In the past the Bakers' Guild existed to protect bakers from driving the price of bread into the ground. Early in the Revolution, its purpose switched to equitable distribution of flour rations so each baker could make a living. Today, however, the Bakers' Guild is little more than a state-run sweatshop. The Revolutionary Council relocated all the capitol's bakers to the old Baker's Guildhouse, installing massive ovens to industrialize the process. Bakers and their families are forced to live in 'protected housing' near the Annex. Though bakers enjoy the best security in the city, it comes with onerous limitations on their security and agency.
