Incendium

— Respect your family - Respect your pack and your packmates. Remember, respect is earned within the pack and is not to be expected right away. Earning respect from the king and your peers is easy, however, with deeds and work done within the pack and the willingness to work hard and contribute. Disrespectful members will be promptly dealt with.

— Concerning pups - -Pups born to Incendium, remain in Incendium. Whether by a loner or elsewhere, the pups are to be raised in the pack until old enough to make their own decision on whether or not they wish to stay or go. In the event the parent(s) wish to leave before the pups are of age, they may state their case to the Rex, or challenge for the right to leave with their pups. If stating their case, the decision of the Tier 1's will be dependent on certain factors.

— Learn how to survive - Don’t be helpless. Living in Incendium is not easy. If you do not know the bare basics of hunting, healing, and fighting you must agree to learn, leave, or dropped into the lowest ranks until you figure out how to survive without depending on your packmates for help... You will not survive here otherwise. The knowledge need only be rudimentary, but it is important nonetheless. No member of Incendium will be left without the basic knowledge of these core survival skills if it can be helped.

— Pull your weight - Whether you like it or not, this is your home now. Everyone must pull their weight one way or another. If you haven't figured out your field of interest, that's fine. Simply help the pack in other ways, such as helping healers look for herbs, border patrols, looking after pups, training, etc. Those who sit around and do nothing will be warned. Those who continue to do nothing after a first warning will be demoted, and after that is up to the Rex. Continue to shirk duties, and he won't be nice about it.

— Don’t start it if you can’t finish it - Not everyone may get along, and those who have gotten on each other's nerves may settle their disputes however they wish, but may only do so with Tier 2 fights (there are some exceptions, however). Simply inform a Tier 2 or higher member to oversee the fight. Keep in mind they will not be allowed to interfere in any way without good reason. Starting disputes with allied packs are forbidden in most cases (raids are exempt from this), but if it happens then you must let the Rex know. Failure to inform the Rex (and if he finds out from another party later, will result in consequences. If a tier 2 (dice rolled) fight is not satisfactory enough, then the Rex may be approached to request a Tier 1 fight. There is a special custom set for disputes requiring Tier 1 fights. Remember, any disputes that need to be settled with a fight (tier 1 or 2) must be brought to the attention of a tier 2+, or the Rex, else consequences/punishment may occur!

— Rank Challenges, Promotions, & Attaining higher ranks - There are several ways to rise up in the ranks. First and foremost, the easiest way to rise in rank is with activity. The more active a pack member within the pack, the more likely you are to be recognized. Help your packmates, patrol, call hunts or other training sessions, get to know your packmates, and be involved. Hard work, effort, and activity will be recognized, and once you feel you have achieved this, you may approach the Rex and request a promotion (or the Rex may approach you). The second way to earning a higher rank is challenging for it. Any rank up to Tier 2 may be challenged for at any time, however, keep in mind that if your activity and your contributions to the pack are lacking, then you will be denied. In these cases, you may only challenge to the next tier above your current tier (excluding tier 2). Thirdly, promotions may be given out during meetings, or via an approach from a tier 1 or Tier 2 member if they've recognized your hard work and contributions to the pack. Keep in mind, if your activity is low within the pack, and you request a promotion (or attempt to challenge for one) you will not be granted the position regardless of your winnings. Lack of effort and duty will result in demotions with or without warning. Challenges for all ranks up to Tier 2 are welcomed and encouraged. However, should you win your fight but fail to uphold your duties (1 IC season/2 ooc months), you will be demoted back to your previous rank. The Rex may also choose to accept or deny your request to challenge, however, if the challenger has not been active beforehand. If more than one party is interested in a certain position, then special rules will be implemented. Ranks may also be given based on skill (see below).
— Skill Level Plays a Part - A pack members skill level is often taken into consideration. The higher your skill level(s), the more likely it is you will be promoted to higher ranks. In fact, your skill level(s) may determine which fields you can rank into, and may also grant you the ability to skip certain ranks altogether. Wolves whose skill is higher, are recognized for their work and may even earn them special privileges, promotions, possible hidden ranks (revealed upon discussion/if the idea comes up, etc), and other goodies.

— What happens behind these walls, stays behind these walls - Loose lips sink ships. Do not spill confidential information nor the secrets of your brothers and sisters to outsiders. As a precaution and for safety, this includes naming those within our borders. Do not speak ill of the pack or drag down its name. If you feel the need to do so, then take up your concerns with the Rex. Members may speak about the pack in an effort to recruit others into our ranks. Those found to be slandering Incendium's name will be punished.

— Love and Mates - When it comes to mates, the Rex doesn't care who you choose to bed as long as they are not an outsider. If the potential mate is a loner, then he or she must join the pack first. Taking a mate from another pack (outside of arranged marriage) is forbidden as this can lead to tensions or complications between packs. Either he/she joins Incendium, or you challenge to leave the pack. In the event of a one-night stand, that is your choice, however, if pups result from your actions, then the Rex must be informed. Failure to inform the Rex will result in consequences. Attempting to keep it a secret will be considered treason. It's in your best interest not to keep it a secret. We have spies and trackers, after all.

— Leaving Incendium - If a member wishes to leave the pack of their own accord, they may have to challenge the Rex. Your level of activity within the pack as well as the respect you've earned while within Incendium may determine whether or not you can go without challenging. If you refused to contribute to the pack, ignored training and mandatory calls or failed to help your fellow pack mates, then it is more likely you will be required to challenge, however, keep in mind that if those who have contributed little to nothing will be required to challenge for their freedom. Should they lose, they will be docked to the rank of Servus. After that, (and if they're feeling lucky), they may try again at a later date.

— Concerning trespassers- Trespassers are to be attacked on sight, no exceptions!!! Any pack member who finds a trespasser must sound the alarm to alert the rest of the pack. Force claims (if you're high enough in rank to do so), and maims (bonus points for shredding/removing ears or scarring over their left eye or across the face) are preferred. Give trespassers a reason to think twice about doing it again.

— Pack loyalty- Loyalty is important. Whether you love or hate your alpha and/or your packmates, you must give your loyalty regardless. Should a wolf be found to have been disloyal to the pack, they will face consequences.

— No one is exempt- The rules apply to everyone in the pack, including the Rex's children, Heirs, and so forth. The Rex & Regnatrix are exempt (though they aim to set the example) for they are the ones who create them. Rules may be changed at any time as they see fit, however.
