Welcome to Blood & Bone! This is our guidebook filled with information about the site, both OOC and IC, and lore that is relevant to creating a character and writing onsite. While we recommend you read everything the guidebook contains, we have separated the different sections into mandatory and optional readings. Mandatory readings are important to read before you even make your first account, while everything else can be read and absorbed later to better help with integrating yourself into the site.

If you have a question or concern about anything, please don't be afraid to ask a staff member!

Mandatory Reading

01 | About Us	The premise of the site can be found here, as well as some OOC information that will help you with site use. This includes images and graphics, IC location ratings, thread prefixes, and more!
02 | Regulations	Both OOC and IC rules that are important to remember and follow when writing on the site, as well as interacting in our Discord. Registering an account implies you agree to these rules.

04 | Game World	An overview of the IC game world, including climate, culture, society, technology, and more. This is important to read to better help you understand how your character would fit in.

Optional Reading
