.. I am not a huge fan of a lot of rules. However, when you scroll through here you may be like WTH$#@#%% .. So let me begin with these very simple rules; Don't be a dick (OOCly), share the screen and practice good RP Etiquette, and respect that we prefer a lower fantasy, grittier setting for our Nord community. The rest of this is all just details for those who don't get that.

Code of Conduct

Be Kind

Kindness in a community will grow it, a lack of kindness will kill it. A failure to be kind will drive out those players who are themselves kind and keep only those who are not. Gamers and role-players come from all walks of life with all manner of personal challenges. Let's function under the premise that if we have nothing nice to say we say nothing at all.

Be Tolerant

While I tend to equate a lack of tolerance with a lack of kindness, I'm going to make an additional statement here. Please welcome everyone regardless of race, creed, religion, politics, or sexual/gender orientation. Additionally, do not accuse anyone of being racist, homophobic, fanatical, nazi, fascist, etc.

Role-Play Style

All the Nords

This community was created and is maintain for those role-players who are part of the Nord Community, We do allow other races, but we will actively maintain the Nord cultural feel if we must. So while you are welcome to bring your non-Nord here to join, we expect them to adopt our culture and traditions. We reserve the right to restrict how many non-Nords are in our community.

High Fantasy vs Low Fantasy

ESO offers a wide spectrum of role-play options for players that swings quite far between low and high fantasy. This is good, it gives the overall role-play community more options than just one does. However, as you likely know, individual players have individual preferences. As a group, I think we tend to fall closer to the low fantasy side and are likely to view high fantasy characters with suspicion. I welcome you to come discuss this with me if you have any concerns about how your preferences fits in.

What this means for magic

We are applying no OOC restrictions on what type of magic is used and will be supporting the player base's IC opinions on magic. And while we expect the average nord to have a problem with necromancy, daedra or even magic in general, we expect it to be handled ICly.

However the OOC guideline is: The guild wants to see magical solutions used less then a third of the time to solve guild problems. This can be handled in a variety of ways by the players, and will only be addressed by the guild leadership if this guideline is ignored.
