Lands

- All of the land seen on the map is available to be claimed, named, lived in, and ran as chosen by their occupants (unless otherwise stated)

- Characters can choose to claim a land if they'd like to and subsequently name it and choose how to use it.

- A land can be used simply as herd land, a free place for their herd to roam in relative peace, or it can be made into a city or empire with its own government

- Free lands are available on a first-come, first-served basis; after that, lands can be overtaken through war, or exchanged through agreements, or surrendered

- Any character or player that is found inactive is subject to lose their land, titles/positions, etc. if others are wanting them

- As a result, keep in mind that if you gain something in the game, going inactive may result in losing it!

- We encourage players to work out story ideas and plots OOC so that you can collaborate creatively. You never know when someone will be willing to exchange something they have (a land, for example) for something of yours they want (money, items, art, etc.)

- If all else fails, however, a character can challenge another to try and fight for the desired land/etc. Read more about it under Challenges
