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.

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