- 2.2 Extended Membership Agreement: An extended membership agreement may be attained by paying the Prime Minister for several reigns' worth of dues at one time.

- 2.2.3 The holder of an extended membership agreement must present his or her receipt in lieu of dues at future Crown Qualifications. The Prime Minister will validate the receipt with his initials and date and return it. When the term of the extended membership agreement has expired the Prime Minister will dispose of the receipt.
- 2.2.4 The Prime Minister is responsible for tracking extended membership agreements, and must provide the next Prime Minister with a complete list of all extended memberships purchased in his or her reign and all previous reigns.

- 2.5 Income - Any money earned by running a kingdom-sponsored event or function must go to benefit the kingdom treasury, a provincial treasury or an official mundane charity approved by the Monarch. No one may gain personal profit under the pretense of running an official kingdom sponsored event. However, merchants may sell their own wares or services at events for personal profit.
- 2.6 Relics - While kingdom relics are considered the property of the wielder, actual ownership is always retained by the kingdom. Thus, relics (or the use thereof) may not be sold by the wielders. Relics may, however, be shared within the household or fighting company of the wielder.
