The Carmine Bordello is located in Northcrest, which a small, mountainous territory just beyond the islands of Guildereim. It has a typically rainy climate in the summer and spring months, and chilly winters with heavy snowfall. The bordello itself is set in a luxurious manor; nestled midway up a mountainside and overlooking the sea. There was no expense spared in furnishing or decorating, making it the perfect setting for those seeking a fine establishment to blow off some steam, or board in the lap of luxury. Prices in Northcrest are significantly steeper than those in Guildereim in most cases, due to the cost of importing goods and the luxurious amenities that the Bordello offers.

The Carmine Bordello is a sister dream to The Golden Tether.

Transportation

The only way to Northcrest is by ship; air or sea. These ships vary between the privately run charters of Northcrest, or Guildereim ships that fly the Tether's own colors and emblem. Most would choose to take a charters which leave and return frequently; specifically intended for transporting patrons and visitors. These ships are purposefully crafted to ease the transition between ports and allow patrons to ride in style and comfort. There are ticket options for economy and first class. Those who cannot afford travel often choose to ride in on a trade ship, in which case they are expected to help out while aboard the ship and stay until all freight has been unloaded. The ships dock in the port, though due to the size of it, larger carriers anchor in the bay and send in smaller vessels. Privately owned ships may require a docking fee unless they are owned by island inhabitants.

In Character Code of Conduct

• OOC Rules

  1. Furcadia Terms of Service
  TCB is an A18+ dream, with an adult environment. With that in mind a firm understanding Furcadia'sTerms of Service & Rules and Furcadia Dream Standards is in everyone's best interest. Furcadia has provided clear and succinct guidelines for A18+ dreams, and it is our duty to enforce the TOS. Please familiarize yourself with this content, (It covers the basic topics such as required in character age, out of character age, offensive behavior or words, and general conduct.) and understand that we will be forced to report you to a guardian, should you be found guilty breaking these basic guidelines.
  
  2. The Golden Tether
  While The Carmine Bordello has it's own set of rules, it is of importance that your conduct be in good standing at The Golden Tether. The dreams are sister dreams, and while our rules vary slightly (mainly due to the difference in environment) we stand together when it comes to disciplinary action. (i.e. If your character has been banned from TGT, then it is also extended to TCB.) Familiarizing yourself with the rules of The Carmine Bordello and those from The Golden Tether, will prevent you from making any errors that might result in disciplinary action in either dream.
  
  3. Separation of IC & OOC
  Please understand that we take this rule very seriously. When you are role-playing with another person, it is important to remember that a characters actions or feelings In Character, are not direct reflections of the player's own actions or opinions Out of Character. We feel that by taking personal offense or acting against someone OOCly because of an IC interaction, is a direct contradiction for what we as players define as "Roleplay". This rule also includes using OOC knowledge ICly, or being rude to someone, simply because you do not personally like their character. Role-play has the word "play" right there in it, and should be enjoyable for all parties involved.
  
  4. Fighting, Violence & God-moding.
  God-moding is not something we will typically encounter on a given day, as the Bordello has strict IC rules against fighting or being unnecessarily violent. We have chosen to eliminate most fighting from our dream all together and kindly ask that if you would like to engage in combat, that you do so in the arena provided by our sister dream, The Golden Tether; or that you clear it with a dream administrator. The Golden Tether is likely the best choice however. There, they are more properly equipped for combat; in official TGT arena matches, a dice-system is in place to avoid any and all god-moding.
  
  5. Post Quality
  TCB is a strict role play environment, and has a very simple expectation for post length and quality. Many of the role-players in the dream are semi to paragraph (or more) role-players. Unlike the Tether, we do not have a specific set line limit, but it is highly suggested that you post at least four lines worth of post, as it would appear if you were using Furcadia's smallest font.
  
  6. Use Common Sense [AKA Owner's Pet Peeve List]
  We don't feel like you, as grown adults, need a super lengthy list of rules. This rules is our catch all, one rule to rule them all rule. (Try saying that ten times fast!) Here's the thing; just use your brain. Don't be a poor excuse for a human being and treat others unkindly. Don't take your bad day out on others, even if you are at your wits end. If you aren't sure that it's a good idea to do something, don't do it or ask someone who has the authority to decide if you can. Don't be a pain in the [@$%!#] and spam, troll or otherwise aggravate the people around you for no reason. If you do that, you are going to have a hard time. Don't ruin people's fun by being a drama queen, an attention [@$%!#], or a crybaby. You can be that way if you want to, but your common sense should tell you that is a bad way to make friends. Use your best judgement, and remember that your fellow players are real people underneath the hood.
