🌆 Overview
The Circle of Flame is Ironspire’s ruling body—a council of powerful voices drawn from each official Hall. Though not all are judges or lawyers, every member shapes the laws and policies that define the city’s future. It operates like a senate, but with the fire of empire: every word carries weight, every motion sets entire sectors in motion.
The Circle doesn’t enforce the law—it creates it. Their votes determine the legality of weapons, the legitimacy of magic, the worth of currency, and even the boundaries of death itself. Guilds may hold power, but the Circle defines the rules of the game.
💡 Identity & Philosophy
“The flame does not explain itself. It simply consumes.”
Members of the Circle wield both political clout and philosophical vision. Some advocate for unity and order. Others are chessmasters balancing profit, fear, and influence. To sit on the Circle is to shape destiny—or, as many fear, to script it for others.
Each representative speaks for their Hall, but allegiances shift. Deals are made. Secrets are kept. And only fire burns hotter than ambition.
