While there is tons of lore in Ephilion here are some of the more common pieces or pieces that you'll need to know. World Lore Any human that enters Ephilion doesn't really stand much of a chance. Either they'll be turned into one of the other species, eaten, or they'll somehow make it.. but not really. The strong magic that swirls through Ephilion, while preventing them from aging, also slowly drives humans mad. It doesn't take too long before their minds are a jumbled up mess and only by returning to the mortal world can they regain their sanity. Thanks to the deity of time, time doesn't work quite like it's supposed to either. Time does move forward but it's at a far slower pace, allowing even previously mortal species to far outlive their friends, family, and relatives. You can spend what seems to be a day in Ephilion and go back to the mortal world to find that over 100 years have passed. Technology from the mortal world doesn't work in Ephilion thanks to the strong magic that flows through it. So any cell phones, watches, or anything along those lines.. you may as well throw them away.

Sidhe Lore A Sidhe's True Name is a vital part of who they are. This name has magical qualities and so they protect it with everything they have - only revealing it to those who they trust with absolutely no reservations and even then very rarely. Their true names are generally composed of three separate names with two of them being joined by a ' or a - though sometimes the names are only two words or more than three. If someone knows your Sidhe's True Name they will be able to command them through the verbal speaking of said name. This magical process cannot be fought against as the True Name completely over rides your character's will. Because of this, use of a True Name by any character on site must be approved by Lily and both parties MUST agree for this to happen as it can lead to god modding.
Knighting is a sacred ceremony that takes place between two Sidhe who trust each other unconditionally. In this ceremony one Sidhe pledges his/her life to the other, swearing to always be by their side and to protect them from all danger. This ceremony ties the two together and the person speaking the Knight's vow cannot revoke it. If the Sidhe fails to fulfill his or her oaths then they will fade into nothing. If the other Sidhe (known as the Patron) dies, so too will their Knight. It also tunes both Sidhe irreversibly to the other's emotions, allowing them to see the aura even if the other doesn't wish them too. They can identify each other no matter how large the crowd and can always find each other if separated. This ceremony is sacred and honored by all Sidhe, regardless of rank or Court, and no Sidhe will try to come between a Knight and their Patron, including the ruler of the Courts.
Knight's Oath
"My name is (insert your True Name) of the (your court). Let it be known - from this day forth I vow to protect (Patron's True Name), daughter/son of the (their court), with my sword, my honor, and my life. Should even the world stand against you my blade will be at your side. And should it fail to protect you, let my own existence be forfeit. This I swear on my honor, my True Name, and my life. From this day on... I am yours.
