Welcome to the R.A.M.I

The Ravnican Agency of Magicological Investigations, also known as the R.A.M.I., is a force of detectives and investigators founded after the New Phyrexian invasion of Ravnica. It is founded and led by the Archon Ezrim.

Ezrim is a massive archon, stern, humorless, and uncompromising. He's a brilliant analytical mind, above reproach, and not bound by guild affiliation. He carries a massive lance and wears a long, elaborate cape.

Ezrim's mount resembles a mix between an ox and a lion with long talons, horns, and two pairs of feathered wings. He and his mount are separate beings, though they function as a single unit. His mount is never out of arm's reach, and may not be capable of being so.

The R.A.M.I.'s headquarters is a grand, hovering edifice that resembles a giant, floating, all-seeing eye. It occupies a prime location in Tenth District Plaza, which has historically been neutral territory for the guilds. Artificial waterfalls pour from the bottom of the structure and blanket the ground beneath in a perpetual mist to suggest the R.A.M.I.'s role in rising above the fog of mysteries and uncovering the truth. There's no way to reach it from the ground: visitors must either fly up themselves or make use of an Agency-provided griffin mount.

Inside, the HQ is built along expansive lines to accommodate both Ezrim and his mount. Upon entering, visitors find themselves in a large central atrium, which then branches off into a honeycomb of offices, laboratories, and archives. Ezrim's office is located on the top floor.

The archives are in the heart of the headquarters. Corridors leading to the archives are magically warded to be completely undetectable to anyone not wearing a R.A.M.I. badge. All samples, evidence, and other physical material from ongoing cases are stored in evidence lockers, which are the most fiercely guarded and heavily restricted rooms in the building. Necropsy chambers are where postmortem examinations are performed to discover causes of death or any other unusual circumstances on a body.
