CODE OF THE WOLF
As Handed down from Lord_wolfhead
Prowess: To seek Excellence in all endeavors,
seeing strength to be used in the service of justice
and the service of the pack, rather than in
personal aggrandizement.
All members of the pack, from the alphas,
Down to the newest pup, should be respected as
individuals whose opinions are important to the
growth of the pack.
Justice: Seek always the path of “Right”,
Unencumbered by bias or
Personal interest. Recognize that the
Sword of justice can be a
Terrible thing, so it must be tempered
By humility and mercy.
If the “right” you see, agrees with others,
And you seek it out
without bending to the temptaation for
expediency, then you will
earn renown beyond measure.
Loyalty: be known for unwavering
commitment to the pack and ideals
you choose to live by. there are many
places where compromise is
expected, Loyalty is not amongst them.
the pack should remain loyal to every
member, and every member
in return loyal to the pack.
Defense: Seek always to defend your pack,
your family, and those
to whom you believe worthy of loyalty.
Every member of the pack
should be willing to come to the aide or
defense of every other
member of the pack. No exceptions.
no member of the pack should
ever feel threatened or intimidated by
any other member of the pack.
Courage: be prepared to make personal
sacrifices in service of
the precepts and people you value.
At the same time, seek wisdom
to see that stupidity and courage are
cousins. courage also means
taking the side of truth in all matters,
rather than seeking the
expedient lie. seek the truth whenever
possible, but remember to
temper justice with mercy, or the pure
truth can bring grief.
Faith: Have faith in your beliefs,
for faith roots you and gives
hope against the despair that
human failings create.
Humility: Value first the contributions
of others; do not boast
of your own accomplishments,
let others do this for you.
Tell the deeds of others before your own,
according them the
renown rightly earned through
virtuous deeds. In this way
it is well done and glorified,
helping not only the gentle spoken
of but also all who call yourself pack.
Franchise: Seek to emulate everything
i have spoken of as
sincerely as possible, not for the
reason of personal gain
but because it is right. do not restrict
you exploration
to the small world, but seek to infuse
every aspect of your
life with these qualities.
should you succeed in even a tiny
measure, then you will be well
remembered for your quality and virtue.
