This allows them to start with either the Artificer's Kit, Sunderer's Kit or the Necromancer's Kit - usually 2,500 df on the [[Price List]] - in their inventory at the beginning of play. However, they will need to remit either 500 df for six seasons, or 1,000 df for three seasons in order to pay this off, per the character's choice. These seasons must be any season in which the character receives wages, and cannot be deferred if the character earns wages that season.

-In order to be a Noble member of the Daravinic Entente, a PC must fulfill a few requirements. To begin with, they must seek approval from the moderator(s) of the Daravinic Empire, currently: Sovereign. In addition, they must possess at least one Raw Magic at 25, and are recommended to begin with one additional magic as well, whether Raw or World. All Entente PCs will begin as 'Veir', Daravinic Lesser Nobility. They will be members of their own family, a PC-created House that does not need a write-up or additional members, though these things are recommended so as to enrich the PC's experience in the Candor.

 Daravinic Entente are almost always either [[Human]] or [[Sil'Norai]], or a cross-breed of the two. Generally, new PCs within the Entente are strongly recommended to be humans or half-Sil'Norai as the descendants of an older family, as full-blooded Sil'Norai typically only achieve a high position through exceptional skill, and virtually always must forge their own House. Exceptions, however, can be made if they make sense within the framework of the nation.
