1. Stay in character at all times outside of the pre-session area.  Only go OOC (using shout and parantheses) if needed.  Abuse may result in docked experience.  Don't use party chat for OOC, DMs can see that.
2. Tell the DM(s) before hand, if possible, if you're going to be late or miss a session.  DMs are not hearltess and can understand mitigating circumstances.
3. A very miniscule amount of exp will be granted for killing enemies (1%).  The majority will come from roleplaying and making it to a session, so this goes hand-in-hand with the first rule a little bit.
4. Treat your fellow players, and DMs, with respect.  No verbal abuse.
5. Generally when you char loses hitpoints they will be rendered incapacitated, not dead, unless you wish the character dead.  This is to compensate for mistakes.  If it happens often, however, your character will die and will need to be ressurected at a church, with a wand, scroll, or spell if the body is still whole.  Regardless of how many times your character rests, I will only allow the ressurection spell to be cast once per 24 hours of game time.
6. You will be able to rest almost anywhere, but do so at your own risk.  Resting in the wilderness without shelter or bedrolls will result in a penalty if a constituion roll is failed.  Also, you may be attacked while resting if the area is not secured beforehand.  Travelling long distances or remaining active for a long time without resting will result in penalties as well if constitution rolls are failed.  The DC of the roll may be higher or lower depending on how much time/distance has passed.  While resting, your chars can also attempt to build a fire to cook any food obtained from hunting or purchased from stores or to just keep warm and ward off hungry animals at night.
7. Once the campaign starts any multi-classing not mentioned in your char sheet needs to be run by me and the co-dm first.  Most changes will likely be allowed but some will require very good reasons to do so, i.e. adding on paladin levels to a rogue or wizard levels to a druid.

For every class that favors a weapon there can always be exceptions.

