Pronunciation: DAH-ess day-MAR Daes Dae'mar, also known as the Game of Houses, is the primary means of social advancement and financial gain throughout the great houses of Cairhien and the other large cities. Although the 'Great Game' is primarily participated in by members of houses with title, or royal blood, it can be played by anyone, from the lowest maid to the highest Lord. To participate in the game, all you need is a goal that is also desired by someone else, whether it's someone you know, or a complete stranger. And the result of the processes used to achieve this goal can be anything from the physical elimination of your opponent to just a simple victory without hard feelings or social status change. And the means and processes used to achieve your goal can be anything you can think of, from spying and note-passing to infiltration, and from simple poisons to outright fighting. Daes Dae'mar isn't meant to be a full-time occupation, but can at times seem like it, but instead it is meant to be the name for the ways that are used which consist of anything from somewhat shady undertakings, to outright deception and deceit. This is not to mean that all the methods used, and the people using them need be 'evil', it just means that they can be perceived differently by the various individuals and/or groups affected. On tyme the game is also a guild...to participate give the current Daes Dae'mar GuildLeader a mudmail and tell us a bit about yourself. But remember, if you get caught, you may be held accountable for your actions, so be careful... |
