[edit] Nailah
Self-proclaimed Queen of Rabiah (Card: Sorceress Queen(5th)) Daughter of El-Hajjaj (comics). Nailah, a Rabian sorceress, plotted to use the power of the Taysirs against them, to aid her in her plans of conquering the planes. She convinced the black Taysir to kill the others, but, after merging with his other selves, he made himself the most powerful planeswalker until Urza. Taysir rebelled against Nailah, but, with her last breath, she banished Taysir from Rabiah forever.

[edit] Nephilim
Five towering beasts awakened during the Guildpact storyline, the Nephilim are extremely old spirits who watched over Ravnica from before the city even existed. Though their reason for awakening is unknown (it is possible they sensed the massive change in magical currents caused by the Guildpact's demise, or that Augustin or Szadek awoke them for their own purposes), the disfigured monsters stomped across Ravnica, growing in size as they went. After causing much destruction, each of the five were eventually destroyed.
[edit] Nethya
A soulless creature (Card: Remove Soul)
[edit] Nevinyrral
Lich, necromancer. Author of the Necromancer’s Handbook, creator of the dreaded Nevinyrral's Disk. While today Urborg is the name of a large tropical isle and its satellites, legend has it that Urborg was once only the name of a city upon the isle. This hellish demesne was controlled by Nevinyrral, who was at war with Bogardan. Little is known of the war, as it predates the Ice Age, but legend states that Nevinyrral was outmaneuvered and the city of Urborg was swallowed by a volcano that tore up from the ground directly beneath it. Nevinyrral’s last act was to use his famous disk to deny his enemies any of the magical trove that might survive the flames. (Referenced on Nevinyrral's Disk, Drudge Skeletons, Magus of the Disk)
[edit] Nicol Bolas
A legendary Elder Dragon. He lost his planeswalker-spark when a powerful world spell cast all other dragons to the land, creating the elder land wyrms. He is said to be the only Elder Dragon to have survived the years after the end of the Elder Dragon Wars. He settled on the Madaran empire, and after slaying its god-queen, styled himself the god-king of Madara. His cruel regime ended when his former champion, the warrior-mage Tetsuo Umezawa defied him and his chosen regent, Ramses Overdark. When Tetsuo escaped to a meditation plane, Nicol Bolas easily followed by projecting his astral self. There, a titanic battle followed, until Tetsuo's contingency plan struck; a massive meteor strike on Nicol Bolas's physical body and shrine shook the elder dragon. As the elder dragon prepared to retaliate, Tetsuo revealed himself to be more powerful than the elder dragon, and Nicol Bolas was slain by the human warrior-mage.
He remained present his land of Madara during the time rifts, existing under the name of Sensei Ryu. His home was overrun by cat-dragons and their followers. He was eventually returned to the plane by the desires of an artificer named Venser to return to his lab in Urborg. Upon his release, he defeated Venser's patron, the planeswalker Teferi, and shortly afterward vowed to destroy all those of the family Umezawa and the sprit that brought the Umezawa family to Madara.
[edit] Nireya
Someone who discovered a planar gate (Card: Planar Gate)
[edit] Nivea
Ixidor's wife and pit-fighting ally. She was killed by Phage, the Untouchable. When Ixidor discovered his ability to shape reality, he created Akroma in Nivea's image.
[edit] Niv-Mizzet
The Firemind. A 10,000+ year old dragon who is both founder and leader of the Izzet. He has an unmatched intellect, but also an unmatched temper. He is also incredibly vain, naming many of the Izzet's creations after him, including but not limited to: the guild itself, the guildhall, those guildmembers that aspire to be like dragons, and a strong, light type of metal the guild invented, which is called Mizzium. During the Ravnica block storyline, Niv-Mizzet is plotted against by one of his magelords, Zomaj Hauc, who attempted to hatch three dragon eggs. Hauc would have then lead these three new dragons in a coup against Niv-Mizzet. This sets off a chain of events which leads to the awakening of the Nephilim, anciently old deities. Realizing the danger to the city, Niv-Mizzet goes to deal with them personally (his first public appearance in over 2500 years) and slays two of them. After that, he mysteriously "gets bored" and flees when the battle begins to turn against him, his whereabouts unknown (some say he may infact be a planeswalker and left Ravnica entirely). He is also responsible for the death of almost all other dragons in Ravnica.(Ravnica)
