If you wish to play a race, ensure you learn the perks and flaws for more fluid gameplay.
If you have a flying shapeshifting form (i.e Vampire), you may not adjust the flight speed. The default (lowest) fly speed should be on at all times. Breach of this rule may lead to removal of shapeshifting form.
Each race will have a cap at 6, unless agreed with the admin for the sake of a story line. Please see the races for info on how many spaces of this role are available.
When ‘turning’ another player, you cannot PvP for 24 hours, and are ‘vulnerable’. If your character can fly, doing so during PvP, such as if someone is rolling or whilst in a PvP situation, is forbidden. You will be given a warning if you abuse this. Only Elders and Alphas are able to do this with a direct Bite or Scratch. Players should still complete the cure quest even if there is a cap reached. (Check OTHER for no fly zones.)
Please consider immersion when flying. I have seen a few imps carrying larger players and flying with them. I have also seen them flying people around the map to get to places. I will be forced to increase stamina usage if this keeps being abused.
Humans can ask to be turned but the consequence is blood bound to a vamp, slave to a lich, pack to a were. There could be a chance being turned to a Lich goes wrong, and you become trapped as a Ghoul, the only way out being perma death. Likewise, these creatures may not give you the choice and you may have the option for 48 hours of completing a quest to prevent your character ‘turning’. WIP

Coffins should not be hidden behind Utility doors - Utility doors are purely for the use of RP and RP areas, as explained in my earlier announcement R.E loot. Coffins should be hard to find, but accessible, and within your village or outposts.
You may play another race not listed here if confirmed by the admin to be okay, but they will not have perks/flaws etc.
Roleplay is mandatory on the server, you must ensure your play style is RP. This server is mainly text based, although some like to voice.
Every move you make in game will contribute towards your RP. Every interaction should be RP’ed. When in a game, you are your character. There is no OOC interaction, unless you are getting help from an admin. Please remember the way a person behaves IC is a completely separate OOC, do not hold grudges etc based on stories. Keep personal feelings separate, your feelings toward someone IRL should have no impact on your RP.
This server runs a Roleplay over Ruleplay, this means, if a situation is on the border of rule breaking admin/moderators, reserve the right to allow it if they believe it can enrich RP. However this will not be approved every time. Do NOT assume the rule will not be applied.
Please ensure your game character name matches your discord name.
ERP – We do not ban it here, we are all adults, but please check peoples BIOs to see if they're into it before you get freaky. Do not throw ERP around, it stays behind closed doors.
Where you live must be immersive. Having a sabretooth in the desert is not immerse. You MAY request to RP one as a pet, this mainly means for guarding pets etc. A general rule of thumb would be to only use the animals that spawn in the area you live in.
Character Info is compulsory, please create these in the characters stories forum on discord and post the link in a ticket when you are finished, for staff confirmation.
Streaming and recording of videos is allowed on this server with permission from other roleplayers (if a private scene).
Local/Shout/Mumble should be used for RP only, if you wish to speak in character, please return to general to ensure the flow of RP.
Please ask admin via a ticket for Utility doors
When spying/attempting to overhear a conversation, please dice roll for this. Realistically if you are on a roof, what are the chances of clearly hearing a conversation? Its only fair due to the range of local that you give players the opportunity to sense you there.
If you are trespassing in a village, and sneaking around, please remember to use dice rolls and roleplay this. Please open a ticket when trespassing, as some people have guards that will give information.
Please do not use mages as a mean to escape RP or PvP.
The Ravens system should be used for RP only. There is a roleplay notification channel on discord that should be used creatively - do not just say 'Sent a raven'
Narrating your character in the correct discord channels to give clues IS allowed. You may also use global to state /me has sent forth a Raven etc. There are notice boards around the lands, you can get free /kit notes to pin on these, or on doors. For example: ‘Runa posts a note at Outers inn looking to trade’. You are also able to use the discord tab named 'Roleplay Emotes' for this. Global is not to be used to arrange RP OOC - you must use the correct channels/means provided. You can use these channels on discord: Events, Emotes, Marketplace, Raven Notifications and Rumours. In game, you can emote in global and set an RP icon on the map.
/Act function- You cannot /act someone else, unless discussed with them and there is a RP reason /act is limited to local chat only /act should be limited to 3 or less disguises When using /act you must enable opportunities for people to challenge this in correct RP form (e.g. someone recognises a distinct tattoo, or your long hair and asks you to remove your hood). Using /act is to be used as a disguise or in an event, not to BE another character Using /act can be used in global as opportunities to be something not a mechanic of your RP e.g.. a Raven being sent or a God telling you something.
Mini events such as ‘The tavern is selling drinks at half price’ may occur. Other people may post events in the form of notes, and on discord, to give a place, date and time for something.
Admin reserve the right to join clans and check raven cages to check no rule breaking has been committed.
Whilst you do not need to announce your role, if you are a thief, you must confirm this with the admin.
Max 6 thespians in your own market but must be being used, 1 in other peoples markets (1 per market)
The sales should be relevant to the area e.g. fur in the highlands, venom glands near the river, to keep to RP and to also allow travel to other markets etc. but this is not a strict rule, merely a suggestion
You are not permitted to steal thespians
There should be one market per clan to ensure it's fair for all. Please build these where you live and not close to hubs.
