We’re a dark medieval/fantasy sim. Dark in the sense that we allow, and welcome, adult themes. Sex, violence, politics, intrigue; they’re what make the Ericourt’s world turn, and we invite you to take part in that experience with us.
You've probably noticed that the set is small, and is enclosed in a skybox. This is on purpose! Our set is one of the public quarters in the Ericourt. We feel this close-spaced environment encourages players to mingle, and prevents people from hiding out in personal spaces. You'll also notice that the doors that lead to rooms are open, and the ones that are closed are simply dummy doors. Most of these doors will eventually lead to other rooms, as we open them when they are requested/needed.
We’re pararoleplayers, and that is something we encourage heavily. Novella style posts are not necessary (however, welcome!), but we do ask that your posts maintain a length of at least four to five, well crafted, sentences.
We won’t bother you with the generally understood rules of roleplay, but we do want to point out a few things that may be not so common:

We won’t bother you with the generally understood rules of roleplay, but we do want to point out a few things that may be not so common:
- Roleplay in turns. Once you type your reply, wait for all others in the scene with you to post before you post again. This is slow, we know, but it allows for a fair scene, and that’s most important.
- No children. At all.
- Humans only for the time being.
- If you’re roleplaying in the Ericourt then you must do so in local chat; this is a public space, so you must give others the chance to overhear whatever it is you’re speaking about/doing. That being said, the person who is eavesdropping, must be posting as well in order for them to obtain that information IC.
- Your character can, and may, die here. Your IC actions have IC consequences. If your character is planning on committing treason, and is caught, they will likely be put to death. This applies to all characters, even those who hold lead roles in houses. Play carefully; this game is a dangerous one.
- Our king is an NPC, this allows for more fluid power change in favor of one house or another from week to week. If you or someone else has done something you think the king may approve/disapprove of, send an admin an IC letter (a notecard), and it may change the general airs of the court.
- In order to join us, you must fill out a brief character card. This helps us keep tabs on who belongs in which house, and how many people we have enjoying our intrigue-laden romp.
