origin story of Burning Wheel?

[eruditus]

okay, I'll bite... why Burning Wheel. Maybe its a booby question and maybe it was discussed already but there it is...

What's it all mean?!

I believe its a Satanic plot to hypnotize players into joining Luke's infernal cult.

First off, the wheel, or spiral, is the oldest symbol signifying the "other side." The spiral, wheel, or spoked-star marked the oldest grave sites of men. So it is up there with the Biakal Venus in ancient symbology.

The Wheel of Fire is one of four god wheels--one for each element. The Wheel of Fire has five spokes, symbolizing the inherent imbalance of life and the uncertainty of nature. The Wheel abhors perfection, but seeks balance. The Wheel burns because it is the source of fire in the hearts of all men.

The Wheel of Fire, the Wheel of Five, the Burning Wheel. It is no mere concept in the minds of philosophers. It is a living, burning entity, built of wood and bound in steel. Long ago was set alight with an ember from the heart of the Sun--Huitzilopochtli, Apollo, Rah, Keun Bul. Whatever you call him: The God of Fire. And now the Wheel burns unextinguishable, the center of the religion of Keun Bul. It is the fire in the brow of every man, it is passion, breath and life.

And soon, it's secrets shall be revealed.
Be patient.
