Declaration of the Principles of Nobility


By Sir Telaris MacCleod of the Kingdom of Neridia


It is incumbent upon all members of the noble class to embody and promote the principles that follow so that the people of Tyrra may live in peace, prosperity, and joy.


One


It is the role and duty of nobility to stand forth and make the difficult decisions that confront them.


Two


The nobility have taken upon themselves the responsibility for fighting the enemies of their people, this may never be delegated or denied.


Three


Commoners, of any land in any place, are under the protection of the noble class at all times.


Four


The consequences of action must not be avoided, but accepted as is the noble duty.


Five


Law, Code, and Orders are not shields to hide behind, what is Right is what must be done.


Six


Honor, Truth, Justice are not bound by the spoken or written word, they transcend literality.


Seven


Respect is not weakness, courage is not stupidity, compromise is not indecision.
