. Stairs have been carved in the spiral (and de-slimed), forming a long path by which surface dwellers can walk down to sea level. This is a Simic outreach to the people of Ravnica—a place where its denizens can see, touch, step into, and even swim through the cold oceans they forgot millennia ago; in addition, several Simic laboratories and a museum of the guild’s history are open to the public.
  • Zonot Six: Unknown
  • Zonot Seven is the busiest and most populated of the zonots, and is located in the boundaries of the Tenth District. It also plays home to Zameck, the Simic guildhall, and is thus considered the center of Simic affairs on the plane.
  • Zonot Eight: Unknown
  • Zonot Nine: Unknown
