The cleric who oversees the entire site is Troslon, a rugged loxodon who is a bit of a rebel by Selesnyan standards in that he puts the natural world before the desires of the guild. This is illustrated in his defense of the sacred tree of Belokos (see below).
Did I miss some part of the article here or is it just not there?

Looking forward to this set, even if it's recycling old ideas because of how awesome ravnica was.
My patience with the magic lore is growing thin though. We have gotten all these awesome new planes and planeswalkers in recent years, yet we barely know anything about them. Haven't seen a novel in ages either... Has wizards given up on these, or are there just no decent writers willing to pick the stories up?
Wizards has given up, they didn't sell.

you are probably right, but did they ever say this in any official article or so?

Awesome. Can't wait to read up on all these...
I actually really liked that little bit at the end about how they view the other clans, that could be some very interesting psych profiling going on there.
Apart from the Gruul one. They have simple rules. If they can't eat it they shag it, and if they can't shag it they piss on it.
I want to be Cultured.

I'm not sure, MaRo has said it multiple times on his tumblr (markrosewater.tumblr.com) but it's hard to find old questions there.

It is very hard to understand what has happened since the last Ravnica block. The thing I was most looking forward to was "what has happened since the last time we were here?". They gave us 2000 words, but just these three sentences on the history:
The Guildpact has been dispelled, and for a time the guilds fell into chaos. But the ten-thousand-year-old guild culture and division of duties has reasserted itself, and the ten guilds are once again dominant. However, tensions between them are building and rumors of trouble can be heard in both the hallowed guildhalls and rustic taverns of the unguilded citizens.
This leaves me unsatisfied. Describe the chaos! How was order reestablished?
I am hopeful that future articles will give us more history, rather than commentary on what now exists.
The same for me!
This is NOT "Return to Ravnica". This is "RAVNICA THROUGH REVISIONS".
They're going to recreate Ravnica according to their new interests (aka Neowalkers) in order to present this old-well-written history to the newbies:
"Oh-ooh-Duh! I am so excited with RTR. Now I know why it was so famous...and I also love Jace! Doo-Duh! Thank you mother Wizards duh-duh!"
- Random lamer nowadays player!

"They don't make 'em like they used to."
- Everyone, eventually complaining about the next generation just as the previous complained about theirs

I love how evil the Selesnya are. No wonder they got hanged in the novels.

Not feeling the new direction for Selesnya. I thought they were spot on the first time. Besides, wouldn't "individual ambitions" cause a separation from your source of power if you're Selesnyan? And 100% lifting the "keepers of beauty" thing from the elves of Shadowmoor is lame. Also, what is up with Dimir existing so openly? What happened to "9 guilds... and hushed whispers of a 10th". It's like you guys don't remember Ravnica, when the secret guild is displayed so openly.
