The Cult of Yore is a secret guildless group on Ravnica who keep old tomes recalling the days before the Guildpact.
Description
The Cult converses with those old enough to remember the time before the guild system and retain the celebrations and rituals practiced before its founding. The Cult believes that there is a lack of humility in the world of Ravnica, that the common folk have had it beaten and bred out of them, and that it is the direct result of the Guildpact.[1] They argue for a return to the less developed, more natural state of Ravnica.
Beliefs
The Guildpact, according to the brothers and sisters of Yore, created false gods; among them the Ghost Council, the Firemind, the angels of Boros, the Chorus, and the Demonlord. However, the Cult of Yore also believes that change is forthcoming and the old gods are returning. These old gods are the embodiment of the world's vastness, diversity, unpredictability, wonder, and complexity. They are the Nephilim.
Those who fall into the service of the Nephilim, by delving too deeply into forbidden secrets or unearthing lore regarding the old gods of Ravnica, may be granted the mysterious and maddening powers of a being known as the Great Old One.[2]
Notable members
The only member known by name is the druid Bougrat.[1]
