The above buttons are FOIC/SPOILERS! If you would prefer to RP blind, or are concerned with your ability to refrain from OOC info bleed, you are not required to read more than this extended rules page. We believe consent comes fully informed, so most, if not all, of the secrets of TLC will be available on this site.

Pre-Register Here! As of May 2nd, we have 9/10 tiered characters

ㅤExtended Rulesㅤ

ㅤOut of Characterㅤ

  • ㅤiㅤㅤwe love a petty character. we do not so much enjoy petty players. if there is unpleasantness between you and another player, please bring it to the support team so we can find an amicable way forward for all parties.

  • ㅤiiㅤㅤif a new writer is about to enter /say range of a delicate scene, we ask that they be warned of any potentially triggering topics present.

  • ㅤiiiㅤㅤthere will be topics which are absolutely not allowed in public spaces. consult the trigger list in our discord's server guide. They must be contained to private rooms and/or party/tell channels.

  • ㅤivㅤㅤthe roses are not gold.

  • ㅤvㅤㅤscheduled events (such as sermons, trials by combat, or congregant meetings) are not the time for unplotted spotlight stealing. if a significant, unsanctioned disruption occurs, such as jumping on stage during a sermon or summoning the temple knights to a trial, blacklists and retcons may need to be incurred.

  • ㅤviㅤㅤtlc has no activity check, in or out of character. just be aware that extended absences may leave weirdly shaped story gaps around your character - but you will always be welcome back.

ㅤIn Characterㅤ

  • ㅤiㅤㅤAny trials called against congregants beyond the protection of Father Dieucache are to be championed by Ganenkh.

  • ㅤiiㅤㅤto answer a sanctioned call to trial is your sacred duty - but to walk willingly to a senseless death renders one unworthy of halone's halls.

  • ㅤiiiㅤㅤto disrespect your fellows is to disrespect the congregation, as we are all of one mind.

  • ㅤivㅤㅤto care for your fellows is to care for yourself, as we are all of one body.

  • ㅤvㅤㅤto better your fellows is to better us all, as we are all of one soul.

ㅤChapel Groundsㅤ

  • ㅤiㅤㅤchapel grounds constitute the interior of plots 1, 2, 5, and 7 in ward 8. all listed gardens have only half of the numerical (dis)advantages. beyond the gates, walls, or hedges, 'chapel grounds' no longer apply.

  • ㅤiiㅤㅤwhile on chapel grounds, ringbearers and higher will have a flat numerical advantage (or disadvantage) on all /random rolls. Numbers for tiered members are listed here. If applicable accessory is not equipped/glamoured, the (dis)advantage does not apply.

  • ㅤiiiㅤㅤAsha and Ganenkh have an advantage of >>450<<. fathers dieucache have an advantage of >>650<<. these numbers are subject to rebalancing.

  • ㅤivㅤㅤany broken rules on chapel grounds, including by visitors, seem to find their way to the core clergy within a matter of hours. please report any infractions in the discord. any unsanctioned violence in plot 2 is immediately quashed by ganenkh.

  • ㅤvㅤㅤif anything happens on chapel grounds that you would like the core clergy to know about (and use for plotting!) please report it in the discord.

  • ㅤviㅤㅤif chapel grounds (dis)advantage affects a /random ruling, we encourage participants to experience the flagstones shifting, an uncanny glint of light, a creak of floorboards, etc.

  • ㅤloreㅤㅤthe chapel itself is a living, simply sentient entity, enchanted brick by brick through the amdapori art of geovivomancy by father dieucache. to bear the mark of the lost congregation is to tell the cathedral that one is favored. it will respond in kind.

  • ㅤmarksㅤㅤthe rings of the congregation link their bearers to the cathedral of kain. the cost is subtle: a slow, steady drain of aether, easily replenished. surely so meager a price is worth the merits offered in return - not that the bearers are told of any such price, nor often experience so gentle a draw on what they can so readily replenish.

