Jace Beleren

Jace Beleren, the (un)lucky guildless son of a tailor who was selected by the Zalrav Council to bear the boon of the Implicit Maze and become the Living Guildpact whose words became law and thereby, becoming the impromptu lord of Ravnica.

Jace's first law imposed on the world were the same laws of the original Guildpact, prohibiting large scale violence among the guilds. He quickly learned that his powers as the Living Guildpact were limited to regulating and balancing the power the guilds held over the city. Therefore, while he held absolute dominion over the guilds, petty crimes of the individual were not under his purview, nor were the millions of guildless in the city.

Despite his best efforts to remain impartial and devote himself purely to maintaining the balance between the stark diversity among guilds, Jace was typically seen as a biased lord towards the "civilized" guilds such as the Azorius Senate and Selesnya Conclave by the more hedonistic and chaotic guilds who found their roles in the Zalrav Council being reduced due to there being no necessity thanks to the new Living Guildpact.

The Guildpact remained but the machinations of the guilds continued until somewhere deep in the heart of the city, a plot was hatched to return the city to the era of the Guilds and not of the Guildpact.
