Teaching Rules

---

The Overseers control the teaching of Acolytes. Any lesson, private or public, is permitted by them. This message will be treated with varying levels of scrutiny, depending on what it is that is intended to be taught, who is teaching, if it’s private or public and the reason behind it. This must be given at minimum, a few hours in advance of the time in which you intend to teach to allow it to be processed.

The message must include:

1. What is to be taught?

2. Who is to be taught?

3. The reason as to why it is to be taught, what it is rewarding or intent to be instructed.

Lessons categorised as (Private) for rewards bestowed upon individually chosen Acolytes and (Public) bestowed publicly on the Acolytes at large.

Punishment

---

Punishment comes under a domain of justifiable force. All Sith are entitled to it as a method of correction, especially if the Acolyte in question has acted against them in particular. Yet, not all punishments are considered equally permitted.

There are three categories of punishment:

Minimal Permanent Damage: Punishments delivered without much significant long-term damage, beyond scarring, mentally or physically. These remain entirely within the arsenal of individual Sith.

Severe Permanent Damage: Punishments that involve the removal of limbs, permanent damage to the brain or other organs, anything that will continue to affect them for the rest of their life. These should ideally be permitted by the Overseers and discussed, where possible.

Deadly Force: Something that is likely to kill the Acolyte or make them incapable of becoming Sith. This is a punishment reserved primarily for the Overseers, the Pentarchy Lords and Darth’s of the powerbase.

All three are options on the table for any Sith. The key is to be able to justify it by their actions. If an Acolyte is repeatedly disobedient, insulting and directly violent, the loss of a limb may be considered reasonable without consulting the Overseers.

In the past Acolyte Kylon attempted to kill Apprentice Emlar and was therefore executed for it, by Apprentice Emlar. This is an example of a justifiable use of ‘Deadly Force’ as punishment regardless of their presence within the Overseers. Ideally, the Overseers are conferred with before any extreme punishment but it is not expected in every scenario. You must however be able to justify it fully to the Overseers after inflicting it or face potentially significant punishment.