The Cathedral of Kain has much to offer, even to those who merely pass through their doors. There is far, far more to be had, however, for so innocent and meager a price. With an oath of self betterment comes a beautiful ring and a chorus of opening doors. A bed. Baths. Food abundant. Family. Meaning. Even the chapel seems to embrace ringbearers as extensions of itself. Can mutual loyalty and loving connection truly be considered a cost?Wearing one of the Cathedral of Kain's marks connects your character to the Aetherhold. They will suffer a slow, extremely subtle drain of aether which, if they aren't too terribly sickly, will be all but imperceptible.

  • ear of kain

  • +/- 100

  • must perform a task for the benefit of the cathedral of kain.

  • report to r'anii nuhn.

  • blessed earrings*

  • astral earrings*

  • aetheryte earring

  • menphina's earring

When grace runs its course to gratitude, many of the congregation wish to know of more ways to benefit the family they are now part of. To that end, they seek passage to become an Ear of Kain. With another seeker guided to the church by their hand, they are permitted to find a task or group which suits their abilities. Some become healers of the sick. Some take up arms to defend those weaker than themselves. Some till soil, preen feathers, or repair masonry. No matter the task, common or esoteric, an Ear of Kain serves their congregation joyously, as it has served them in turn.Though it is an unspoken rule, Ears are expected to report on anything strange or 'out of sorts' about the congregation. They are the ear upon the pulse of the ringbearers as for the will of Kain.

  • hand of kain

  • +/- 170

  • guided access to aetherhold.

  • must have won a trial by combat.**

  • must reside on chapel grounds.

  • boarskin ringbands of XXX

  • palm bracelets of xxx

It is when a seeker proves themself upon the grounds of combat that they may take the title of 'Kainite.' The Fury wishes to see Her children strengthened and capable - how miserable She must be to see the Trials beyond, the senseless slaughter which makes mockery of honor and faith. As a Hand, Kainites extend their duties and delegations. Greater arms, finer tools, and the division of tasks to Ears and Ringbearers are the call of such Kainites. Often they take apprentices and disciples of their own, acting as true extentions of Kain and the Fury's grace.Kainites are permitted knowledge of Aetherhold. They may have a seat at debates and decisive meetings, may speak their piece freely, but may not necessarily be permitted a vote. When a Trial by Combat is called, it is near always a Hand which serves as consecrator and overseer.

  • voice of kain

  • +/- 250

  • free access to aetherhold.

  • must have personal referral from core clergy.

  • must reside on chapel grounds.

  • report to asha marlette.

  • blessed choker*

  • astral choker*

  • koppranickel necklace of xxx

  • diadochos choker of xxx

There is no higher honor in the Cathedral of Kain than to be named a Voice. Those of the Voice speak, record, and embody the will of the Fury and the Saint. Many Voices of Kain take to the pulpit for auxiliary prayers and sermons. Many lead the congregation to the tasks most in need or befitting their strengths. Mind, body, and soul have been tested, and all found blessed in the eyes of the Fury. By this blessing, so too is the lost congregation made stronger. We are all of one mind. We are all of one body. We are all of one soul.These Kainites are the embodiment of the Cathedral of Kain. It is no light position to hold. Their votes may change the course of the congregation, for good or ill, and their very presence shines divinity upon the masses. Voices are encouraged to hold mass, perform holy rites, and serve as divine counsel.

**If your character/you have no one they can invite, we encourage you to pair up with new arrivals to the group to be their guide, and/or to invent a minor NPC to add to the ranks of the church.***Sometimes, RNG is rude. Most of the time, in our experience. If you reach a point where you don't want to leave your character's promotion up to the dice, or if you have no interest in combat RP, let IC Support know and we'll arrange a guaranteed progression through Ganenkh or another Hand.

*These items are available for free and in limited supply. Contact the core clergy for provision. Other options are suggestions based on the following (very loose) parameters.

