Governance and the Wheel Deal
Functioning as a central governing mechanism, the Wheel of Fate shapes local life by dictating everything from employment to the actions of the town's authorities. It often serves as the ultimate justification for certain outcomes, fostering a heavy sense of predestination among the residents. At the heart of this dynamic is the "wheel deal," an established custom where leadership figures must strictly follow the Wheel's decree. Even when faced with significant personal risk, such as losing their jobs or being removed from power, the bosses are expected to abide by the results, cementing the Wheel's status as the community's ultimate arbiter of fate.
