Message: <blockquote data-quote="QuietBrowser" data-source="post: 7470659" data-attributes="member: 6855057">Ravnica might not have "gods", in the mechanical sense. But, as Gyor so helpfully pointed out, there are plenty of native religions for Ravnican clerics and paladins.The Azorius Senate has made a theology out of bureaucracy, sanctifying the status quo and elevating the preservation of what IS to a holy act.The Boros Legion worships its angels and archangels as spiritual guides; their pursuit of justice is a theology that needs no named gods.The Selesnya Conclave has its Worldmind, the embodiment of their beliefs that by taming nature and subjugating individual, the entire world of Ravnica can be made a singular entity - a gestalt being of flesh, plant and elements.The Cult of Rakdos worships Rakdos the Demonlord - it's literally in the name.The Golgari Swarm are literally based around a theology derived from the circle of birth, death, decay and rebirth; their magic-users are even typed as druids and shamans in the card game.The Orzhov Syndicate has... some kind of theology based around worshipping ghosts, with the Ghost Council as its functional god? I don't know that much about the Black/White Guild.Niv-Mizzet the Firemind is basically the god of the Izzet League.So, yeah, there won't be "gods" as actual stated creatures, but I'm sure we'll get basic crunch religion writeups, much like how Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes gave us the Seldarine both light and dark, the Morndinsamman, Yondalla's Children and Garl's... I don't know what the official name of the gnomish pantheon is. They'll probably just amount to "what's is each faith's associated domains, symbol and area of concern", but even so, Ravnica has faiths enough to warrant some investigation of native religion.</blockquote>
