Kat,
I vas a pleasure to meet you zhis market day and I vish you well on your quest. I made a short list of some great ideas for an updated code:
·A knight is sworn to valour
·His/Her heart knows only virtue
·His/Her blade defends the helpless
·His/Her might upholds the weak
·His/Her word speaks only truth
·His/Her wrath undoes the wicked.
Someone correct me if I am wrong but I think these are zee actual oaths/tenets of Knightly conduct for Wayside:
- Thou Shalt Respect the Weak and Thou Shalt Constitute Thyself the Defender of Them
- Thou Shalt Love the Country to Which Thou Hath Sworn Fealty
- Thou Shalt Not Recoil Before Thine Enemy
- Thou Shalt Make War Against Evil Without Cessation
- Thou Shalt Scrupulously Perform Thy Noble Duties be they not contrary to the Laws of the Land
- Thou Shalt Never Lie and Thou Shall Remain Faithful to Thy Word
- Thou Shalt be Generous and Thou Shalt give Freely to Others
- Thou Shalt be Everywhere and Always the Champion of the Right and the Good Against Injustice and Evil
Zese should be your first sets of principles...In addition, some things to help you
1) Maintain proper forms of address and understand zee current noble system.
For example:
Knight- Ser/Sera ( A is added for lady knights)
Baron/Baroness- Your excellency
Duke/Duchess- Your Grace
King/Queen-Your Majesty
Prince/Princess- Your highness (I don't think zee king is married, or has kids...but I vish him well in both endeavors)
2) Seek to understand zee world around you, study geography, and current events.
3) Be a bridge builder...If you see a problem, look for a solution, seek peace vhen you can, etc.
4) Keep your heart and conscience clean Kat...you vill get there.
Just some ideas.
