Your Castle is your GAMING life and your King and KORT is the Law.

As such, I declare these things to be forbidden by SOK’s Law: to belittle or harass, provoke, incite, or bait, for any reason, your fellow members or any individuals who may be present. We must mesh our collective strengths and weaknesses; promote exchanges of ideas and experiences, to prevail in our purpose, our shared goals, and in defense of the realm.

Article IX: "Above all, be true to your fellow citizens, their feelings, their motivations, their interactions with others in the realm.
