INMORTALIS

Yes, you may refuse the offer of becoming a vessel. However, once you've agreed to the terms of the Priest or Priestess and have drawn blood in ritual, you will face terrible punishments if you choose to revoke your agreement in the middle of the tasks or challenges set by said Priest. Backing out after the blood oath was performed means your eventual death.

Be careful about declaring wars or fighting with characters. It is very easy for you to lose your character if you act recklessly. You cannot just randomly kill a character if there isn't any conflict between you and the person you're plotting to kill. This rule doesn't apply if you are, however, approached to ally with one person set to kill another character. You can still join in and help kill whomever the target is. This is probably the most important rule: No godmodding. If you fail to reply to the post where you are either getting killed or about to kill someone for three dayswithout notifying the admins, you will automatically die. Extension for replies can only last for five days. You must reply (even if it's a short reply) or else you will evidently turn up dead.

Anyone can be a spy, from royalty to peasantry, everybody can assume the role of a spy to gather information and sell it to their chosen character. Spies can openly plot their betrayals with the person they've chosen to give the information, but it has to be a CLOSED plot for the betrayal to remain a secret from everybody. An OPEN plot can lead to other characters infiltrating your post, therefore, ruining the information and transaction. METAGAMING is NOT ALLOWED. Any information written in CLOSED plots and BIOGRAPHIES should not concern you, unless you're part of the plot or the information is publicly displayed and done OPENLY. Example of what not to do: Character A has written their abilities in their biography, but suddenly Character B is talking about it with someone or with Character A, when Character A has never shown their ability publicly or told Character B about it. MORE of what not to do: Character A is a spy who has plotted with Character B and has gained crucial information about Character B. However, Character A is plotting in a CLOSED plot with Character C about the information they gained from Character B, but suddenly Character B knows about the transaction going on between A and C.

Ever since the rule of Queen Elaena Bloodfyre, she has chosen to ban the half-bloods in the court of House Bloodfyre and in Dragonsgate as punishment for being impure. It is not an uncommon practice, as Eira and Erys themselves shipped all their bastard children in different islands due to their fear of their half-bloods mating with their children. It is also in the decree of Queen Elaena Bloodfyre that any half-bloods found in possession of a dragon or dragon egg would be punished greatly and their dragon thrown in the dragon pits to be eaten by other dragons.

Noble Houses are sworn allies of the Five Great Houses. It is a blood oath and a religious and sacred alliance, therefore breaking allegiance to your designated Great Royal House would mean a great deal of punishment, and even the extinction of your House. Loyalty is a key in the game, but this doesn't prevent you from betraying the House you are serving. Betrayals are not unheard of. The famous split of allegiance in House Ethoria is a great example of betrayal and the bannermen of House Girelon refusing to march with Lanier Leonhart even though they were united Houses is another example. If you do decide to betray your allied Royal House, your House, however, will be branded as a traitor and many consequences are in store for those who commits acts of treason.
