Newly arrived immortals are encouraged to review this handbook before engaging with Imperial systems, Chosen protocols, or local governance structures. While no single document can fully prepare one for life within the Tarthian Empire, familiarity with its customs may prevent unnecessary diplomatic strain, public embarrassment, or intervention by Pietas.

The historian further notes that immortals who ignore guidance from the Chosen generally regret doing so. Sooner rather than later.

If your instincts favor improvisation over preparation, I recommend securing suitable comforts beforehand. Injuries heal quickly among our kind. Humiliation, unfortunately, tends to linger.

Consider yourself warned.
