[bg=090909][atrb=cellPadding,0,true][atrb=cellSpacing,0,true][atrb=border,0,true][atrb=width,460px,true] Before you create a character, please keep this in mind—the alliances are practically law at the Academy. They are not considered petty and stupid by the students but taken very seriously and abided by most of the Academy population. The alliances dictate who your friends are, who your enemies are, how you see certain groups of people. The leaders of each element control the 'politics' of the Academy, choosing their allies and marking their enemies. Elementals cannot be friends with everyone. It doesn't work that way. If you are a Fire and you befriend a Water, thus a person outside of your alliance, your own element and their allies will start to shun you. You may even be exiled from your element and branded as a traitor. If you manage to offend both sides (this is very rare), you'll be known as a complete outcast and even the Winds aren't likely to associate with you. Note that outcasts are not playable characters, since no element associates with them and threading would then be very difficult. 'Wars' are declared between the elements when the normal tensions run unbelievably high. Only leaders can announce official wars. There is usually at least one war per year, and occasionally all five elements will get into the fighting and debating. During wars, leaders often set special rules to restrict the activity of their own element. This is done at their own discretion.
