with his superiors. Bellov is happy to help his saviors,
but once he learns of the meeting’s subject, he grows
serious and warns against letting Niv-Mizzet get his
claws on the Triskelion. In his own words, “Giving an
interdimensional bomb to the most curious mind in
Ravnica is a colossally bad idea.” If the party insists on
a meeting, Bellov advises that they plan the meeting
on neutral ground, for their own safety as well as the
safety of the artifact. If the party accepts his help,
he arranges a meeting with the Izmagnus at the