• Arcane Archer:  Arcane Archers are elves or half-elves who use their magic to make their bow an extension of themselves.  No other archer can rival their skills and they are much sought after by armies as mercenaries. 
• Arcane Scholar (of Candlekeep):  Arcane scholars are typically wizards, but sometimes sorcerors, who seek a deeper understanding about the innate workings of arcane magic.  They spend their life devoted to seeking knowledge of the nature of arcane magic, and as a result they retain better and more powerful control over their spells.  Most heads of wizardry schools are Arcane Scholars.
• Arcane Trickster:  Arcane tricksters are as varied as the rogues they derive from.  They can be good or evil, depending on how they want to use their new magical skills.  Whatever their intentions, they are generally regarded as being a mild nuisance to established society.
• Assassins:  Whether for gold, pleasure, or other reasons, assassins kill someone by the will of another.  Because of the evil alignment requirement these characters will be scrutinized more closely.  Assassins are known for using short swords, daggers, rapiers, short bows, and light crossbows.
• Barbarian:  Barbarians are fighters who concentrate on offense.  Not necessarily uncivilized, although some barbarians do originate in the more remote areas of Arcadia among clans of humans who tend to shun the rest of the world.  Most barbarians use weapons too large to use a shield in conjunction.
• Bard:  Troubadours and minstrels who use their art and sorcery to either help others or help themsleves.
• Blackguard (Not Playable):  Blackguards, or otherwise known as Black Knights, seem to exist for the sole purpose of destroying what took so long to create.  They work closely with necromancers and pale masters, usually acting as their bodyguards and frontline troops.
• Divine Champion:  Champions are the blessed who decide to take up arms for the gods, usually concentrating on the teachings of one or the other.  They are usually the ones sent out to destroy Black Knights and their comrades.
• Duelist:  Duelists are the embodiment of Aurunian ideals, even though they can come from anywhere.  Instead of relying on hardened steel for protection and giant claymores to cleave their opponents in two, they use their quickness and agility to stab at the vulnerable points on their foe.  They are a sign of changing times, and the realms of Celestia and Edenia would do well to follow Aurun's example in warfare.
• Cleric:  Clerics are the blessed who use their art for healing or more destructive spells as support in battle.  While trained to fight, they usually are not in the frontlines of battle.  Clerics who concentrate on forbidden domains are usually captured and burned at the stake if they do not repent.  Most clerics tend to use blunt weapons for their effectiveness against undead.
• Druid:  Druids are usually reclusive but do help towns and people who require their aid.  They usually live in a forest in a grove and tend to follow the teachings of Yestreigh.  If there are no forests nearby they tend to live in a cave or makeshift shelters.  Druids tend to use staves as their main weapon for they try to shy away from using metal.
• Dwarven Defender:  Why are you looking at this class? There are no dwarves!
• Eldricht Knight:  Another class that originated in Aurun, Eldricth Knights generally serve as the heavy infantry in the army and act as the personal bodyguards of the king.  Some develop a more adventurous spirit, wandering the lands to uncover lore and perhaps split open a goblin's skull in the process.
• Favored Soul:  Favored souls are to divine magic as sorcerors are to arcane magic.  They are feared and respected for their natural connection with the gods.  They can utilize divine magic much more often than clerics, although their repetoire is a bit more limited.  Favored souls are the elite of the church, and many become papal candidates.
• Frenzied Berserker:  These warriors are feared by all, usually encountered in Angarok raids.  However, some of the warriors of Edenia have been known to reach this mental state, going into a frenzy so wild their own body does not even know the lethality of the wounds inflicted upon it.  Their tempers are usually just as wild, they rarely make good companions.
• Fighter:  The typical warriors, fighters use a balance of offense and defense and make up the bulk of Arcadia's human armies.  The less skilled or weaker fighters usually become archers and skirmishers.
• Harper Agent:  Called so because most are bards with military inclination, they are usually employed by generals as scouts and usually operate alone, relying on the wilderness and their own training to survive.  Sometimes they are employed by groups of adventurers heading of into dangerous territory.  Harper agents tend to prefer weapons that benefit from finesse rather than strength.
• Invisible Blade:  Invisible Blades are a semi-secret sect of rogues and fighters that honor the dagger more than any other weapon.  Their belief is that with the right skill, a warrior with a dagger can beat a warrior with a claymore.  They are masters at deception and are generally hired for more public assassinations.
• Monk:  Monks are individuals who reside in monestaries and focus their life on the study of the gods' teachings.  Most shun combat, but there are a few who pick up the stave and head out to enlighten the enemy in their own way.  Keep in mind I want to try and stay away from monks using unarmed combat, although one monk order does exist that practices such an art.
• Paladin:  A general term for blessed individuals who devote their life to the church and enforcing its laws.  They are sometimes used in Celestia's army as shock troops, but most directly serve the Pope.  Other duties including investigating heretics and other church matters that might require more force than a cleric is prepared for.  In Celestia, paladins are called Crusaders.  In Aurun, paladins are called Templars.  In Edenia, paladins are called Knights.  Fallen paladins are generally referred to as Dark Knights for the fact some still try to do good in their own way but have fallen from the lighted path.  They are hunted down and are usually converted back or excommunicated or beheaded.  Most paladins use bladed weapons.
• Pale Master (Not Playable):  Pale masters are necromancers who desire lichdom and usually head the strongholds of Black Knights.  They are killed on sight.
• Ranger:  Rangers are similar to druids but concentrate on the art of combat to defend the works of nature.  Most rangers reside far from any town but close to travelled areas so that they can keep an eye on bandit activity.  Many rangers take it upon themselves to fight off marauding giants.
• Red Dragon Disciple (Restricted):  Thought to be half-demons, all half-dragons are exiled and tend to migrate to the Gorgoth mountains to live with the Gorgo.  Many also harbor heretical ideas similar to the elvish views of the gods.
• Red Wizard:  Red wizards are named so because of their official academy colors.  They hail from Vulcan Academy and are arrogant, powerful, and specialized mages.  They devote their whole life to study of one school of magic and master it, giving them great control over the magic of their particular field.  Rarely altruistic, the students tend to serve themselves before serving others.
• Rogue:  Usually used as scouts or spies, some rogues are nothing more than simple thieves.  Their motivations can vary wildly but most are not trusted.   Rogues prefer the same weapons as Scouts.
• Sacred Fist:  Monks who devote their body to becoming a weapon of the gods are referred to as Sacred Fists.  They see their body as a weapon not to be wasted and devote their martial arts to divine service.  Despite being looked down upon by paladins for their strange ways, Sacred Fists do perform valuable services for the communities that spring up around their monestaries.  They protect the people and their souls.
• Shadowdancer:  Called so because of their ability to dissapear into thin air, most shadowdancers work directly for the kings to ferret out traitors and spies.  Shadowdances prefer the same weapons as Rogues and Scouts but can vary depending on race.
• Shadow Thief:  Similar to rogues, shadow thieves tend to form guilds and organize themselves in major cities.  They are a thorn in every captial, feared by the merchant-class, and elusive to the city watch.  High-ranking shadow thieves tend to get discounts from merchants they "buy" from.
• Sorceror:  Sorcerors are feared because of their power and are closely watch as they are required to attend sorceror academies.  Any sorceror found without a license is thrown in jail equal to the amount of time they would have missed in school plus the number of years afterword they were operating without one.
• Spirit Shaman:  Spirit shamans are druidic in their nature, but they have a much more close connection with the soul of nature than with its elements.  They can commune with the ghosts of dead animals and with the ghosts of humanoids who respected nature.  They are feared, and most keep to the Anarock Desert or mountains to avoid persecution from the more "civilized" kingdoms.
• Stormlord:  Masters of lightning, Stormlords are typically druids or belligerant clerics who have taken an interest in the most destructive aspect of nature.  Borderline illegal, stormlords are universally feared and given a wide berth in which to do their business.  Clerics who become stormlords are typically used by the church to hunt down anyone they feel deserves death, but is too powerful to send in regular soldiers to deal with.
• Warlock:  Practicioners of demonic negative energy, they are shunned by any righteous worshiper.  They are outcasts, doomed to live among the blackguards and necromancers who plot the destruction of all that is holy.  Any warlock who is found out and does not manage to flee the church undergoes a ritual of purification, usually involving heavy torture.  Those that survive and have proven that they only wish to use their magic for the greater good are allowed to do work for either the church or Mage's Guild.  The alternative is death by burning at the stake.
• Warpriest:  Warpriets are clerics, or sometimes even druids, who do not shun the art of war, and instead embrace it to further the cause of the church.  Instead of staying towards the back of an army's ranks- healing- they are at the front providing inspiration that can turn the tide of battle.  Most of Celestia's generals are very charasmatic warpriests and some are rumored to be able to convert enemies in the middle of battle with their power and bravery.
• Weapon Master:  Like barbarians, weapon masters are fighters who concentrate on offense.  Unlike barbarians, they do not shun plate mail and rather than fall into a rage, their weapon becomes an extension of themselves, like bows for Arcane Archers.  Most weapon masters are used to train soldiers instead of being sent off to fight in the frontlines.  Some set up schools for the wealthy and nobles to train in combat.  Others go on adventures to find a worthy foe.
• Wizard:  Wizards are individuals who seek to control arcane magic through the process of learning and with knowledge.  Almost without exception wizards are sent to academies to properly learn the different schools of magic and tend to focus on only one. Generalist wizards are viewed with disdain by their peers for their supposed lack of focus.

