1 Basic Information:

The Covenant Realm is a Role Play and Combat Zone using CCS Meter. We would like to advise our guest and visitors to not use any other combat HUDs or meters in our roleplay zones other than our recommended HUD/Meter.

2 Conduct:

Be respectful at all times while you are inside our Regions. Race/Faction Guardians as well as all the officers that are found around the realm are here to assist anyone who needs all the necessary and additional information about the Rules, Regulations and Limits of our role-play.

We will not tolerate any of your harassments, griefing, profanity and/or ill-mannered approach towards any of our Race/Faction Guardians, officers and citizens.

3 Observing:

Please keep in mind that the realm proper (2 regions), which are located on the ground, are considered as a full role-play and combat zone.

If your intension is to visit and/or roam around our regions, you are free to do so by wearing a CCS Meter set to "Non-combative" status to avoid unnecessary role-play or combat engagement(s) between you and our citizens.

Else, turn your CCS Meter to "On" if you are ready to accept role-plays and combat activities on the realm proper.

4 Role-play

Major Role-play Events are exclusively hosted and/or monitored by our officers including but not limited to scenarios/plot, character(s) and/or faction participations.

We do not host minor and/or side role-play events. All citizens are entitled to role-play in free form before and after our Major Role-play Events.

We have the right to acknowledge or disregard certain minor role-play by our citizens from including it on our main story if we find that the scenario is not fitting a current theme or any of the realm's faction background.

5 Combat Engagements

Duels, combat practices/trainings should be made on the Arena and/or some parts of the realm that the Race/Faction Guardian(s) opened for combat activities.

Major and Minor Events that may ask your participation with combat engagements should have prior notice. You are not allowed to attack any citizen inside the realm without any combat arrangements.

All tournaments should be made inside the region only. However, you may propose several activities outside the realm's proper to the Sovereign / Owners of the regions only. CCS Intersim activities are very welcome.

6 The Group(s) and our Website

The Covenant Role-play group is one of our major communication in-world. Every member of the group are allowed to receive notices and updates through the group and are able to open a chit chat, role-play posts, inquiries and suggestions on it. However, you are not allowed to post any form of personal and business advertisement(s) that has nothing to do with The Covenant Realm nor approved from posting.

Each race/faction has its own group they maintain. All citizens who wish to join the role-play should belong to a certain race/faction group upon series of applications or interviews with their race/faction guardian.

Guild groups are welcome inside the realm and are to be approved by a certain guardian the Sovereign has assigned to them. All incoming guild groups shall agree to all parts of the Laws stated herein and to all parts of the agreement of the Race/Faction Guardian who attended/assisted them.

The Covenant Realm Website and Forums (http://www.covenantrealm.com) is an alternative way for us to communicate better without minding each other's time availability. All active citizens who wish to receive constant updates about the realm are asked to register on our website to keep you more aware of our current standing and situations. It is mandatory to all officers and race/faction's internal officers.

7 Rezzing:

No vehicles are allowed unless they are pre-approved by any member of The Covenant Stronghold or anyone from the Covenant Guardians. Please avoid all unnecessary rezzing on any part of the region unless it is required or declared as part of an ongoing role play event. Please avoid rezzing, wearing or attaching any form of advertisement while at the realm's premises.

8 Residences and Shops:

The Covenant Realm now offer affordable homes for rent for its citizens and these homes are meant to be part of our on-going role-play scenarios for more variations. We will not assure nor claim any privacy on these homes as The Covenant regions are not private residential regions.

The Covenant Realm's business section called "The Marketplace" is located at the main region's Landing Point, 3000 feet above the realm proper. All necessary shop rental information is stored in a note card and can be taken from any shops rent box (occupied or vacant) found at The Marketplace. You may also contact any of the Covenant Sovereigns: Wrheckz Constantine or Rain Enderfield.

Races/Factions that may also choose to require its members or recommend a certain race language translator to its group is all between the agreement of the citizen and their race/faction or guild.

Our primary language is English or you may choose to role-play in an Old-English way is all up to you and your crowd.

15 Reporting:

We do understand that there are cases when some people communicate in a distasteful, rude or offensive manner. If this occurs and you feel it is necessary to report that individual, we ask you to send a normal Abuse Report directly to Linden Labs.

16 Penalties and Consequences

Failure to comply with any of these rules will result to an immediate ejection from the realm and serve as the first and only warning. If you return and continue to violate these rules, you will be ejected and banned permanently. Failing to read these rules does not excuse anyone from abiding by them.

WARNING: Any member of The Covenant Stronghold Officers may choose to eject / ban any visitor or guest declaring it as their first and only warning. Permanent Ban depends on the rule breaking and amount of leniency they decide to give to each individual.
