Greetings and allow us to introduce ourselves. We are Lady Powin and Lord Timosha, rulers of Darkmoor Manor. As you know, all homes have rules and we are nae different. These rules will help you better to enjoy your time spent with us.  If you are new and break a rule, we will give you a second (sometimes third and fourth) chance to correct yeself.  If it becomes a consistent worry, ye will either become a "guest" of our stockade or be escorted off the premises by the guards until such a time ye make restitution.

While this may seem harsh to ye, recall that in this time frame (England 1109) where we are, ye could have gotten yeself drawn and quartered, beheaded or hung!

Our home is on hallowed ground open to the weary traveler, we offer ye food, drink and a place to rest.  Many such travelers have come and gone, some stay and make our lands their home.  Many continue their journey or quest, then return us to stay.

Well, what are these rules ye might ask? 

First, since it tis our home, and nae a town tavern, ye must knock at our door and tell Mistress Liann ye name.

Second, although we have guards outside and inside our home, we do require ye to leave ye weapons with Mistress Liann.  She will keep them safe in her closet, and ye may retrieve them when ye leave our manor.

Third, is it too much to ask to be polite and courteous?  Mind ye actions and ye speech for we do have young ones about. (We do have young role players and we keep our channel rated PG13)

Fourth, can ye feel it?  Tis magic in the air!  We ask that ye nae use your magic within our home for a variety of reasons.  The one that concerns ye the most is the fact that ye magic will backfire upon ye.
