City Rules


  • Code of decency

    • Citizens representing Lochlainn are asked to refrain from things like griefing, corpsecamping, ninjalooting, killstealing etc.
    • Even though Lochlainn is not focused on roleplaying, all citizens should respect players that do roleplay their characters.
    • The city's official language is english. This means that the Council meetings, elections and votings will all be held in english. Also all the rules and regulations are issued in english.


  • Citizen rights

    • Citizens have free access to crafting halls provided by the city.
    • Every citizen has the right to build one or more houses/shops in Lochlainn. The exact spots will be assigned by a Counselor (Architect).
    • Citizens can chose the City Council in the elections every couple of months.
    • In the so called 'Votings', every citizen can vote on specific issues presented by the City Council.
    • Every Archetype has a spokesman in the City Council. Citizens can deposit issues and concerns with the Counselor representing their Archetype (Sellsword for Soldiers, Blackguard for Rogues, Sorceror for Mages and Vicar for Priests). In addition, there is a spokesman for the Crafter prestige class (Merchant).
    • Every citizen can run for City Council positions in the elections.
    • Citizens can chose to leave Lochlainn (and the guild) freely.


  • Citizen duties

    • Every citizen has to follow the City Rules (described here).
    • A "Call of Duty" issued by the City Council must be followed by every citizen matching the assigned description (e.g. a "Call to Arms" for Soldiers and Rogues must be followed by every citizen of those archetypes). Omission to a "Call of Duty" might lead to banishment from the city (and the guild).
    • Citizens must obey the rules and regulations issued by the City Council.


  • Handling of Guild vs Guild issues

    • The banner of Lochlainn will only be carried to the Border Kingdom with approval of the City Council.
    • The Council will assign the rank of General to the leader of an official PvP army hailing from Lochlainn. The General will lead that army and will only report to the Council.
    • No citizen will ever be forced to join a PvP army. You only enlist by free will.
    • Citizens are allowed to raise mercenary troops to serve under another banner than the one of Lochlainn.
    • If different mercenary troops hailing from Lochlainn should wind up serving rival masters and have to fight each other on the battlefields of the Border Kingdom, no such strife will be taken into Lochlainn. Thus is the code of the mercenary not to bring battle against his fellow citizen within the walls we all call home.
    • Building of a Battle Keep in the name of Lochlainn can only be done by the approval of the City Council.

  • Taxes

    • Citizens - including members of the City Council - will have to pay taxes (details to be revealed soon). If the taxes can/will not be payed, the City Council reserves the right to ban a citizen form the city (and guild). But the Council always will have an open ear for citizens that should have problems paying the moderate taxes and will be willing to find solutions.
