thebestnoseThe Rules We Know.
Taken straight from here. Given that there are Rules smattered all throughout the book. I thought I'd make a list of all the ones we know exist. In numerical order, of course, as far as possible (the ones with numbers are usually at the beginning of chapters, and others are within-text mentions)
