Territory and Building Rules

Return to Previous Page

### 1) Build & Thrall Limits:

-Only those of specific professions are allowed to use stables/animal pens. Mines, compost bins, or planters are prohibited. Any clan violating these rules will have the items removed and will not be refunded.

-While thralls and mounts are relevant to our area, especially with specific classes benefitting from having an animal companion, there are going to be limitations on these.

-Having more than this amount without an extension or donation, is subject to an admin clearing out any excess.

### 2) Make a clan:

You MUST make a clan before you build ANYWHERE. Even as a solo player, you have to be in a clan. If you do not, your buildings will be destroyed. It is your responsibility to read the rules, and any non-clan-owned builds will be destroyed on sight.

### 3) Territory:

Our map on Chronicles of the Fade is divided into different regions and territories by borders. While the traditional map uses a grid system, ours has a legend key that can be used for which land claim you are currently inside. Most of these regions can be claimed by a clan as their territory after opening a ticket and applying to do so. Claiming and maintaining an area for a clan to control requires the following: the clan must have at least 8 people the clan leader must be defined

* a clan is limited to controlling only one territory at a time but can make alliances with clans adjacent

you cannot build on the edges of the zone you control in order to prevent players from building in neighboring territories due to the distance between builds.

### 4) Valid Land Claim:

To have a valid land claim you must have some structure that resembles a building or camp, even if it is a neatly placed tent with reasonable decoration. Foundation spamming or placing foundation pieces to "save a building location" is only allowed for a week maximum and if found to be there longer or an egregious amount, it will be removed by the admin.

### 5) Location & Spawn Blocking:

Under no circumstance are you allowed to block entrances to dungeons or block pathways as players may wish to go through these areas. You cannot block access to quests placed by Chronicles staff for any reason.

### 6) Distance between builds:

Do not build within 80 foundations of another clan from the center of your build to the edge of someone else’s. If you are unsure if you are too close you can use the Roleplay Redux movement tracker to check or ask for admin assistance. You may build within 80 tiles of another persons build if you get their permission and you are not a sister clan. Large builds must be at least out of render distance. If you are in the same faction, ie a faction hub such as the Dalish encampment, you may build closer so long as it does not clash with the theme, and the faction leader approves. Faction leaders reserve the right to refuse on any grounds, and if it becomes a problem admins may be called to step in. Admins also reserve the right to remove builds by force if it is a big enough issue.

### 7) No foundation stacking:

Please do not stack foundations unnecessarily. We make allowances for stacking foundations up to 3 high for stability issues and leveling out uneven terrain.

### 8) Accurate builds:

Anyone found exceeding limits and ignoring rules will be audited and staff reserve the right to edit your build for you, if you do not edit within building rules in a timely manner. All builds should be lore and aesthetically appropriate. Please keep this in mind when planning your builds. DO NOT build Battle/noob Cubes. (you know what these are. Don't do it.)

### 9) Donations:

We appreciate everyone who has donated to our server and thank all of you immensely for wishing to contribute. However, in the event of multiple donors in a clan, only the highest building allotment will be taken into consideration in a clan. What this means is that if X has the Arl tag with 200 build piece and 100 placeable extension, and Y has the Teyrn tag with 400 build piece and 200 placeable extension, and they are both in the same clan, only Y's will be taken into account on limitations.

### 11) Clan size & Limitations:

Admins are not allowed to be in clans with players, to prevent any abuse of power or bias towards specific groups. All players must be in a clan at all times, even those who choose to play alone. A clan's maximum size is 12, with no exceptions. If the server expands to accommodate more, then this rule may be amended. Sister clans are prohibited, but we encourage making agreements between clans.
