Alias:
Type: Cult, Guilds of Ravnica
Setting: Ravnica
Affiliations: Rakdos
[1] The Rakdos believe that unrestrained, moment-to-moment hedonism is the only sane way to live. Of course, few other Ravnicans would describe the Rakdos as sane.
The Cult of Rakdos bears the name of the demon lord who founded it. As laid out in the Guildpact, the guild was intended to fill roles concerning entertainment, mining, and manual labor. …The cult remains part of Ravnica's social fabric… The Guildpact prohibits the cult's extermination, and its entertainments - even as dark and destructive as they are - hold broad appeal. From rowdy mobs who love to see the Rakdos skewer the powerful elites to decadent socialites who come to the Rakdos for illicit amusements, most of Ravnica's people don't really want the Rakdos to go away, as much as they might publicly protest otherwise.
Stages for Rakdos performances appear on streets and plazas throughout Ravnica every night, and they're gone by morning… Permanent establishments that cater to dark desires are tucked away in the seediest neighborhoods of the city, such as the Smelting Quarter in Precinct Six of the Tenth District.
