Ludus Gallicus: Rules for Slaves and Gladiators

## Gladiator Rules

* Gladiators are confined to barracks or training yard unless called upon by Lanista, Domina, or Nona.
* Winning Gladiators, or Gladiators that are otherwise considered loyal and trustworthy are permitted certain luxuries, to be determined by Doctore and Lanista.
* Gladiators may not leave the ludus unless they are given permission to do so by the Lanista only, or unless they are in the company of the Lanista or Domina, or Nona.
* Gladiators found fraternizing with certain slaves, namely Portia and Sinistra, without permission will be punished. All other slaves are fine.
* Rules for the Novicii are much more stringent than those of the full gladiator.

## House Slaves

### General Rules

* Those who take care of the the Lanista or Domina are forbidden from entering the training yard or barracks without express permission from the lanista.
* They are not permitted off the grounds except by permission of Lanista or Domina. The extent to which they are allowed is to be determined based on years of service and acts of loyalty.
* Your character can be killed as a punishment for breaching ludus rules, but as a courtesy you will be informed if your character is progressing towards such an outcome. By making a Ludus slave you are agreeing to these terms and conditions.

### Rules for specific slaves/roles within Ludus Gallicus

* Sinistra/or any slave employed in the same fashion: Sinistra can move freely about the Ludus for the most part, but is not permitted in the barracks unless requested. She also is not permitted in the bedrooms of Quintus and Lavinia unless requested. She does have full access to the Champion's room at all times. She is not permitted off grounds by herself, only in the company of the Lanista and Gladiators and Nona, and only if requested by one of them. She does not have the freedom to ask for such things herself.

* Portia/all handmaidens of the Domina: because she is so new, she is only permitted to be away from Lavinia if she is running errands for her. Wherever Lavinia goes, out of ludus or no, Portia will usually accompany her. She is not allowed near the barracks or training grounds, and fraternization with gladiators is prohibited.

* Nona: Has free reign in order to fulfil her function.

Punishments are to be determined by the Lanista and Domina depending on severity and frequency of transgressions. Punishments can include lashings, heavier than normal chores, deprivation of food and water, mutilation, and even death. Or whatever the head of the house sees fit.

## Regarding use of non Tevene

Use of any language other than Tevene will be punished with 30 lashes. Continued disobedience and refusal to learn the tongue of Tevinter will be punished more severely with each additional infraction. Depending on the usefulness and success of the slave there may be leniency applied. The lanista decides this on a case by case basis.

## Mage rules

* NO RPing set after Nubulis, 9:51. Any threads set from Eluviesta onwards will be deleted on sight.
* Your presence is a SECRET.
* You are slaves to Davo, and nothing more.

Any questions about the mage rules can be sent in a PM to Simon's account. He shall be in contact with you once you join via PM either way.

**RPing Note: Yes, these rules may be attempted to be broken. We're not saying that you can't RP your slaves doing these things; they** **just have to be aware of what actions have consequences. As stated in the general rules - your character CAN be killed as a consequence and you will be informed which IC actions if continued may result in death. If you are unsure then please ask in the plot thread.**
