Darka/School of Obedience/Class 2: Tenets of Conduct.

Tenets of Conduct

New to Darka, and under the guidance of your new Mentor, you should be aware of the following tenets. Being newly introduced to the Darkan way, you will be allowed the grace of a few mistakes, but fail to obey or acknowledge these tenets and it can greatly alter your future in this realm. Please observe the following-

Tenet 1: Do not hesitate in asking about any subject you are confused on. No matter how simple, or how complex, I am here to guide you to understanding of all things “Darkan”. As a Mentor I will never command you or belittle you in a way that points to your inability to understand new ideas and details of Darka. You will never be punished or be made to feel embarrassed over any questions you may have.

OOC:Simply go to your message center to the left of your screen and click it

Tenet 2: Feel free to introduce yourself to the realm. Your scribes are very trained in getting your messages to others and the more you interact with others, the more they will know you are part of the mercenary family. If you are silent or not one to make a big hubbub about your actions or conversations, then feel free to remain that way. But if you do take the time to get to know the realm, you will find your future filled with many Mercenaries who will gladly take a step out of the way, or a sword to the face, just to help you. Those who learn to befriend the realm’s populace, find it easier to walk among us knowing there are those around them who honor you as their sister or brother.

Tenet 3: Respect and follow orders of your superiors. Those above you in the chain of command are placed there to keep you, and all of us, alive and heavy with gold. Refusing to accept or follow orders is a fast way towards banishment or death by Darkan Law. Mercenaries can not afford to have one weak link in our chain of strength. It is your duty to insure you are never that weak link.

OOC: Battlemaster is a game that allows you to play as little or as much as you wish. If you miss a day or two (or more) do not worry. The players are all understanding of the real-world and its demands. None of us want to see you lose interest or fun in this great game because some jerk is making demands of your game-time. You are here to have fun, relax and just lose yourself in a wonderful world that is protected and loved by its creator, players and programmers alike. If any player EVER makes demands on your time (saying you log on too little, or scolds you for missing a turn, etc) then they are in direct conflict with the rules of Battlemaster.

Tenet 4: You are free to choose your line of work. No one can ever order you to choose a class. If you want to be a Knight, be one. If you want a life of trading and selling, then the class of Trader would be right up your alley. You are free to be anything you wish with only one acception. The realm MUST approve your choice to be a Bureaucrat.

OOC: You must have the approval of the Arch Priestess and/or the King’s council to choose the class of Bureaucrat. All other choices are protected under your official rights of a player.

Be aware that choosing which class to play as is one of a noble's inalienable rights in Battlemaster. Anyone who gives you orders about choosing which class to play as should be reported to the Titans or Magistrates.

Tenet 5 Trust in your mentor. I will never guide you in the wrong direction. It is my goal to perfect you as a weapon and warrior. My ways of teaching are unique even within Darka. I will see to it that when you graduate, all within Darka will know you have earned the true title of a true Mercenary, and above all; you will be a perfect machine built to kill with skill and polished tactics.
