1. What the Owner owns

The world of Teraell — including the Oathbond, the six city-states, the Iron Coves and the Frontier, all named places, peoples, creatures, plants, institutions, history, and calendar, the Common Reason Tongue in all its stages and its dictionaries, the Oathbond World Bible, and this wiki — is the original creation and copyright of Madeline Blackbart ("the Owner"). Nothing in this license transfers ownership of any of it.

2. What you may do

You may create, publish, distribute, and sell works set in or derived from Teraell, including but not limited to: tabletop roleplaying rules, adventures, and supplements; video games; virtual-world builds (OpenSimulator, Second Life, VRChat, and similar); novels, short fiction, and comics; artwork, music, and maps. You may use the names, places, languages, and lore of Teraell in those works.

3. What you own

You own everything original you add: your rules systems, code, prose, characters, artwork, 3D models, builds, and any new places or people you invent. The Owner claims no rights over your original contributions, and you may license or sell them however you choose.

4. What you may not do

  1. Claim ownership of Teraell or of any element described in the World Bible or this wiki, or register any of its names as a trademark.

  5. Use Teraell to produce material that is unlawful in the jurisdiction where it is published.

4a. Real-world use is your responsibility

Teraell is fiction, and the Owner offers it only as fiction. If your work presents any of Teraell's customs, practices, or philosophy as applicable to real life — as guidance, as a lifestyle, as a framework for real relationships or communities, or in any other real-world sense — you do so on your own authority. Such a work must make clear that it reflects your views and not the Owner's, and you alone are responsible for its accuracy, safety, legality, and consequences. See Meta:Content Notice.

5. Attribution

Every work must include, somewhere reasonably visible (credits, title page, store listing, or an in-world sign), the following notice or its equivalent:

Set in Teraell, a world created by Madeline Blackbart. Teraell is used under the Teraell Creator License. This is an unofficial work. www.teraell.com

6. Canon

The ''Oathbond World Bible'' and this wiki are both canonical. The wiki is written and maintained solely by the Owner and is canonical in full, except where a page is explicitly marked otherwise. Your work is not canon and may contradict either, provided it is labeled unofficial.
