These rooms and policies are not for the Free.
Schola Aurorae within the Township of Delphinia offers a unique opportunity for the housing of slaves.
This type of housing has its own rules and stipulations that must be agreed upon and followed in addition to the General Rental Guidelines found here.
There are a few ways to go about renting kennel housing and slave quarters.
♦ The owner of the slave rents for them or sends them there with the opportunity for role play story line leaving their property with the school until they are fetched whether there is more story to it or not. Is the owner going on a trip? Do they have business in town?
♦ A slave player who has decided to have an NPC owner may rent a room as they wish making sure to stick to their role play understanding that they cannot use the NPC as a scapegoat anymore than they could in normal RP. Keep it plausible.
♦ Whatever story is up to the players involved, school staff and personnel are not required to participate unless they desire to.
♦ In general slaves are allowed to have rooms at the school with no questions asked, it’s more a guideline to keep anyone from questioning the validity of slaves renting a residence knowing that for the most part the IC/OOC lines get blurred often in these instances.
Restrictions, Stipulations, and Conduct
Because of the sensitive nature of the slave role and the conduct that they have to maintain there are several guidelines that are specific to this particular area and by renting a room you are agreeing to uphold them.
The school and grounds is an In Character area therefore it is kept In Character for the most part, however these stipulations apply to renters, not to those that may be a part of the school.
In the event a slave is part of the school on an in character basis they would have their own code of conduct which would be applicable to them.

♦ Free persons are not allowed on the kennel floor except for School staff, not even a slaves owner. If a slaves owner wishes to see their property there are many places to do so other than on the kennel floor. The slave would be “called down” or “fetched” by school staff even if it is just done by NPC or story.
♦ The kennel floor is defined as the second story accessed by staircase at the villa from the front entrance area where the school resides.
♦ Slaves may not entertain any free in their rooms or on the kennel floor, even School staff. If a slave desires to entertain, visit with, or serve a free person there are other places on the sim to do so. These are kennel rooms, and the floor in general is for slaves only and should not be disturbed.
♦ No free persons are allowed to demand a slave renter leave the kennel floor. That is between them, we don’t get involved, work it out in role play or otherwise. Slaves once on the kennel floor are ‘locked in’. Using IM’s, birds, or other forms of communication to coerce a slave from the kennel floor is inappropriate. Harassment of slaves in this fashion is against Delphinia community standards.
♦ Slave renters are not city/town slaves, or school slaves that have expectations placed on them to serve within Delphinia or to school staff as part of their duties. They are however welcome to serve or role play on the sim as any other player would be.
♦ Slaves who break the rules of entertaining the free on the kennel floor even if it is their owner risk being evicted without notice and without refund.
