Karma Guide General Info➤ Karma is a region run by different factions or guilds called "Circles".
➤ The region has a number of different Circles that have different values and focus on certain ideas and aspects.
➤ You can become encircled by contacting the Sage in charge of that Circle and passing their trial.
The Government➤ The Executive branch of the region comprises the Radial Council.
➤ The Radial Council is a group of 3 members from different Circles who are elected through a vote of the Encircled to serve a 3-month term.
