“ | I am Mat'Selesnya! I am Ravnica! | „ |
~ Oba |
Oba is one of the three heads of Trostani, the guildleader of the Selesnya Conclave. Already guilty of crimes like brainwashing the masses to keep them docile, Oba became a more promenient antagonist after the phyrexian invasion, murdering several individuals she believed cooperated with Phyrexia.
Overall[]
Selesnya is a conclave that worships nature. Though often seen as "good", in truth they have a sinister side, like brainwashing the masses of Ravnica into being more docile or getting their own troops used as meatshields. Still, they did foster a lack of individuality. This was to change after the Phyrexian invasion, which as with all planes took an immense toll on Ravnica.
Murders at Karlov Mannor[]
Oba had enough and silently operated individually, her own sisters unaware of her crimes. She murdered Zegana over her experiments with the oil (in truth she was trying to heal phyrexianized creatures), murder Teysa over her alliance with the phyrexians (in truth a ruse, since she was feeding information to the resistance), murdered Kylox due to his tampering with phyrexian technology (in truth industrial espionage) and attempted to murder Kaya and Kellan due to them investigating her murders.
When confronted by the truth, Oba connected herself to the worldsoul of Ravnica, imprisoning the guildleaders and other authorities within vines. Kaya and the ghost of Teysa however managed to subdue her using spectral magic. Immobilised, she was taken by her sisters in withrawal to purify themselves, but Teysa's ghost sued the Selesnya over allowing Oba to live.
