Basic rules: 1- Respect other players and admins. 2- Use full sentences. 3- Do not use knowledge that your character would not know (ie no meta-gaming). 4- Admins and the GM(me) cannot grant themselves exp or perform their own Rank-ups and must follow the rules like everyone else. 5- Admins must login at least once a week. 6- No one can always hit or dodge, etc (ie no power plays). 7- If you have an issue with how another player is acting, contact the GM or an admin with a screenshot or links to the posts. 8- Do not bring personal out-of-game issues into the game. 9- Have fun my friends.

Ranks and Rank rules: The ranks are in 3 sections Shared ranks, Demonic ranks and Heroic ranks.

Shared ranks: Neophyte (0-30 exp), Intermediate (30-100 exp) and Prestige (100-500 exp)

Demonic ranks: Queen (500-2000 exp), Satan (2000-5000 exp) and Lilim (5000+ exp)

Heroic ranks: Knight, Paladin and Hero (exp needed is the same as the Demonic ranks)

Rank rules: 1- All new characters, regardless of type, must start as a Neophyte. 2- The shared ranks are used mostly to teach you about the rules, the world and how online roleplay works. 3- Queen or Knight ranked characers can gain territory, either through allocation, expedition or aquisition. (A- Territories will not start out large and can grow as you do, however those with territory must take care of their in-game and out-of-game responsibilities. B- Allocation is territory given to you by a higher ranked character or admin that has territory. C- Expedition is previously unclaimed territory being claimed by a correctly ranked character with an admin present in-game that gives you a seal of approval and an admin present, either in or out-of-game, to give a second oppinion. D- Aquisition is taking territory through battle or competition. In this case three admins or the gm must be present to make sure all rules are followed.) 4- Exp is gen to characters by the GM or admins for good roleplay and interesting stories, they do not need to be present for the characters to gain exp, the characters involved can just send them an email with a screenshot or a link to the roleplay. 5- Rank-ups must be performed in-game by an admin or higher and must be have an admin or higher present in-game as an observer.

Subsection Territories: 1- The GM and admins cannot just force someone out of their territory, a hearing will be held for the character and both parties will present their cases to an appointed judge, even if the GM is making a case against the character. 2- In the case of Aquisition the challenger chooses the competition and the current holder cannot use their artifact. 3- A new challenger must wait three weeks to challenge a new territory holder for their territory. 4- The rules and regulations for each challenge must be agreed upon by all competitors and an admin or higher.
