 * Use self-conscience. Use common sense.
 * Very swearing is permitted, however cannot be directed at any person or people group. But use swearing as a last resort. Remember, swearing shows your intellectual status.
 * Slander of other people and players is expressly forbidden. You wouldn't like it if other people slung insults at you, so don't do it to them.
 * Spamming is not permitted, doing so shall result in a mute. Private message spamming is allowed, as long as it is not used to irritate or provoke someone, and both players are fine with it.
 * Griefing, is under no circumstances acceptable and offenders shall be banned. Raiding is acceptable in wartime, but frowned upon.
 * X-ray texture packs and X-ray mods are forbidden.
 * The terms of battle are decided by the leaders of the opposing sides. If neither side can agree, it may be appealed to a neutral third party.

 * While not a rule it's advised you never interrupt Morghash during storytime.
 * To use the More Player Models 2, first download and install it like you would do normally with any mod. After you join the server, you will find that everything around you is dark. To fix this problem, press F12, and turn Point of View on the bottom right corner to No. 
 * =========Rules for Builders:=========
 * All the above rules apply.
 * Using Gamemode Creative to get items that are not used for buildings is strictly forbidden. The cheater will be dealt with as a hacker, but instead of getting banned, will loose their rank and be put on the Wall of Shame.

 * Neither buffing, nor nerfing is allowed. This will be dealt as a cheat.
 * =========Rules for Moderators and Administrators=========

 * If you hold a grudge against someone that is online, do not in any way "troll" the player. That is just corruption right there.
 * If you are unsure if what someone is doing is against the rules, don't immediately ban him/her. Instead, ask the Owner, Co-Owner, or someone with a higher rank if what he/she did is fine. The senior staff will deal with it.

Why join this server?
The answer to this is simple. We provide our players with many unique abilities and features, as a result of the use of several plugins. And most importantly, our server has the one and only Quests.

We also currently have installed, several other features, which allow you to add powerful properties and effects to items, which can be highly useful as part of our Role-play and Battle-events. Alongside, this we also support the usage of various unique enchantments which allow several players to access several spectacular abilities.

Despite these redeeming features, we also strive to create a positive environment and atmosphere for all players making use of the server. Our staff are constantly working to improve the experience and are on hand if you should experience any issues, relating to anything from Technical complications to Role-play, they shall be glad to assist you in whatever manner possible.

Battles:

 * The maximum number of units the player may hire is thirty, Trolls and Huorns are counted as three.


 * The specific rules of the particular conflict, are decided by the rules of the two opposing groups.


 * A member of staff must oversee the event, each opposing side must start one-thousand blocks away from their opponents.


 * After all enemies are slain, the battle is believed to be concluded.


 * If you are not the victors of a battle, you may not resume any other attacks until a further fifteen minutes prior to the previous battle.


 * Surprise attacks are permitted, however only if the owner of the build is present, and is currently within their fortress. All attacks must be declared, however in the case of surprise attacks, attacks be declared once within bowshot.


 * Fly is not permitted for use in any conflicts, and breaching this rule shall result in a temp-ban.


 * Ambushes do not have to be declared, but ambushing fortresses and/or places of residences is not permitted; rather, the ambushed party must be at least five hundred blocks away from the extreme edges of their home or city for it to count as an ambush.

Sieges:

 * There are two types of Sieges, War Sieges and normal Sieges. The differences are as follows: In War Sieges, the two factions must be at war, and the build being contested is kept; in a normal siege, the two factions do not necessarily have to be at war, and the build is retained by the defenders(albeit with some form of equal-value reparations to the attackers).
 * In a war siege, the attackers must give the defenders twenty minutes to prepare. Potions and brews are generally frowned upon, but the terms are decided upon by both parties. If terms cannot be reached, a neutral third party or staff can be appealed to.
 * In a normal siege, there are no set rules on the amount of time given, other than it must be at least five minutes. As above, terms may be decided or appealed if they cannot come to agreement.
 * In a war siege, the defenders do not have to leave any defense open or unbarricaded, save one. It is the duty of the attackers to either find a way in or force the defenders out.
 * In a normal siege, all gates and doors must be left open, unless the attackers may still be able to reach you.
 * In all sieges, attackers may use siege ladders(traditional or otherwise) to scale walls or fortifications if able, or if decided upon before battle commences.
 * If an attacker logs out for any reason and does not return for at least ten minutes during either type of siege, that attacker is considered to have been killed and may not participate further.
 * The use of explosives is highly frowned upon, but may be used if the owners of the build agree.
 * Wanton destruction of builds during a siege, or destruction using explosives or otherwise in a purpose not intended for exposing the defenders, is counted as griefing and will be dealt with appropriately.
 * Defenders trapping, mining, and otherwise protecting their bases through the use of explosives is allowed.

Quest Rules
Quests, unlike the mod's mini-quests, are run by a player, built by a player, and regulated by a player. Anyone can make quests, however it tends to be easier with creative mode. Below are the rules for Quests.
 * Listen to the rules. If the Questmaster says that all Mithril weapons are banned, and you didn't listen, then that might cause a ban to Quests.
 * Gamemode Creative and Fly are not allowed in Quests (with an exception of the Questmaster).
 * Try not to break any blocks. If you need to hijack into a dungeon to save your friend, do not just dig the dirt and get in. There always is a method other than that. Doing this may cause a ban from Quests.
 * Do not take weapons from weapon racks. Really! Have some manners! You didn't make those weapons, so put them down. (Unless a Questmaster says this is fine).
 * If the Questmaker tells you not to pass a certain barrier, DO NOT pass the barrier!

WARNING: This server uses a ton of custom lore.
So, this server is incredibly different from all the others out there. It has its own gods, its own important roles. But that is where it shines. This server is not bound by lore, and so has the freedom to do all that it wants with it. It uses what history has happened, and takes place during the end of the third age. Mordor has not fallen, though Sauron has. Really depends on the custom lore, and what happens. That's the point of it. But to truly know what it is like, I suggest joining the server to find out!

Here is a pantheon of the current gods:

Morghash: Lord of Souls and all things evil basically. If you're anyone, you pay attention to this god.

Lithar: Lord of Light and all things good. Loves the High Elves and people like them. Same as above.

Junar: Lord of Jungles, likes the Wood Elves and the Tauredain. Not as powerful as Morghash or Lithar.

Factions and Groups
The server introduces several factions, which you may join including not yet implemented groups such as ''Easterlings. ''Factions are ruled by certain individuals, who serve as the ruler of the Faction and its associated lands. Players may apply to become the ruler of a faction by doing the following.

To achieve the status of ruler-ship over a faction, one must firstly obtain three hundred (300) or above positive alignment with their desired faction. Owner and Co-Owner decide amount of required alignment. the Once this has been completed, individuals may apply for assessment by an Administrator. These trials consist mainly of the testing of various skills including anything from combat to lore. If one passes these trials, they are given the title King, Queen, Prime Minister, etc. of their desired faction, and also the right to rule over their factions associated lands. The table below shows the leaders of various factions.
