Crimson Code

 Completion of your duty supersedes all other concerns. Death is the end of pain, but the beginning of servitude. That which you hold to your honour, hold with your life. Betray the Order only at your own peril. A 'right' is only what you can maintain for yourself by your own power. Think with patience—death is eternal. Act with chaos—life is uncompromising. Other people are merely tools for your use; utilise your fellow knights with the understanding that they are also using you. A well-chosen foul word or slanderous phrase is equal in measure to the greatest praise.</li> If you don't get caught, it wasn't wrong. If it feels good, it probably is good.</li> One man's cruelty is another's comedy.</li> What would the 'pure-of-heart' know without first being taught by our excesses?</li> Honour, valour, loyalty, and respect are all useful practices; they are especially useful merits for other people to have toward you.</li> You are that which you do: act in accordance with your principles rather than your pride, and you will be accorded honour amongst peer, employer, and enemy alike. </li><ol>
