Rules of Rat-Quistion

The Rules of Rat-Quisition are a hybrid between sales guide and holy text for the Cult of the Three-Tailed Rat. These rules are determined by the Three-Tailed Rat, who then whispers them in dreams to his Verminlord. The Verminlord then transcribes the rules into new editions for the Rules of Rat-Quisiton. New rules are added constantly, some of which will seem to conflict with other rules. This is supposedly to ensure his worshippers maintain a sharp eye and mind, ready to grab any advantage or opportunity they can.
