Circle

Mages in Druthal are members of magic organizations called Circles. These are a key part of how magic is regulated in the Kingdom. Membership in a Circle both constrains mages and protects them by giving them legal status, as well as social position. They are formally registered with the government, and covered by Circle Law. Mages must be in a circle to have protection and a legal place in society. Mages must receive their Letters of Mastery (university graduation) or equivalent to be allowed to be recruited into a circle.

Circles vary in size, influence, personality and magical power. There are over 100 circles in Maradaine, but most have few members. Their headquarters in each city are called "chapterhouses."

In 1212, a series of battles between five circles of mages now called the Circle Feuds happened throughout South Maradaine.
