THE LAWS OF THE HOUSE
The Rules
Money buys entry. Loyalty buys rank. Read once. They will not bend for you.
The Toll
Entry is bought, never given. The Toll is the greater of $69 or one percent of the crown brand's paid bid, rounded up. The Toll pays for a seat on the Board and one spin of the Wheel. Return to pay again and the House tops up your bid and resets your meter to one hundred.
The Wheel
One spin deals one of ninety-nine decrees, drawn uniform by a seed kept in the House and witnessed by all. A sentence stands for twenty-four hours. When it expires, the House redeals without asking. To spin is to Tempt Fate. There is no re-roll, only the next deal.
The Meter
Rank is your paid bid multiplied by your loyalty meter. Proofs laid by the Faithful raise it: cheap deeds grant +3, solid +6, legendary +12, unhinged +25. Loyalty rot drains 15 percent each day. The meter is clamped between five and one hundred twenty-five.
The Wall of Proof
The Faithful testify. Each proof carries its handle, its link, its testimony. The public may bestow HONOR or cast FLAG upon any proof; three flags and it hangs marked as disputed before all. The House watches both.
The Crown
Highest score wears the crown and sets the price of the Toll. When the crown changes heads, the flip is announced to everyone present. Crowns are rented, never owned.
