MARROWBOUND KINGDOM
"vita perpetua"
THE CODE
1. The Kingdom is a family first, and comes first, above any and all else.
2. We serve Canis as much as it serves us as our home. Its catacombs are our burden to bear.
3. All stones found by the Marrowbound are to be returned to Canis before they are given life.
4. All stones found by the Marrowbound MUST be given life within the same thee cycles it was found.
5. Ranks are determined in-character and can vary based on character development and events.
INVENTORY
Stones in the Kingdom's possession, waiting to be revived. Contact Carni to claim one of MBK's stones and revive it.PM Carni to add your stone to the list, noting the following;
- Which character the stone belonged to last.
- How the stone is coming into MBK's possession. (Donation or Discovery, and who by)
- Whether you / the original player will be reclaiming the character once revived or if it's adoptable.
- Who is permitted/intended to revive the stone, whether it's anyone, a specific feature, or a specific character.
Stones added to the list will be set to revive three months after its submitted to the list. Stones not revived by that point will be donated to the cave as lost, to become reclaimable by non-mbk members. Stones listed as OPEN for revival are open to being revived by anyone. Stones listed as OPEN for players are available for adoption once revived.

Ceremonies
Dicere Vale - Funeral / Memorial Ceremony
When a Gembound is witnessed to lose its life, a prayer is spoken; not to any god, but to the fallen Gembound; "Iam cetera, novam vitam manet." The body is then sent to join the rest in the Catacombs of Canis, by the Magis, and their stone is readied for revival.
Heredis nuntiáre - Coronation of the Heir
The King chooses an official heir, before the whole Kingdom. The Heir will begin training under the King from this moment forward. An Heir doesn't have to be chosen, but for a king to die without one is shameful, as it leaves the Kingdom with the hard choice of who will lead next. An Heir must have relation to the current or previous Kings, either by blood or by bond.
Procedures
Canis Gate; Trespassing and Gate Keeping.
At some point, all Virtus will be assigned the daily task of Gate Keeping. They're to remain alert and at the entrance to Canis, protecting it from trespassers; as Canis is not a passageway to other caves, we of the Kingdom have no reason not to guard our home and protect it and its people.
OOC: Anyone of High Rank or Virtus Rank specifically may intercept any new arrivals to Canis. Trespassings are met with respectful decline; Canis and its crypts are not a tourist attraction. Those seeking to pay homage to the dead, join the kingdom's ranks or those seeking sanctuary are welcomed, but escorted until ranked or their departure from Canis, to ensure the protection of the Kingdom, its culture, its rites and its people.
Retrievals; When the Magis bring home the dead.
Periodically, Magis are escorted or permitted to leave Canis in order to search for the lost deceased in the caves. They bring home at least the stone, to keep it safe, or else the entire body if possible; otherwise, a team of Virtus and other volunteers will be sent out to retrieve the fallen brother or sister and return them to their rest in the Canis Crypts.
