There are NPCs in the game. They are affected by every effect you cast, and potentially everything you do. What you thought was only a whisper, might have been overheard. Did it plant a good idea or bad idea? Feel free to use these as ideas to incorporate into your rp. Don't like one of these, change it. Run an idea by staff with how you plan to do that.

Current Effects

Players may attempt to ICly change any of these laws. Some will be easy to change, others will be harder as they affect many other things. Submit a +request to Staff if you'd like to attempt to make a change.
