You read what is written on a simple scroll: | |||
The Strictures of the Flame | |||
[I] Beware the eyes that wander, for they look to the great dark and see | |||
not the glory of the Sun. | |||
[II] Beware the feet that rove, for we tread close to that endless | |||
expanse of abyss. Look to the Sun and know its glory. | |||
[III] Beware the tongue that waggles, for it spreads the perilous | |||
teachings of the craven and blind. | |||
[IV] Beware the hands that search, for the Shadow Mother awaits to turn | |||
your blade on your allies with Her terrible eyes. | |||
It is in flame that we are bathed and in battle that we are born. | |||
Blessings unto the Sun and the Flame. | |||
[--as taken from the holy texts of the Grand Master Sovahol] |
