The Final Commandment

Commandments of the Crown · by Herald Duhnkal Wyrmbeard

The Final Commandment is, Let not there be Disgrace, only Honor.

This commandment truly encapsulates the inner meaning of all

previous mandates. It is in truth the embodiment of the Knights code, summarized in one overreaching goal. Each piece, each standing idea to live by is in the end leading you to this one effort.

There must not be Disgrace. We are to be protectors, and in that we must always hold our code within our hearts. This can never be forgotten. The price for failure may not only be ones place within the castle, but your very soul. We are constantly pressed on all sides by corruption, temptation, evil deception. From noble squire to humble Regent this is a universal truth. We enforce it not only for the sake of the castle but for the very sanctity of our spirits as we stand against the tide of shadows.

There can only be Honor. It is our defining characteristic. The road to perdition is a slippery one. Once stepped upon, which can happen to any so easily, it is twice as difficult to stand against. Honor is our shield, it is our bastion. Our Honor keeps the demons at bay. As our foes will often times try to compare us to murderers to vigilantes. The never ending adherence to the code, the very commandments that are our foundation, this is what sets us apart.

Let not there be Disgrace, only Honor.

This stands alone as the final testament to what it means to be a Knight of the Crown. By these commandments we will stand the last bastion of hope, the ever present light. As all of Aabahran, no all of existence itself depends on us. We will hold the true meaning of Strength, Courage, Mercy, Faith, Humility, and Charity as our utmost personal guides. With that steel we will forge Honor.

When the demon's cry and the undead assault you. When dark devils hunt your very soul. When all is dark, the setting sun vanishing as terrors rise from every crevice and crack. You are the beacon.

You are the lone knight upon the horizon. With nothing but your will, and adherence to these commandments you will stand.

Have honor my brethren, for it is what makes you truly a Knight.
