RULES & REGULATIONS OF THE SCHOOL

No Weapons (the only times pupils use weapons are during training sessions, although many of the Darks carry them). The consequence for breaking this rule is: 30 lashes, no food each day for a week. You will also be placed in the dungeon for the duration of the week. Upon which time you will have to fight your way out (meaning you have to fight the jailer to get out (he has no abilities but is generally a big brute well versed in the ways of the sword) You have no weapons.) If you cannot fight your way out you will continue to try each day with out any food until you make it.... or die trying.

No leaving your bed after curfew (although darkmessagers are the exception). Consequence is: 30 lashes on the bare back then you are forced into a fight against at least 5 other students. If you lose then you get 30 more lashes.

There was a rule that said that you couldn't enter other quadrants but that rule isn't really followed because the pupils have been brainwashed into thinking that students from other quadrants are out to steal their secrets and if you get caught you chances of survival are slim. If a Dark_____ catches you then they will “feed” you to the pupils of the other quadrant.

Disrespecting the Dark______. Consequence: basically what every they feel like doing to you.

Being late to class. Consequences: Detention (which is standing on your feet facing the back wall for the duration of the class. During which the teacher will periodically check your reflexes by trying to hit you with any thing from a stick to a thrown book. However if you turn you head away from the wall in an attempt to block the object then it's 30 lashes on your bare back.)

School fights are actually encouraged! To the death…

This school is very much a survival of the fittest. They don’t care if you die training. If you did, then you just weren’t good enough. Sink or Swim.... Live or die...
