Circle of the Concrete Jungle

Unlike other circles, the Circle of the Concrete Jungle is rarely chosen. It is a path of necessity, forged by those who have learned the rules of darkest of the civilization and adapted them into tools for survival. These druids understand the predatory nature of civlizide life, where every move must balance the needs of the individual with the demands of the collective and learnt to exploit it. They see the city as an ecosystem of its own, one where expansion and consumption mirror the primal forces of nature.
To the naked eye, their methods may seem harsh or even ruthless, but these druids know that the struggle for survival in the "man eats man" world is no different from the endless competition found in the wild. The Circle of the Concrete Jungle is natures way of reflecting civilizations most primal truths.

Welcome to the jungle.
