“Good evening faceless ones, and welcome to “Witch Chess”, a most elegant game our most gracious Lady has prepared for your enjoyment in the time to come. A game of pleasure, excitement, and so much more. As co-host of this most delightful and scrumptious entertainment, I have been tasked with bringing the rules of the game to your attention, as well as other information the Lady has seen fit to reveal to you.”
*At this point in time, a golden parchment appears next to the figure shrouded in mist, many lines of text written in what appears to be Latin or Hebrew etched upon it.*
“Ahem, to begin our little debriefing, allow me to start with the guidelines that each side in this game shall comply with at all times:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“But of course, these rules are mainly for your benefit and safety, so there is little need to pay them too much attention. Rather, as pieces on the game board, you should be more concerned with the role that the memories which are to be returned to you will play in the overall mechanisms of the game, as they will be crucial in order to achieve victory. Pay close attention now, for I will only repeat these once:”
*At this point more golden parchments appear near the misted figure, who then begins to read them aloud one by one without delay…*

“Ahem, to begin our little debriefing, allow me to start with the guidelines that each side in this game shall comply with at all times:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~Overview of the Game~
- The objectives of the game for both sides are to place the other into “checkmate”, a situation where no further action can be taken by the side.
- ”Checkmate” is defined differently for each side to provide for an optimal game play experience for both sides.
- In order for the Lady to declare checkmate, she much subjugate every piece of the opposing side into complete submission to her will.
- The Forgotten however, may declare checkmate either upon complete subjugation of the Lady’s pieces, the capture of the Lady, or simply playing in a manner that makes checkmate completely impossible for the Lady.
- A turn’s length shall be defined as a full cycle of day and night.
~Rules of the Game~
- The Forgotten, out of good will by the Lady, will be liberated of any and all physical ailments they may have at the start of a game so as to ensure maximum enjoyment.
- The Forgotten will also be permitted to select memories from which to draw power for use on the game board, as the Lady wishes to encourage “fair play”.
- In addition, as the Lady is a most generous individual, the Lady herself may not enter the board in play until the end of the seventh turn.
- The Lady, until her placement upon the board, may not directly intervene with the board itself and must instead rely on other pieces.
- The same applies to the Lady’s opponent, lest she place herself upon the board.
- The Lady is under no circumstance permitted to make use of power which is overwhelming, impossible to overcome, or deemed as “unfair” by the host.
- The Lady is forbidden to remove one of the opposing side's pieces permanently from play, nor make use of deadly or crippling force.
- The Forgotten is permitted the use of lethal or deadly force at all times against the opposing side, and is permitted to permanently remove opposing pieces from the board.
- Both sides are permitted to introduce whatever pieces they deems appropriate for any purpose at any given time within reasonable proportions.
- Both sides are also forbidden to take their leave from the game board once a game begins, until a victor has been decided.
- Upon the Lady's victory, the Forgotten are permitted to "retry" the game if they should so desire. However upon the Forgotten's victory, the Lady is FORBIDDEN to request a second chance, and must grant any whims or requests from the victorious side. None will ever be exempt from this rule, as it is the supreme rule.
[*][SIZE="-9"]The Lady reserves the right to become temporarily exempt to regulations directly relating to her upon impending capture at the discretion of the host.[/SIZE]
