The @the01crow has very generously pinned simple instructions in the register here section of the S&S discord. I have taken the liberty of updating some of his work, though I did not have the time to cover EVERYTHING, unfortunately.
Users should perform the following to register:
- You activate the bot with the command !register.

- You answer with one of them; you type Nature, Combat, or Pillager.
Path to the Throne
While the amount of activities in the game continues to grow, any player's ultimate goal is to ascend to the royal throne as King or Queen of the Serfdom lands. The table below lists the current ranks in the game. Who will be the first ruler of these lands?
