Mat'Selesnya is the parun of the Selesnya Conclave and the worldsoul of Ravnica.[1][2]
As the guild's parun, Mat'Selesnya participated in the Signing of the Guildpact. An elemental formed from the union of several dryads, Mat'selesnya was encased within Vitu-Ghazi for several thousand years, until Szadek tried to destroy her during the decamillennial. She is described as a being with bark-like skin, with large crystals inserted into her arms and legs and encasing her dryad-like head. She currently still lives deep inside Vitu-Ghazi, and speaks through Trostani.[3] Encompassing all things on the plane both alive and dead, she can even manifest the ghosts of severed branches of Vitu-Ghazi.[2]
