XI. Amicitia (Friendship)/Triumviri (Groups of Three Friends)

A. Triumviri (Friends)

Three players called triumviri may form an amicitia (“friendship,” a formal friendship or alliance with one another)

    1. Amicitiae involve three players who meet in a region and agree upon the terms of the collaboration;
    2. Each triumvir in the amicitia may or may not make a formal declaration of amicitia before Juno, binding the amicitia with a divine oath
      1. Triumviri whose amicitiae have been blessed by Juno may engage together as a group in proelia (VII.B.2.b);
      2. Juno bestows coronae pictae (colored headbands) of the same color to the three triumviri to identify them as belonging to a triumvirate;
    3. Triumviri may offer something for the general benefit of the amicitia, including suffragia, classes, legiones and Denarii
      1. while each player in an amicitia is subject to a ten-legio limit individually (II.A.4), groups of players who have joined into an amicitia are unlimited in the number of legiones they may possess.

B. The Dissolution of an Amicitia

    1. If a amicitia dissolves, they return their coronae pictae to Juno, and the ownership of the properties which the triumviri handed over in the course of forming or maintaining their amicitia is determined as follows:
      1. A triumvir may request the return of his suffragia at any time through Mercury or any numen not engaged in a proelium who must immediately seek out the triumvir who has them and must deliver them back to the original owner;
      2. A triumvir may request the return of his other properties (Denarii, legiones, classes) if he is in the same region with the fellow triumvir who is in possession of those properties; classes must be returned, while Denarii and legiones do not.
      3. Other numina besides Mercury may or may not help in the return of classes, Denarii and legiones;
    2. The betrayal of a triumvir may incur not only the displeasure of those betrayed but also that of Juno who may choose to express her displeasure with that player in public, especially to other numina including the Fates and her husband Juppiter, if any of them is willing to listen to her.
