These rules exist to make the game fair and enjoyable for everyone. If you notice something that may be illegal, or if you are in a dispute with another player or staff member, contact the law team via the lawmail command.

By playing this game you confirm that you are above 18 years of age, and that you have read and understood the below rules and agree to act in compliance with them. You also understand that all actions are logged and observable by staff.

This is a game, and we can settle all disagreements amicably. Always be considerate out of character (OOC) and on the game/discord lines.

You are expected to stay in character (IC) whenever possible to increase immersion and adhere to our setting guide. Roleplay in accordance with the environment, as well as your stats, skills, class, race, and resonance. All characters must be played as adults, both physically and mentally, regardless of your race’s lifespan.

Always write in English and avoid using modern abbreviations and idioms.

Any scripts, triggers, etc., that automate gameplay are illegal. Do not exploit bugs or mechanics. If something seems broken, report it via our game command.

Antagonistic actions are defined as any action that purposefully provokes or annoys another character. Examples: Verbal insults or threats, unsolicited romantic interactions, snitching, breaking city laws, emoting offensive actions, invasion of privacy, stealing from other players, scrying, being in a shapeshifted form, bringing an animal into a civilized area, and using dangerous, harmful and/or disruptive spells/abilities.

See NOPK for rules on how to roleplay with a nopk flag.

Sexual encounters require the consent of all involved characters and must take place in private.

Consent is defined as an OOC statement that someone is willing to participate in scenes of a sexual nature. It must be obtained before the scene can start. Minor romantic interactions require the consent of participating characters, while sexual encounters require the consent of everyone present. Note:

• Consent must be obtained before engaging in sexual RP.
• Consent may be withdrawn at any time without question and it must be complied with.
• Everyone present must be adult members of their race.
• Mobs and NPC's have not consented and cannot be involved, or present, during sexual encounters.

If someone does not comply with the consent rules, please log off and contact staff via Discord (use @admin on the wiz channel to flag the law team) or lawmail. First time offenders will be jailed, second time offenders will be banned.

If you find yourself in a situation that may be traumatic or triggering for you, you may call for a fade away or a fade to black. A fade away means that your character removes itself from the situation without further RP. Fade to black immediately ends the scene and the players discuss in OOC terms how it was resolved.

If someone does not comply with a fade to black, please log off and contact staff via Discord (use @admin on the wiz channel to flag the law team) or lawmail. First time offenders will be jailed, second time offenders will be banned.

Multiple characters, aka alts, are allowed under the following conditions:

• Only one of your alts, referred to as a main, can participate in avatar plots and send avatar mails.
• You may only have one alt logged on at any given time and you may not transfer anything between alts.
• Your alts cannot know each other. If one alt permanently retires, you may request creating a new alt that is related to your old one.
• You may not have two (or more) alts directly involved on two (or more) sides of a conflict.

If one of your alts is involved in a PK, you must play that alt exclusively for the next 7 days, until the situation has been resolved, or until the alt is killed in a PK. If you are killed in the PK, you may not use another alt to initiate PK involving the same characters for 7 days or until the situation has been resolved.

Out of game (OOG) collaboration and communication is allowed under the following conditions:

* Use the wiz channel for questions or comments regarding game mechanics and updates.
* Make no attempts to demand or sleuth another's personal information. 
* OOC threats or abuse in any form, in game or out of game, will not be tolerated.
* Do not use information gained by OOC means in your RP, or act upon OOC knowledge IC.

Using this game as a medium to conduct illegal activities is strictly forbidden.

It will always result in rid and banishment. All character interactions are logged and may be observed by our staff.
