The Fifth Order
From Atlantic Roleplay Wiki
Title: The Fifth Order
Author: The Paladin
The Imperfect Creed
============
"No one dictates the Virtues. The Virtues may only guide you.
No divinity empowers the Virtues. Your deeds give them life.
No Virtue may be forced on another person. Only thus do They become a force.
No one Virtue over another. Each in Its time and place. No end exists for the Virtuous quest. Let your deeds multiply as people do."
By the Red road I follow Virtue as it is the right thing to do, no matter how daunting it seems.
By the Green way I follow Virtue for the even-handed regard of all points of view before I make judgement.
By the Yellow trail I follow Virtue to give of myself; my learning; my life.
By the Orange pass I follow Virtue for all others before myself.
By the Blue track I follow Virtue so that Truth, like light, might flow through me.
By the Purple course I follow Virtue in acknowledgement of all my duties.
By the Black approach I follow Virtue in recognition of the fact that taking no pride does not mean I can shirk my duties.
By the White path I follow Virtue through the Principles of Truth, Love and Courage.
The Fifth Order exists so that there is always a home for the wayward Paladin; the Paladin that finds no Virtue where the Eight are preached most vehemently.
Come ye not to the Fifth Order in search of the right to denounce others. Come ye not in search of wealth. Warrior or wizard, it makes no matter. Your adherence to the Virtues and how they flow through you can grant you passage.

Only the Virtues and the paladins of Them.
