In the beginning of the
guild, our numbers were small and manageable. Everyone knew their duty
and did it with pride.
To prosper, we must hold
onto two main things. Honor and Justice. This is our credo.
In honor, we must ourselves
to Battle.net as the fighters of the light.
We must act kind, benevolent,
patient, and forgiving. There must be no anger, no greed, nothing to taint
that which is pure.
In justice, we must be
judge, jury, and if need be, executioner.
We must judge impartially
and when we execute our judgment, we must do it with a heavy heart to show
no pleasure in punishing those that have done wrong.
These two ideals of human
kind, when followed closely, lead to respect. It is true respect, true
respect is priceless.
Unlike the respect that
comes from fear, true respect leads to unconditional support even through
turmoil and unrest.
If the respect of Battle.net
is true for us and they speak highly of us, then I would consider our guild
great.
Even if all the ranks
of the Imperial Army were filled and ten thousand civilians filled our
coffers and still we were not respected then what have we gained? Nothing.
When this guild becomes
great, then the guilds men become great. If the "Imperial Throne" must
be abandoned to do this, I would gladly sacrifice such an honor to lead
such a great house.
Let not your own ambitions
hamper greatness, find solace in subservience so that one day we will find
immortality in the minds of those that we have touched. |
