2. In order to advance within pard structure, you must fight your way up. If you wish to become one of the Nekhi, or Sesheme/Sheme, and someone is already in that position, in order to advance to that position, you need to fight your way there (unless the spot is empty, and then you may advance by non-violent means).

3. Never, ever tell pard secrets to an outsider without permission from the Nimir-Ra/Raj.

4. Do not do anything to deliberately hurt another pard member (such as: if they're not 'outed', don't out them on purpose).

5. If the Nimir-Ra/Raj is unavailable at a time that a decision must be made, the Sesheme will make stand in for them, and act as Nimir-Ra/Raj. Pard members must treat all decisions made by the Sesheme/Sheme during this time as they would any order from the Nimir-Ra/Raj.

 
Consequences of breaking the rules of the Sang Noir pard:
In most cases, punishments will be decided by the Nimir-Ra/Raj. But, in a few instances, there is an automatic punishment- death. If a pard member betrays the pard, and deliberately brings harm to the people in it (such as leading a bounty hunter to them), the guilty member will be killed.
