Terms of Use
From Mizahar Lore
 |
This article is about a rule of the game. |
Mizahar is a fantasy world that may contain mature themes and topics, and should be considered inappropriate for children due to the strong nature of certain themes (violence, warfare, substance abuse, etc) depicted in threads. We gather here because we all love the game, the interaction the game brings, and the ability to escape the real world and join a fantasy one for a time. Real life is difficult enough without bringing many of the problems that exist within our lives into Mizahar’s World. By posting to Mizahar's Forums and Lore, you give us full permission to use and modify any ideas or concepts contained in your posts.
