+A knight's values:
+
+	Prowess
+	Justice
+	Loyalty
+	Defense
+	Courage
+	Faith
+	Humility
+	Largesse
+	Nobility
+
+
+
+Prowess: To seek excellence in all endeavors expected of a knight, martial
+and otherwise, seeking strength to be used in the service of justice, rather
+than in personal aggrandizement.
+
+Justice: Seek always the path of 'right', unencumbered by bias or personal 
+interest. Recognize that the sword of justice can be a terrible thing, so 
+it must be tempered by humanity and mercy. If the 'right' you see rings 
+agrees with others, and you seek it out without bending to the temptation 
+for expediency, then you will earn renown beyond measure.
+
+Loyalty: Be known for unwavering commitment to the people and ideals you 
+choose to live by. There are many places where compromise is expected; 
+loyalty is not amongst them.
+
+Defense: The ideal knight was sworn by oath to defend his liege lord and 
+those who depended upon him. Seek always to defend your nation, your 
+family, and those to whom you believe worthy of loyalty.
+
+Courage: Being a knight often means choosing the more difficult path, 
+the personally expensive one. Be prepared to make personal sacrifices in 
+service of the precepts and people you value. At the same time, a knight
+should seek wisdom to see that stupidity and courage are cousins. 
+Courage also means taking the side of truth in all matters, rather than 
+seeking the expedient lie. Seek the truth whenever possible, but remember 
+to temper justice with mercy, or the pure truth can bring grief.
+
+Faith: A knight must have faith in his beliefs, for faith roots him and 
+gives hope against the despair that human failings create.
+
+Humility: Value first the contributions of others; do not boast of your 
+own accomplishments, let others do this for you. Tell the deeds of 
+others before your own, according them the renown rightfully earned 
+through virtuous deeds. In this way the office of knighthood is well 
+done and glorified, helping not only the gentle spoken of but also all 
+who call themselves knights.
+
+Largesse: Be generous in so far as your resources allow; largesse used in 
+this way counters gluttony. It also makes the path of mercy easier to 
+discern when a difficult decision of justice is required.
+
+Nobility: Seek great stature of character by holding to the virtues and 
+duties of a knight, realizing that though the ideals cannot be reached, 
+the quality of striving towards them ennobles the spirit, growing the 
+character from dust towards the heavens. Nobility also has the tendency 
+to influence others, offering a compelling example of what can be done 
+in the service of rightness.
