In Character Rules

1. Please keep in mind that Ardent is a PG-13 site. If you believe your thread will exceed this rating, please make sure to mark the thread title with an M for mature. While this mark may be used for excessive adult language and sexual encounters, it does not permit for exceedingly detailed sexual posts to be written. If you feel like your post contains ‘triggers’ such as rape, beatings, ect., please edit in a trigger warning as well.

2. We allow liquid time on Ardent. This means you may be in multiple threads at once, some which may be in the past or future of one another, and in various places at once. We encourage members to understand the timeline in which events take place for their characters to avoid confusion, as well as sticking in the current season.

3. Every 8 out-of-character weeks is one season in-character. The current season will be listed in the welcome table on our front page for reference, as well as listed on the Map & Seasons page of the guidebook.

4. Each player has 11 free character slots. All members are allowed up to 11 characters without a gemstone cost. If you would like to exceed this limit, additional character slots can be bought in our gem-store with our on-site currency.

5. The homelands of packs on our home page are colored, and match up with the pack colors on the sidebar. Be warned that trespassing on a pack's lands can be met with punishment! It is your responsibility to check if a land belongs to a pack before posting there.

6. Be aware of who you are threading with. Some characters come with warnings in their signature. If it says they are prone to violence, it is up to you to decide if you would like to thread with them or not. If you have a character who is prone to violence, please do warn others with placing it in your signature. However, if you are feeling bullied or treated unfairly, don’t be afraid to bring it up with staff.

7. Be aware of where you are threading. In addition to pack lands where trespassing may earn IC punishment there are three lands with very specific OOC rules:

Somnium is intended as a place for dead characters to interact with each other, or with a living character they either knew in life or are directly blood related to. It is not for two living characters to thread together. A longer explanation of the rules is pinned in the forum.

The Battlefield and The Boneyard are intended as a claiming ground as well as for official fights such as pack challenges. Spars, maims, and death matches are also allowed to be posted here if desired. Unless participating in or spectating a battle a pack wolf under Tier 2 should not be posted to threads in the Battlefield as they have no ability to claim and therefore no authority in the Battlefield. Please see the Guidebook page 05. Fighting and Judging for more information regarding claims in the Battlefield and The Boneyard.
