- The part on RAIDING mentions only Empire as an exception, when Nexus also has two inners
- A newline is missing at the end of the help file
- Also browser spellcheck picks up some typos (underlined below)

INDUCTION
Welcome to your new cabal! Here are some basics that you'll need to know from
an Out of Character perspective. You can also view seperate helpfiles for many
of these things, if you want more detail.

CABAL CHANNELS
Every cabal has a "cabal channel", allowing you to speak with your cabal mates
all over Thera. The command to speak on it is "cb ". Typing "cb" with
no message will toggle the channel on and off.

Some cabals have channels in addition to the cabal channel, for other purposes.
These are:

Fortress: There are two other channels in the Fortress, one for Maran and one
for Acolytes (Squires and Scribes cannot use them nor hear them). They are
accessed by typing "fc ".

Empire: As a new Bloodoath, you will be able to hear the Empire cabal channel,
but you will not be able to speak on it until you are promoted. Once you are
promoted, you will find that each sect within the Empire has its own channel,
accessed by typing "sect ".

RAIDING
Each cabal follows the same basic setup: One cabal item from which they draw
their power, one inner guardian and one outter guardian (Exception: Empire has
four smaller guardians that take the place of a single inner guardian). The
inner guardian is much stronger then the outter guardian. Attacking either will
cause them to alert everyone in that cabal, if they are able.

If an enemy cabal holds your item, then slaying their outer guardian will
return your item to your cabal automatically.

If an inner guardian is slain, then that cabals item will appear in the hands
of the guardian's killer (provided the cabal being raided posessed their item
in the first place). Any other cabal items held by that cabal will be released
as well. Example: Fortress holds the Scion and Empire cabal items. Empire kills
the Fortress outer guardian, thereby returning the Empire cabal item. Empire
then slays the Fortress inner guardian, causing the Fortress item to appear in
their hands and the Scion cabal item to appear back in the Scion cabal.

If you are the one to land the killing blow on an inner guardian, their item
appears in your inventory. You can then take the enemy item to your cabal and
give it to your inner guardian. When you do so, your guardian will lock it away
in your altar, and the enemy cabal will lose access to most or all of their
cabal powers.
