Knights,
After a few incidents have been brought to our attention, talks between myself and the lords of Order and we would like to make the following amendment: A clarification on what it means to abandon a fellow knight. Current restrictions state “…if a fellow knight is left behind on an adventure, dead or alive.” This has led to discussion, often banter, but sometimes turning more serious, in situations where it really should not have ever been an issue. As such I intend the restriction to be changed to the following: “No knight shall abandon a fellow knight, unless clear permission is sought and given first.” We could call this the Banquo clause. The simple fact is there are some amongst our orders who are bound to never leave combat, be it with a specific foe or just their general inclination to rage in battle. When the knight in question is of sufficient power that they can survive the ensuing battle, but their fellow knights cannot, it is not the intent of this oath that Knights throw away their lives in adherence to the letter of the oath, rather than its spirit. Likewise if the knight in question has beliefs that mean he must throw away his life, it is not expected that they place other knights in mortal danger unless necessary to uphold our oath to protect the land and its people. It is expected that permission will be asked for and sought only with very good cause, but it is important that at appropriate times it is acceptable that some knights be allowed to leave, with the permission of their fellows. It is not the intent of this rule to play with lives, the strongest amongst us must not unnecessarily endanger those weaker. Each of the numerous situations that can and will arise must be dealt with as and when, but it is this spirit of our bond that must be adhered to, not some inflexible rule that can be held over all without consideration or understanding Tristan Lord Knight ((OOC - this ruling will still be under the watchful eye of Imrazil, If found that it is being abused, culprits will be dealt with harshly) -------------------- Tristan - Angel of the Virtues - Imrazil's Champion.