  • golden metal elements

  • white crystal/stone

  • light blue crystal/stone

  • blue crystal/stone

  • expensive-looking make

  • crystal color that matches your character's aetheric type

ㅤTrial by Combat.ㅤ

  • ㅤtimeㅤ

  • ㅤdayㅤ

  • ㅤward 8, plot 7, upper levelㅤ

ㅤHalone,ㅤㅤpatron deity of Ishgard, is not known as The Fury for nothing. Like the Holy See as a whole, The Cathedral of Kain sanctions trials by combat privatized for its congregants - after all, who of the Brume would be able to fairly stand against a seasoned Temple Knight, and who of the clergy would weather the indignation of the lower classes? By containing their trials within the walls and ranks of the Cathedral, seekers are better able to earn Halone's favor in their plights.The fact that these trials also prepare untrained Brumelings for armed and unarmed combat in a controlled environment is, we assure you, completely coincidental and irrelevant.

ㅤIn Character.ㅤ

  • ㅤiㅤㅤTrials by Combat are to be called when conflicts between congregants cannot otherwise be settled.

  • ㅤiiㅤㅤTrials are to be consecrated by one or more overseers and carried out at sanctioned times (XXXXXXXXX) and witnessed in the Cathedral of Kain's Proving Grounds (XXXXXXXXXX).

  • ㅤiiiㅤㅤMock Trials may be called by those who simply wish to hone their skills against their peers, and are blessed by The Fury and her clergy.

  • ㅤivㅤㅤrefusing a call to trial is a blasphemous offense. those who neglect their duty to halone and the cathedral of kain are deemed the offending party and immediately sentenced to repentance befitting the crime by the overseeing kainite(s).

  • ㅤvㅤㅤconsecrated trials are conducted until the overseeing kainite(s) call the match, or until a party is knocked unconscious.

  • ㅤviㅤㅤintentional maiming and lethality are not permitted in consecrated trials.

  • ㅤviiㅤㅤrepeat trials will not be permitted - the calling of a trial is final, and the matter is judged.

  • ㅤviiiㅤㅤthe fury herself will judge those who profane the sanctity of a trial through cheating, or through their use to assail an innocent.

❝ㅤ... a land that after a thousand years of war had forgotten what it meant to be at peace.❞
- Memoirs of Count Edmont de Fortemps.

Out of Character.

  • ㅤiㅤㅤtrials by combat will be run with modified grindstone rules.

  • ㅤiiㅤㅤall rolls, including initiative, during a trial by combat are subject to chapel grounds rules. totals are determined after (dis)advantage is added.

  • ㅤiiiㅤㅤfighters begin by rolling /random to determine initiative. higher total will attack first.

  • ㅤivㅤㅤfirst attacker will post their emote in the /yell channel, stating what their character does and their intention to strike. both parties will once again roll /random. if the attacker rolls higher, the attack hits. if the defender rolls higher, it is parried, dodged, or otherwise defended against.

  • ㅤvㅤㅤthe roles then reverse. the second fighter will emote the result of the attack, including any damage it does, and return fire in the /yell channel. both parties will roll /random, and the cycle continues.

  • ㅤviㅤㅤtrials will be called by the overseer at three strikes, or the loser may chose to be knocked unconscious. the loser will be permitted one final emote in the /yell channel before fighters leave or are removed from the arena.

  • ㅤviiㅤㅤtrials will be called if they have not concluded 25 minutes after initiative has been rolled. the winner will be determined by overseer(s) on basis of points and delays caused to prevent the possible cheat of an early lead.

  • ㅤviiiㅤㅤcharacters are absolutely allowed to bemoan the outcome of a trial by combat - however, any interference in a trial or the calling of one will be put to a swift and likely violent end by the overseer(s).

proving grounds

  • plot 7.

  • upper floor.

Trials by Combat must be held in a sanctioned arena. Luckily, the Cathedral of Kain has one tucked away for its private use. Outfitted with a small infirmary, along with space for all overseers, observers, and trialgoers, the Proving Grounds are as stunning as they are bloodied.

  • secret sit: across edge of top loft.

  • the yellow crystal keeps teleporting.

ㅤkainite loungeㅤ

  • plot 7.

  • middle floor.

While the public areas of the Cathedral of Kain are comfortable enough in their own right, the private lounge reserved for Kainites boasts a far more luxurious and intimate atmosphere. Through this lounge, residents may access their rooms, if they have furnished one.

  • secret sit: marble alcove by window.

  • secret "door": hannish bookshelf

ㅤaetherholdㅤ

  • plot 7.

  • lower floor.

