The Old House

Like most Rakdos clubs you hear it before you see it. Always have those drums and chimes going. Getting inside is easy enough, its leaving that's hard. I've seen things in there... well, you just need to experience it yourself. Don't wear anything you don't mind getting messy, because sometimes things splatter. I know the Azorius like to say that things get out of hand, but both times I've been to The Old House no one got hurt who didn't want to get hurt. Hell, you pay extra to get hurt... I haven't. I'm not into that, but I know some folks that are.

Purpose / Function

Located in the Smelting Quarter of precinct six in District ten.
Home of the popular Rakdos theater troop, the Macabre Mockery . They perform every night on the main stage, usually with three different plays on various nights. They also handle the more extreme entertainment on the back stage.
The building is meant to be a source of entertainment and indulgence. They serve all kinds of refreshment, and encourage audience participation in all their performances.
2 drink minimum to enjoy the side show performances at ground level. The performers work in cages suspended above the guests and the dance floor below. The percussive music and almost constant laughter from the demonic Cacklers echoes all around.
A cover charge of is required to view the play for the evening on the main stage. An extra fee will get back to the Back Stage where you can see the more scandalous performances and get up close and personal with performers in a private booth.

History

Originally a factory in the smelting district, the entire inside of the building has been completely repurposed. The only evidence of the industrial nature of the building inside are the easy to clean floors and overriding smokey smell within.
It is said that the a company called The Bold House build the factory creating magical metallic goods for home furnishing and everyday use. Rumors claim that the owner fell into debt with the Rakdos (monetarily or eternal soul depending on the teller of the tale). He traded the building to them, but vanished a few weeks later. 
Some say the theater was called The Blood House originally, but after several Azorius and Boros raids, the name was shifted to the more banal, The Old House. But locals whisper that even that name has a sinister connotation, referring to a diabolical entity that has made a home in that spot for centuries.

Tourism

The Old House is very popular with those looking for this particular type of entertainment. Visitors to the Tenth District will hear about it rather quickly upon arriving.
