Prosperity is the best protector of principle.

Do not follow vain desires for verily he who prospers is preserved from lust greed and anger.

Although born in a prosperous realm we did not believe that its boundaries should limit our knowledge and that the lore of the East should alone enlighten us.

No lying knight or lying priest ever prospered in any age but especially not in the dark ones. Men prospered then only in following an openly declared purpose and preaching candidly beloved and trusted creeds.
