Rules> The Application Process1. You may post
1 Firekin to join the expedition. So long as they are an adult member in good health, they will be accepted regardless of rank
but the council is encouraging those interested in becoming Sentinels to go.
Notes
Sentinels - Most recruitment for the outing would be for lions who are interested in becoming sentinels.
Watchers - This is not advertised as part of the event (nobody announces that they are hiring spies, after all) but it will be open to some participants by the end.
Seers - If you have a seer, it is possible that they may have been asked some questions about it recently and were later encouraged to join this group. Why? Who knows!
Exceptions to Limit - High ranking members invited to join the group by Nawvlee so not count against their player's limit. There is no application for this.
2. You do
not need to be seeking one of these special ranks to participate.
3. You may edit your application until the deadline.
4. The deadline to post your application is
August 12, 2018 at 00:01 EST.
5. Use the following form.
Note: You do not need to declare your intent to rogue breed now to get permission later, this is just for our own information!

> Rules on ExplorationThese rules are general ones that you should follow whilst RPing your character outside of the lands. There may be more specific rules during any ORP events that may be held.
1. Never stray far from the main band. Even during solo RPs it should be assumed that the rest of the group are not too far.
2. Don't cause trouble unless you're willing to accept the IC consequences. Firekin are not out to gain enemies and anyone who risks alliances will be dealt with severely.
3. You can
and should create your own RPs, too! No need to limit yourselves to ORPs alone.
> Rogue Breeding1. You may only rogue-breed one of your Firekin regardless of how many you have applied to explore outside of the desert.
2. Males cannot bring any cubs back with them to the pride. Cubs will remain with their mother. However, once the cubs have grown to adulthood they may journey to the Firekin and earn membership with a duel [like with other rogues].
3. Females are expected to choose strong males. Unless the band specifically enters/borders another pride's territory, however, they are likely to be rogues. Rogue breeding where the father is an 'unknown' is also ok.
4. No Mix and match breedings. Firekin are not the types to accept just any mate.
5. Once the band is back in the desert you may continue to post your rogue breedings in colourist threads for 4 months. After that, it will be assumed that the breeding did not result in cubs. If you are unsuccessful, the breeding can be reattempted during another expedition.
6. Once you have found a rogue, you must request permission to breed beforehand (just as you would for an in-pride breeding).
7. Females that successfully obtain a breeding whilst out and about can delay 'showing' until they return to the lands. This means they can take part in all of the plot and not be sent home early [unless RPer so wishes]
> Claiming a New Rank1. When the band returns to the desert, your lion may have the opportunity to take on a new rank. Each rank has different requirements, make sure you know what they are an plan accordingly.
