As the Divine Circle grants guardianship over all life within the Misty Realms, so is all life within the Misty Realms given guardianship over the Inner Lands. Upon registering, each creature is charged with keeping themselves bound to the Mandates of Guardianship—thus keeping peace and balance within the Misty Realms.

Mandate of Equality: All creatures which pass into the Misty Realms are equals in the eyes and spirit of the Divine Circle, and should be treated with the respect that the Divine Circle accords them. Each creature comes to the Misty Realms with preset notions, ideals, and views on the world around them. We ask that each creature respect the notions, ideals, and views of others, thus allowing them to express their innermost thoughts freely and without condemnation. However, if any creature feels that another has overstepped the boundaries of free thinking and offered up words that are of a non-peaceful nature, please contact the High Enchantress immediately so that peace may spring forth from the transgression. For more information on the Mandate of Equality, please view Thy Creed of Brethren from Thy Book of Choice.

Mandate of Artistry: Each creature which passes through the Misty Realms comes with naturally accorded gifts of the eye, the mind, the senses, and the heart-yet these gifts take on unique and various forms. Each creature posts their work within the Galleries with great care and an open heart to share their passion with the world. The Divine Circle thus grants great freedom to the Author, Artist, Poet, and Musician in the nature of their works. However, should one of our great Creationists post any works of a more delicate nature (R-Rating or above), we ask that the phrase [SENSITIVE NATURE] be added into the title of the work, and that the work is done in a tasteful manner. More information can be found on this in Thy Creed of Nature from Thy Book of Choice. If the Divine Circle feels the work is upsetting the balance of the elements, they will exercise their freedom to remove the offending work and restore the balance once more.

Mandate of Creatures: As each creature is unique in body, mind, and spirit, so shall it be among the Misty Realms. Each user is only allowed one (1) account for the forum area. If there are multiple users in your household, please notify the High Enchantress so that she may notate it accordingly. If a user is found to have more than one account, he/she will have the option of choosing which account gets deleted. More information on this can be found in Thy Creed of the Accounts from Thy Book of Choice.

Mandate of Transgressions: Each creature which enters into the Misty Realms is innocent and pure in the eyes of the Divine Circle. At times that purity can become slightly discolored as one may accidentally say or do something to upset another user. In a case such as this, all is brought to the attentions of the High Enchantress who can re-establish the balance. However, at times there becomes such a disturbance as cannot be re-balanced, even with the aid of all. This can be attributed to (but is not confined to) postings of pornography, hate, flaming, real-estate adverts, and severe profanity. If a transgression is taken to this level, or if the transgressor is found to be a pre-blacklisted account (Spider/Spammer), the High Enchantress will ban the transgressor, their account, and their IP address for all eternity. More information on transgressions can be found in Thy Creed of Naughtiness and Thy Creed of the Profane from Thy Book of Choice.

Mandate of Copyrights: As each creature to come to the Misty Realms is blessed with unique gifts and talents, they also hold within them the gift of respect. Each creature's works within the Misty Realms falls under the Copyright Laws set down by the great masters of all universes, and therefore no works shall be taken from the Misty Realms to the Outer Lands without the expressed, written permission of the Author, Artist, Musician, or Poet. The same proceeds for bringing works from the Outer Lands into the Misty Realms. Claiming another's work as your own, or posting another's work without granting the appropriate credit is expressly forbidden and will not be tolerated. More information on copyrights can be found in Thy Creed of Destruction & Doom from Thy Book of Choice.
