The three binding charters
Terms of Service
How you and Thronestead agree to behave. Covers eligibility, your account, what you may and may not do, VIP billing and refunds, virtual content, open beta, moderation and appeals, and dispute resolution.
- One account per person; you are responsible for everything done under it.
- Cheating, multi-accounting, fraud, and harassment can mean removal, with one appeal.
- VIP is cosmetic only, renews until cancelled, and refunds are reviewed by a person.
Privacy Policy
Exactly what we collect, which services process it, how long we keep it, and your rights to access, correct, export, or delete your information.
- Every service that handles your data, named, with why.
- A retention schedule that matches how the game cleans up.
- Self-service deletion, a consent gate on landing analytics, and Global Privacy Control honoured.
Code of Conduct
How players are expected to treat one another in chat, alliances, diplomacy, and in-world actions. Defines what is allowed, what is not, and how violations are handled.
- Zero tolerance for harassment, threats, and hate, in-game and on the official Discord.
- Alliance and region leaders are accountable for their treasuries and boards.
- Reporting flow, the restriction ladder, and one appeal per action.
Rules of the Political Stage
Supplements the Code of Conduct for the political stage: the Crier, alliance boards, embassies, and the press. Where they differ, the Code of Conduct prevails.

What changed on September 9, 2026. The Terms of Service and Privacy Policy were replaced in full: a named governing law, an age and one-account rule, the complete VIP billing terms, the open-beta clause, a concrete data inventory with every service named, and a published retention schedule, and the Code of Conduct was revised to cover the official Discord community and spell out the restriction ladder. Each charter opens with a short "what changed" note of its own.
