Viridian Circle

The Viridian Circle is a loose collective of people that focus on the needs of the natural world and resist the growth of civilisation. The Circle is primarily based in the Aurelian Empire and is particularly prevalent in Regio Minas and Regio Ost.

The members of the Circle worship the Mother, also known as Inanna, the great goddess and representative of the Earth itself. These members tend to roles as healers or wise men in more isolated communities, and are often viewed as druids, rangers, and witches. Local guides and scouts may often give praise to the Mother before embarking, to safeguard their route and offer guidance.

The Circle has a focus on peace and neutrality, working with people and nature. They do not advocate the active resistance of the spread of civilisation, but instead prefer softer approaches.

Many of the members of the Circle that espoused stronger views broke off to form the Enclave of the Oak, a more reactionary group, but with similar overall goals to the Circle.