Crafting

Potion creation, armor creation, and weapon creation will be allowed and materials will be available.  Weapon and Armor creation will be rare, however and sometimes involved non-game mechanics (RP).  "Grenade" weapons can also be made if the correct components are obtained.  They are: alchemist's fire, acid flask, choking powder, caltrops, and thunderstones.  There is one other type of grenade weapon but its components are not known outside of Aurun's military.  All of the following materials are common knowledge, although to humans and gnomes adamantine is little more than hearsay and legend.

Minerals

Iron- The most common mineral in use among humans and lesser races for weapons and armor

Cold Iron- Magically augmented iron usually found in Aurun, it is slightly harder and lighter than regular iron.  It is called such because the forging process does not involve heat.  Its hue is barely distinguishable from regular iron but can be slightly darker.  This mineral and the following ones are rarely used by monstrous/evil races due to lack of smithing knowledge.  They are usually obtained by raids.

Darksteel-  Stronger than cold iron, it is typically only used by knights and the elites of the respective armies or the very, very wealthy.  It is called darksteel because the army elites and knights usually tint their armor to a darker hue than regular iron to signify the difference from common iron.  The name is generally shortened to steel in conversation.  It weighs about the same as iron.

Alchemical silver-  A material used in weapons and armor exclusively for the church.  Only middle to high-ranking church agents and members are granted items crafted with alchemical silver.  It is resistant to undead and outsiders and equal to cold iron in strength, yet it weighs less.

Mithral-  Used by gorgo and elves, it is sometimes traded to other races.  It is as light as padded cloth, stronger than darksteel, and tends to naturally resist magic.

Adamantine- The strongest mineral known, its use outside of the elvish realm has never been heard of (rare among even elves).  The gorgo mine it, but are known to trade it only to the elves.  It is heavier than mithral but lighter than darksteel and can only be pierced by magic weapons or magical beasts.

Arboreal

Duskwood-  A common wood on the mainland used in all aspects of life.

Zalantar-  A type of wood found only on the elven isle, some seedlings were brought to the mainland by elvish colonists but they are fiercely guarded and planted in controlled groves.  The wood is stronger yet lighter and more flexible than what can be found on the mainland.
