 =====What Will Players Be Doing?=====
+Player characters are exiles, banished to the Wastes, and participating in the Rites as their only hope of returning to the Protectorate. Any that return will do so into positions of influence and power (the character will no longer be playable, but can make changes to the setting and send letters back to be delivered at the next event).  There will be a limited number of opportunities to return, which will be obtained through the Rites and some related trials.
+This is a PvP game - there will be competition for resources, and particularly for those opportunities for returning to the Protectorate.  There will be no character death during the game, and no combat outside of the Rites.
 Rite of Passage will use a class-based system.  While the focus of the game is on the Rites, which are represented by LARP combat, there are several non-combat options.
