Preparing for the "Van Kanegem" tournament.

The "Circle of the Sword" implies starting the game with a faction where swords are a key strength – for example, Haven or Barbarian. The "Circle of Magic" would correspond to factions like Academy or Dungeon. Something along those lines.

How will the faction selection be handled? Will there be several starting saves with different starting factions in each circle? – then the saves won't be identical. Or will the starting faction in each circle be the same for everyone – the one determined by the host?
