Standard T1 rules, if you need a guide to T1 and are new to the Arena, here is a link that gives a well written and detailed explanation on how T1 works. [url=http://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/87170-t1-eden-era-and-t1-modern-5-different-takes/ooc#post-3062213]Click Here.[/url] 

Honestly it's pretty simple. 

However, there's a few extra rules for this.

1: Be incredibly clear with your charges. Do not pretend you don't know what I'm talking about, charging in the background of your post. 

2: Rules of Engagement are as follows:
[indent]
If you engage an opponent who is a tier higher than you are, you are allowed to bring a companion with you. However, if your opponent does not agree, the fight will not happen. 

You may willfully engage an opponent who is a higher tier than you, as long as you agree that you will be at a disadvantage. 

If you are multiple tiers lower than your opponent, you may bring along multiple companions. As long as all parties agree. As well, you can agree to fight them alone at a distinct disadvantage.

Factions are simple. To declare faction ownership, you must have at least three members as well you must describe a faction location. 

Once these two requirements are met, it will be added to the world map.

Faction wars are dictated by all members of both parties.

Victories of faction members increase the size and world influence of the factions.
Losses of faction members decrease the size and world influence of the factions.

World influence is the draw for other characters to interract with your characters. The more world influence you have, the more dangerous you will be percieved. 

Victory is a double edged sword, drawing too much attention to yourselft might bring numerous challengers. Probably, maybe. I might implement a point system or something.

The Tier List is pretty vague, though I figure you all know it pretty well. And if you do not, you can ask for an explanation. I added intermediary tiers between the normal tiers to give a bit more wiggle room.

Human

Low

Low Intermediate

Intermediate

High Intermediate

High

You can have a total of four active characters at a time.

Pretty standard, rules of engagement have already been listed. 

Real simple stuff, just so long as folks aren't colossal assholes things don't really need much regulation. 

Do try and have some range in your character's tiers, so not everyone is high or low. This is to give everyone a pretty fair chance at duking it out with everyone, y'know.
