Hi folks,

We've had a couple of questions come up recently on the subject of family / heritage roleplay, and I would like to clarify the following:

- Wearing the title of a noble house such as those of Djeir is allowed, with some caveats:

* Unless officially sanctioned, no one is obligated to recognise or accept this claim, and others may dispute it in character if they wish.

* This includes admin-driven roleplay: NPCs or other admin-driven characters are very likely to dispute these claims if they are raised in an appropriate in character context.

* Claiming to be a direct descendant of a royal line or claims of other disprovable heritage are not appropriate.

- It is never appropriate to have multiple characters as part of the same family.

* Referring to other characters as family members, or involving them in another character's roleplay at all is in breach of HELP SECONDS.

* HELP SECONDS has been updated to reflect this.

Feel free to reach out if you have any questions about this!
