RTFMMANUAL OF THE HOUSE

How to operate inside this site. Three tiers — visitor, member, custodian — and the conduct expected of all three.

FOR VISITORS

Nothing here requires an account. Read in this order and the house will make sense.

How the site is laid out

The header carries four doors. THE SOCIETY is who we are and what a dragon is. THE LINEAGE is the line itself, its schools and its memorial. TRAIN is how you enter — ACāDEMIA, the dojos, and the way in. KNOWLEDGE is the written and filmed transmission.

Reading the lineage tree

The tree runs from the root of the line downward. Each card carries a name, a rank, the arts that person holds and, where granted, the golden dragon stamp. Click any card to open the full record: biography, disciplines with years, related scrolls, links and life work.

Reading the scrolls

The Scrolls library lists what is open to any reader. Scrolls marked as held for members will ask you to enter. Scrolls that are sealed are not missing — they are encrypted in the archive and open only to the standing that may read them.

Verifying a page

Any scanned page in the archive has a SHA-256 fingerprint. Paste it into the verification page and the site will tell you whether that exact page belongs to the archive, without revealing the page.

Finding a dojo

The Dojos directory lists each seat with its sensei, its location, its hours and the arts taught there. If none is near you, use the enquiry form on the How to begin page.

FOR MEMBERS

Once the house has approved you, this is what you operate.

Signing in

Enter with your email, or with a Google account on an authorised domain. Sessions persist and refresh — you should not be asked to sign in on every visit. If you are, clear the site's cookies and enter once more.

Your record

The Inner Court shows your profile: your disciplines, the rank held in each and the years from and until. Your highest rank across all arts is shown at the head of the record, with your current belt and the belt that follows it.

Correcting your disciplines

You cannot award yourself rank. Raise a correction with your sensei or through the enquiry form; a custodian edits the register and the change appears on your record and on any tree card that carries you.

The chambers

General is for the house at large. Activities is for events, gradings and gatherings. Knowledge Base is for questions put to grandmasters. Your belt room follows your current belt — white, green, blue, brown or black. The Black Dragon chamber is visible and sealed: you will see that it exists and you will not read it.

  1. 1.Open Chambers from the Account menu.
  2. 2.Pick a room from the list on the left.
  3. 3.Write plainly. What is said in the chambers is part of the record.

Video transmissions

Transmissions are tiered — the global carousel is public, your school's channel is for its students, and your sensei's channel is for theirs. Members may submit links to their own branch; a custodian confirms them before they appear.

The member wiki

The wiki is written by students and reviewed by the house. Add what you can defend. Correct what is wrong rather than arguing beside it. Every edit is attributed.

The sealed archive

Supporting members reach the sealed reader. Pages are decrypted for reading only — they are not downloadable, and each view is bound to your standing.

FOR CUSTODIANS AND ADMINS

The back office is reached from the Account menu. What you see depends on your office.

Scope of an office

The super admin travels the whole house and edits everything. An invited custodian edits their own branch — the records above and below them in the line — and nothing else. Accounts are enabled or disabled, never deleted: knowledge is not removed from a student.

Members

Approve requests, set standing, enable or disable an account, and edit a member's disciplines. The discipline editor holds one row per art: school, rank, year from, year until. Add as many as the person truly holds.

Lineage

Add a record, place it under its teacher, upload a portrait, and write the biography. The archival editor keeps drafts and versions, so nothing is lost when a record is rewritten. Grant the golden dragon stamp here, with the date the honour was held from.

Disciplines

The global register of arts and their rank ladders. Add an art, enable or disable it, reorder it, and set the ranks with the years each demands. What is defined here is what everyone else may select.

Dojos

Create a seat, assign its sensei, set its address and its hours, and toggle the arts taught there. Enquiries sent from the site collect in the Enquiries section.

Scrolls and the archive

Scrolls are written and published in the Scrolls section, and may be marked as members-only or forbidden. The Archive section takes scanned pages: upload a batch, and the system seals each page, fingerprints it and binds the batch into a tree. Publish the batch's root when you want it verifiable in public.

Scroll design and wallet

Connect the house wallet by signature — Solflare or Phantom, on devnet while designing. The scroll design forge composes a plate for a scroll, binds the scroll's fingerprint into the metadata, and mints into a collection when you are satisfied. Design on devnet. Move to a public network deliberately.

Appearance

Six colour templates and five typeface sets, previewed live and applied site-wide. Changing the robes does not change the doctrine.

Invites and domains

Custodians enter by invitation, on an authorised email domain. Manage both here. An invitation carries the branch the custodian may edit.

The Dragon Dock and ð

While signed in as an admin, a floating dock follows you across the public site. It deep-links from whatever you are looking at to the field that edits it, and it carries ð — the assistant — for drafting biographies, scroll text and spirit descriptions. ð writes drafts. A custodian publishes them.

CONDUCT IN THE HOUSE

The site is a record, not a forum.

What is written here lasts

Records, wiki entries and chamber posts are attributed and retained. Write as though a student in fifty years will read it, because that is the intention.

Rank is not claimed

Do not describe yourself by a rank the register does not carry. If the register is wrong, correct the register.

Sealed means sealed

Do not reproduce, screenshot or redistribute sealed material. Access is bound to standing, and standing can be withdrawn.

STILL A QUESTION

The frequent questions cover the doctrine and the gate. The versions record covers what the house has built so far.
