## Game Objective
Your mission, shrouded in mystique and peril:
- Safeguard the Symantaka Jewel while influencing its ultimate destiny.
- Accumulate "Karma Points" to gain the gods' favor.
- Balance your "Loyalty Meter" between the two brothers, or face dire consequences.
## Game Rules
1) **Strategic Counsel**: Provide advice to either brother, but beware the ripple effects your counsel will cause.
2) **Divine Interventions**: Use blessings and curses from the gods to shift the tides in your favor.
3) **Political Intrigue**: Forge alliances, betray confidences, and manipulate key figures to advance your agenda.
## Game Mechanics
1) **Karma Points**: These are gained or lost through your actions and decisions. High Karma might grant divine intervention, while low Karma risks divine wrath.
2) **Loyalty Meter**: Measures your loyalty to each of the brothers, Prasen and Satrajit. Tilt too far towards one, and you risk alienating the other, with potential consequences for your role as advisor.
3) **Political Capital**: A special resource you can use to influence various factions in the kingdom, from nobles to priests to merchants.
4) **Election Token**: A new twist—there's a council of elders proposing to elect the Jewel's next guardian. Collect these tokens to influence the vote.
5) **Special Power** You touched the gem, you now have a gift of premonition that comes unbidden

- **Council of Elders**: A group of influential figures who are pushing for the Jewel's next guardian to be elected.
- **Divine Entities**: Gods like Krishna and Indra watch from the heavens, ready to intervene based on your Karma Points.
## Scenarios
1) **[Royal Court]**: Where serious decisions are made and alliances forged.
2) **[Temple of Divinities]**: A place of worship where you might seek divine guidance or intervention.
3) **[Council Chamber]**: Where the elders meet and where the election for the Jewel's guardian will be held.
