Rules

 * Standard human decency rules. You’re not five.
 * Standard internet rules. You’re not six.
 * Standard wiki rules. This includes the prohibition of belittling.
 * As you might guess from the fact that this story centers around a conflict between two tier 3 Empires, one of whom is only barely tier 3 at start, this fiction is intended to be non-hyperpower friendly. This absolutely does not mean that no very large fictions may participate. It does mean that they should do so in a way which doesn’t negate the importance of smaller fictions.
 * Supernaturals are allowed.
 * You all know how much hates Xhodocto hell. It shouldn’t come up, but if it does, don’t. This is the only area in which Aeo will attempt to use his power as admin of this story to control the creative decisions of his collaborators.
 * Please stop and think about when you’ll be able to rp before getting everyone in a situation where they have to wait for you.
 * Write coherently, and in a way abiding by the proper rules of grammar.
 * This means not using all caps. This wiki allows you to put your words in bold, italics, or underline them. There is absolutely no excuse for using all caps when you have those available to you.
 * Try to spell correctly. It is okay if you fail every now and then. It is not okay if you don’t try. I’m not asking for perfection. I’m asking you not to write My Immortal.

Themes
This story is meant to be about the idea of fighting for what one regards as true and correct. This doesn’t mean that it functions on a black and white morality, but rather that the characters are fighting for something they believe in. This should be a given, unless your character has absolutely no opinion on his actions or the actions of others, on any conscious or subconscious level. I’m only mentioning it as a theme because I want to suggest that you emphasize it even in chapters and sub-plots I don’t directly work on, to try to give the entire work some thematic coherence and connect its numerous chains of events more deeply than simply having them take place around the same and in a manner causally connected to one another.

If you feel that your fiction wouldn’t cohere to this, then first, you’re probably misunderstanding the idea to be narrower than it is. Keep in mind that fighting for what you believe in includes being pragmatic because you regard that as the most rational course of action, as the main antagonists, the Imperium of Rael’nos, will be doing. Even if your character is a moral relativist and thinks that all perspectives are equally valid, they can still be motivated by the vision of the world that they prefer, if only subconsciously.
