City to the Stars (Ravnica/Theros)
This is a set that burst into my head one day, it's focus point is an amalgamation of two very expansive sets, Theros and Ravnica, although there is no story, the current lore is that, for reasons unknown, the planes of Theros and Ravnica have collided and are slowly meshing into one, more and more buildings are falling to gateways to Theros, and portals are opening to Ravnica. Immigration and trade between the two planes has caused Nyx to expand into Ravnica, religions and ideals being traded and changed. The gods themselves are shifting to the new ideals and practices. Currently there is a combination of three color, and two color creatures, and gods are honored in "trifectas" or sets of three. Here is current lore
-Rakdos has ascended to god hood, and has joined Mogis and Xenagos in the Trifecta of Torture, (RBG)
-Althoguh Niv-Mizzet has renounced and forbade his guild of Godworship, some members have formed their own branch honoring Kruphix, Keranos, and Purphuros, in the Trifecta of Thought. (RUG)
-Orzhov honors Athreos and Phenax, while Dimir honor Phenax and Pharika. Together, the three of the, form The Trifecta of Death (Crappy name, but is subject to change.) (WBG)
-The Azorius have a hard time keeping up with new religions popping up, but are in the process of legalizing it. While they do not themselves worship any gods, as their worship would muddle up the legal system, immigrants from Theros have brought Ephara with them, and have begun to open up law firms and lawyerships in her name.
-The Gruul, wild in nature, have taken Nylea to be worship, as she embodies the very aspects of nature they adore, with the influx of red mana that has come from Gruul worship, she has ascended to become God of Ferocity (GR) and with her new found anger, she sends her beasts to aid the Gruul in the utter destruction of City Life of Ravnica.

Here some of the examples of some of the Nyleans, a new clan of all female warriors who inhabit the rubble let. They are swift, deadly, and what surprises even Borborgymos, are rather sturdy and hard to take down. They often work in squads or alone, specializing in hit and run, and stealthier strategies. They are the clan that arose as the result of Nylea's worship on Ravnica.
