"Foursome shall be the virtues of the House, and to break any of them | |||
will henceforth result in punishment severe. | |||
First of these shall be Strength. Be it of the mind or the body you | |||
shall be the swords and pens of the Lord and of the House. Always will | |||
you strive to this excellence and should you be found wanting your | |||
penance shall be to apply yourself thricefold over to find this | |||
excellence. Failing that shall you be offered back into the Earth that | |||
gave your form Undeath. | |||
Second of these shall be Purity. You shall be of a pure mind, | |||
unblemished by the taint of life nor of its failings. You shall offer to | |||
no Divine that supports life, nor shall you grant Their warriors mercy. | |||
No heresy of the enemy shall be given rest nor reprieve. Our scholars | |||
will discount their flawed doctrines as our warriors shall cast the | |||
lesser shells of these mortals into the Earth as offering to our Lord. | |||
Third of these shall be Vigilance. The devices and subterfuge of our | |||
foes is a common and constant threat. We cannot let those in our care go | |||
unattended, or the minds and bodies of those in our care, our thralls, | |||
our loved ones, they shall be forfeit for our lack of vigilance. We | |||
shall be the ever-seeing eyes of the Earth and we shall let no passing | |||
escape our eyes nor no heresy escape our vengaence. | |||
Fourth of these shall be Unity. We were founded as a fraternity, a | |||
brotherhood of warriors and indeed while we have more than men among us | |||
this idea is paramount. We must stand united against our foes or divided | |||
shall we fall. A hand splayed in many directions shall harm a foe much | |||
less than a hand balled together into a fist. And our fist shall be a | |||
fist of mail and fury." | |||