The thrumming, tucked away heart of the Cathedral of Kain. Off limits to all but Hands and Voices, the Aetherhold is where siphoned aether is stored. Meetings of the clergy are held here, along with Fathers' Dieucache more sensitive library, gathered over 1.5 millennia.

  • this floor cost nearly as much as the house itself. treasure it. please.

clergy residence

  • plot 1 + ingleside.

  • lower floor + 1-1.

Beneath the public office of Fathers Dieucache is where the majority of the core clergy reside. Asha and Ganenkh were raised from their youth here, and the estate has been "passed down for generations" just the same as the Cathedral of Kain. Occasional visitors are permitted for meals.

  • trick bookshelf in main bedroom.

  • extra door leads to ingleside room.

ㅤentryㅤ

  • alms''box mannequin is functional tip jar.

  • the centerpiece took 2 hours to troubleshoot.

ㅤchapelㅤ

  • secret sit: stage edge center.

  • shelves on back wall behind rose trellis lead to rafters.

ㅤlibraryㅤ

  • hidden "basement access" behind angled shelf.

  • we debated trick shelf, but decided to keep it discrete.

ㅤcommonsㅤ

  • secret sit: right of southern kitchen stovetop.

  • you do not see the glitching table seams. trust.

ㅤsunroomㅤ

  • secret sit: round wooden loft near window.

  • one of the hanging lights teleports at random.

ㅤgarden bㅤ

  • hidden garden patch to left of door.

  • the fountain under the loft is four items total.

ㅤdormitoryㅤ

  • all twelve bunks are accessible and functional.

  • jump on second bunk level to access third.

ㅤschoolroomㅤ

  • secret sit: low bookshelf center under maps.

  • door at top of stairs leads to r'anii's fc room.

ㅤpersonalityㅤㅤ"Vauquelin Dieucache," as he is called this generation, has never been much of one for pretense. There are necessary lies, necessary horrors, necessary sins, (he has lived them all) but beyond them, there is little to be gained from a constant masquerade. He knows full well the cost of his personal atrocities, and each weighing was done deliberately. Not once has he come to regret his choices. For his willingness to learn what lies beyond rigidity and trite moralism, he has come to believe that he, and very nearly he alone, has the experience and the right to direct all in his purview. Life. Death. Betrayal. Torture. Loyalty. Divinity. Pawns on a board guided by his practiced hand.

sews vents in his tassets to hide his tail ✣ refers to his horns as "trophies" ✣ attempts to pass as elezen ✣ excellent at triple triad

  • ㅤeyesㅤㅤl gold, r silver.

  • ㅤhairㅤㅤblack, orange ends.

  • ㅤscarsㅤㅤmany.

ㅤpersonalityㅤㅤHad he any memory of the Steppe, perhaps Ganenkh would be proud of the violence which sings in his veins. Or ashamed, as the case happens to be. It is, instead, a foundation from which he has flourished. Nearly every deciding moment in his life has been swathed in blood and bruises. In pain. Thus, its absence is uncomfortable. Whether doling it out or receiving it from someone he deems worthy, Gan is happiest when violence surrounds him. Better the batterment of the body than too long with thirst unsated.

ㅤbiographyㅤㅤIt was after Ganenkh's second assault at the hands of the Ishgardian faithful that he vowed never to show who and what he truly was to those who did not already know. The boy had grown restless after nearly a turn of the sun separated from his mentor, cousin, and a new comrade in arms named Fray. He had not forgotten the dangers of existing as an Au Ra in the bastion of Halonic faith - how could he ever hope to - but hubris and pride had begun to make their homes in his breast.Just a trip to the Pillars, he thought, and perhaps a few things purchased from the Crozier as mementos to the fact that his fathers were being overzealous in their care. Instead, the boy of fifteen summers returned battered and bruised, falling silent for moons as he had when he was first spared in the colds of Coerthas.Never again did Ganenkh use his name or show his face beyond the safety of his family's walls. Full helms, sewn tassets to hide his tail, and an assurance that his horns are but Dravanian trophies are the way of his life. If being a Xaela is truly so abominable, then perhaps "Ganioul" will be a safer name to bear.
