Code of Conduct
This Code of Conduct provides a basic standard for our kindred to
uphold in their daily lives. When justice matters arise within
our family, our Code of Conduct and Family Bylaws are used to
determine the crime and appropriate punishment.
Honor the kingdom and her leadership.
We should uphold the laws of, and show respect toward, the
kingdom we are in at any given time, whether at home in Buya or
in a neighboring land. Respect should be shown toward kingdom
leaders at all times, in all places.
Honor the family and her leadership.
We should adhere to the Code of Conduct and Family Bylaws
established by our family leaders. Respect should be shown toward
our fellow kindred without regard to gender, path, subpath or
insight.
Honor the rights of all citizens.
No kindred should jeopardize the rights of any Nexus citizen in
any way, including but not limited to: harassment, theft, misuse
of spells, misuse of authority, and karma thievery or slavery.
