Before you dive on in, you should take a moment to read the help file (or scroll, as they are often called) [http://www.achaea.com/irex/helpview/help.php?q=POLICYSUMMARY HELP POLICY SUMMARY], which is a short summary of our Achaean Policies. It is not all-inclusive, and [http://www.achaea.com/irex/helpview/help.php?q=15 HELP 15] lists the full directory of policies. It should be noted that, should administrative action be taken for breaking these rules - whether it be loss of some of your [http://www.achaea.com/irex/helpview/help.php?q=ROLEPOINTS rolepoints] or permanent [http://www.achaea.com/irex/helpview/help.php?q=DIVINEPUNISHMENTS shrubbing] - ignorance is no excuse, and we give you these references for your own benefit. That said, the vast majority of our adventurers have no difficulty abiding by these policies. Armed with knowledge and a bit of luck, neither should you!
These are the Achaea Policies in summary. If you need more information on any of them, please read section 15 of the help files either on the [http://www.achaea.com/irex/helpview/help.php?id=6 website] or while logged in(HELP 15).

*[http://www.achaea.com/irex/helpview/help.php?id=366 HELP 15.4 (HELP PLAYERKILLING)] discusses killing other adventurers. It is allowed, within reason.
**[http://www.achaea.com/irex/helpview/help.php?id=551 HELP 15.4.1 (HELP PKRULES)] delves into the rules on killing other adventurers. You need a reason to attack someone.

*[http://www.achaea.com/irex/helpview/help.php?id=344 HELP 15.6 (HELP ROLEPLAYING)] lists the forms of communication on which you '''must''' practice good role play.
