- first off, respect everyone
- your over-lord is Tegan, so do as she says and listen to Taya and Rowan
- I don’t want to see arguments in ooc. If you have an issue, take it to me or Taya. If the issue swells, take it off the board and into msn or something, we don’t want to see it here
- we are rated mature, so sex, drugs, swearing, it all goes, if you can’t handle it, just don’t read it.
- power playing is strictly forbidden
- godmoding is SO uncool. Everyone has weaknesses.
- if you mess up your html tags, please fix them so the boards don’t get messy
- if you quit PLEASE let me know so I can remove you from the members list. I won’t be angry, only if you don’t tell me!
- post when you are going to be away, just so people know
- there is a 200 word pp ABSOLUTE minimum.
- this is an intermediate to advanced RPG, so if you don‘t know what you’re doing, please come back later

... Joining ...
}
- if you don’t intend to stay active, please do not join
- you may join as the following- an unbonded human(oid) an unbonded dragon
- you must choose an element when you join. Put at least two choices because if the element numbers are hugely uneven, I may not be able to give you your first choice
- wait to be accepted by either myself, Taya or Rowan
- you must state which land your character intends to go to, or if you will be a ‘wanderer‘(see elements and lands for more information)
- realism isn’t a huge issue here, we welcome werewolves, vampires, angels, demons, and so on and so forth.
- You may currently join with magic, but please, no godmoding. you may be ferused magic if we think it is to powerful. it will also affect the marks you are given.
- The password for joining is the first word of your sample post.
- you may join with one pet, as I know they are often part of the character
- you will need a sample post if you are joining for the first time, and you will be assigned MARKS(money) for it
- you may join as an unbonded dragon, but i will expect a high quality of post, the main reasons for drgaons ebign unbonded are- their bonded has died, they never bonded at birth, or they are from a different continent, where dragons do not bond. please specify.

{
... Bonding ...
}
- a Bond is an unbreakable bond between a human and their dragon, often referred to as their Bonded
- you can bond a Dragon, Phoenix, both or neither, the choice is yours
- to read about phoenix bonding go here
- to bond a dragon go to the hatching grounds while there are eggs. someone will hatch your dragon for you.
- once your dragon has hatched, name it, and it is then yours to control
- anyone can hatch eggs.
- whomever hatches your egg will tell you a vague description. They will stick to your desired description in your joining post as much as possible
- when you bond, you gain the ability to telepathically communicate with your bonded at any time
- the bond is unbreakable, your partner becomes a part of you. If either half of the bond dies, the other half rarely survives
- unbonded dragons may bond with unbounded humans if there is mutual agreement on both sides. You will continue to play your own character.
- if your bonded has died(either dragon or human), it is possible to bond again, but highly unlikely
- your dragon's appearance will depend on your element, descriptions and more information about dragons can be found here.

{
... Elements And Lands...
}
elements
- when you join lof you will either choose or be assigned an element.
- the elements are: earth, air, fire, water, ice and neutral.
- no dark, light, metal, etc.
- element effects your character, so pick wisely, the elements ARE at war.
- the neutral element is better called a lack of element. they are neutral with the war.
- characters of specific elements should not wander into another element's lands. IE: a fire element would NOT be found in "Sapphire Beach"
- Any element may post in the 'neutral' lands
- please keep in mind the chart below, as it will affect how you react to different characters.
lands
- element lands (territories) are created and run by members.
- any member can make and run their own land, but only if there are currently slots available.
- there must be an equal number of territories in each element before the number can be expanded
IE: if fire has 2 lands but all other elements only have 1, fire can't have 3 lands until the other elements catch up.
- the member that owns the land can make up whatever rules they want for their land, as well as land-description, so long as it matches the map.
- any member (of the specific element) may challenge a land-leader (of the same element) for ownership of a land.
- only members of a specific element can own a land of their element
IE: an air member would NOT be able to own a water land.
- within the lands there are "Head Lands". This land is ranked above the others of its element.
- Head Lands may, to an extent, control the lands below it, IE: choosing their order if there are more than 1 below it.
- lands under the Head Land must do as their head land commands, unless they are rebelling (good for plots! ;])
- leaders of regular lands may challange for Head Land.
- Any element may join a neutral land
- To join any land, you must first either be of that land's element, or be an acceptable alternate element.
IE: an earth character could potentially join a water land, since the elements are friendly.
- You may NOT join an enemey element's land.
- Neutral characters may join any land at the Land Leader's acceptance.
- To join a land, you may either post in the land to be accepted, or post in 'Recruiting'.
- Here you post your name, element and possible land preferences. leaders will then post to you with offers for you to join their land.
- Multiple leaders may post to a single Recruit Post with their offer.
- A character DOES NOT have to accept any offer! They may refuse and wait for a better one
- Land leaders may not post to more than 2 Recruit posts in a row unless it has been un-answered for 4 days.
- Lands must remain active. if a land falls inactive (no new posts) for 2 weeks, a warning will be given.
if still inactive for another week (3 weeks total) the land will be removed and the members free to do as they wish.

... Breeding ...
}
- Breeding can only take place in the breeding grounds
- breeding can be short or long, I'm not really fussed.
- Dragons of any element can breed, but element alignment must be kept in mind (no fire and earth breeding, for example)
- Dragons in clutch (pregnant) will produce eggs for every element, not just their own.
- A breeding flight takes place in the following way- the female dragon will rise up to fly and the male dragons will chase her. When the female decides on which male is most suitable, she will allow that male to catch her and the pair will breed.
- keeping in mind that dragons are mentally linked to their bonded, it is not unusual for their humans to become highly emotional… in whichever way…
- phoenixes breed in the same way as dragons
- other animals, such as griffons do not need to hold a flight, but can breed in the.. Er.. Conventional manner.
- in ALL breeding cases, breeding must occur at the breeding grounds and I will post at the end, telling you how many eggs/offspring there will be.
- flight lists can be found the bottom of this page.

{
... Marks ...
}
- Marks are the currency used here on Lof, they can be used to buy things from various shops in the village
-
- each character may not own more than 50 marks at a time
- Marks can be transferred between characters
- any item/magic you own can be sold back to the shop for half of it's original price (rounded down)
- There are a few ways to get marks-
- joining- you will be appointed marks for your sample post
- stealing- you can steal marks via the stealth board
- fighting- you will receive marks for participating in battles
- finding them- they will occasionally be posted around the site
- hatching eggs- 2 marks are rewarded for every egg hatched
- Alchemy- Alchemy is no longer available
- please keep track of your own marks
Top
{
... Magic...
}
- magic can be purchased from the shop
- with great power comes great responsibility- absolutely no godmoding
- while you may have pretty much any magic you want, please be aware that if we think you have too much magic, we will probably ask you to loose some.
- the limit on the number of magic's you can have is now 5
- magic's (such as elemental control) can no longer be grouped.
- an exception to the five magic rule is if you are buying magic for someone else as a gift

{
... Fighting And Stealth...
}
Click here for stealth rules
- Fights are held in the battle plains.
- you can choose to fight for whatever reason-practice, revenge, land position, ect.
- When you meet your opponent, you will set the battle rules- number of posts, word limit, location, magic limits and any other limits
- once your number of posts are up, ask on OOC for someone to judge your battle
- the judge will choose a winner, and marks will be awarded
