- is dueling resulting in the death of one’s character or of their combatants. All DM’s On Anesidora - shall adhere to these guidelines.

(The rp from that specific point in which you are about to engage the opponent in a DM should be place on hold until both parties agree to the terms and the witness is there to verify the terms in which were agreed upon.- This includes but is not limited to: Stating the RP rule set you will use for battle, if people are able to jump into aid in the DM or not - And if the RPC will remain permanently dead or if they can be revived, and if so, how long until the rpc is able to be resurrected, PLUS if the rpc’s spirit will be playable (meaning the player is able to play their rpc as a lost soul among the realm of Anesidora) if the rpc dies.

---------------Death--------------
1. Death ends the life of a person in Anesidora, unless it is found

Once a person dies, the soul can be resurrected within three irl days. A chat log must be presented stating day of death. EST will be used to track time. The deceased will roleplay as a spirit wandering the land. Spirits cannot communicate with the living orally or physically, but can interact with the environment or immerse themselves in dreams to allow others knowledge of their presence. The atmosphere within Anesidora, allows newly deceased souls to be placed within it's respective body due to it's anomalies. The person resurrecting the will be given rights to the soul, allowing the character to be under his/her dominion unless the ressurector chooses to relinquish this dominion. If resurrection is not fulfilled during the time limit, the soul is then recycled to fuel the dying universe and the rpc will be lost. Souls cannot be forcefully resurrected; without an agreement, this will be considered power-play.
Soul Eating-
One can only eat the soul of one whose rpc has been killed by them (if they are a soul eater) and has stated such at the beginning of the battle/engagement - This is considered fair play. HOWEVER; the soul eater can never play the dead player (if they have the abilities to summon the soul back on the field in another battle) The original player will be the one who plays the soul of that character and that characters abilities in the battle.
-------------Assassination-----------
1. There are no accepted guidelines for assassination in Anesidora.
Assassination attempts are to be viewed as duels for cause with a heavily built storyline around the battle as to how it was even possible to perform an assassination of the roleplayers rpc (everything must be taken into consideration and the overall rp must be reviewed by three judges and the AWC before it's stated a success.) So in other words you may attempt to assassinate someone in their sleep - but the person who is about to be assassinated has the right to wake up and duel you on spot. (Assassinations are only reviewed there is no need for agreement upon terms of an assassination - UNLESS the assassination is planned for storyline purposes by the person being assassinated and the assassinator. )

2. Generally, resurrection terms are negotiated by an independent third party. Terms may be anything agreeable to all concerned but generally involve an exchange of services or status.
3. When successful resurrection negotiations have been concluded, a letter shall be sent to everyone concerned to reflect the resurrection and its terms.
1. One may declare themselves protectors of another if the other agrees

2. One that is under protection should not initiate combat. This act will void protection and break the blood ties between the two. They may defend if attacked only - never initiate.
