The Tenets of Nadrik - An interpretation for progression to Lieutenant
* Remain loyal to Lord Nadrik no matter what occurs in your life. He may
test you, but will not give more than He expects any one of His followers to
be able to handle. Know always that Lord Nadrik will stand by you if you
remain in good faith to Him.
Keep your faith. One who follows Him puts his life and honor in Nadrik's hands.
* Speak truth in your every word, no matter what consequences may follow.
Before making an oath, ensure that it is one that you can keep, for breaking
your word is as telling a falsehood, both tarnish your honor.
Speak the truth, even if it leads to your death. Such brings trust and respect. Believe you, and they will follow you anywhere.
* Do not seek friendship with those of the Darkness, for they are the
damned. Also know, by associating with any who are dishonorable of any
creed or ethos, you are seen to condone their actions, and Lord Nadrik
condones no dishonorable action.
Evil is in ideological conflict with that of good. They are regarded as the enemy and not to be trusted. There is little sincerity or fellowship to be found with evil.
* Speak and act with courtesy to all you meet, and of all you've met, no
matter the circumstances you find yourself in. Even the most despicable
tool of Darkness will not cause one of Lord Nadrik's faithful to break from
his courteous nature, for we are not to be baited by anyone.
It is important for those of good nature not to lose their moral high ground. This starts with the patience to not lose one's temper.
* Work for justice, not vengeance, for vengeance is the path of darkness and
ruin. Justice is unemotional, it is the law, it is above yourself, and
beyond any personal goals that may be had.
Gareth Keep follows the letter of the law, which is absolute. Emotion has no place in the definition of your actions. It is the means, not the end to see law through.
* Show loyalty and friendship to others of His faith. Our diversity
strengthens His faith, and allows us to see different facets of worshipping
Him. Unity within His faith is required by the Lord, He frowns on those who
strive against His children.
Tolerance and fellowship will bring likeminded individuals together. You must understand something properly before it can be condemned.
* Honor and respect yourself completely, only through these acts can you
truly honor and respect others.
Know yourself, and be happy with who you are. Once you know yourself you may know others.
* Understand that honor is a way of life, not a cloak that can be worn or
taken off as convenience would dictate. Clever words do not make you
honorable, your daily actions will portray your honor most clearly to
others, thus ensure your every action is one you can be proud of.
We follow the letter of the law, always. Do the right thing. The law will protect those who do what is right.
* When a goal is set before you, whether by yourself or by another,
persevere with great determination until it is reached. The Lord has little
love for those who cannot see a task through, for it shows a weakness of
character.
Never, ever, ever give up. If giving in is an option you have already opened the door to failure.
* Understand that you may have pride in yourself and your actions, but mind
that pride does not ever become arrogance. It is a fine line to walk, and
you must be ever conscious of it. Arrogance is a lack of humility, and the
humble nature which those of Nadrik's faith embrace.
Let others define your pride, rather than yourself. Humility is the path for a knight, arrogance for the braggart.
* Know that greed is unacceptable, whether it be greed of money, greed of
attention, or greed in any other manner. Greed is a lack of humility, and
the humble nature which those of Nadrik's faith embrace.
We do not want things for our own glory, but the Lords. All we require are the simple tools to work in His ways.
* Never arbitrarily take the life of an innocent, lest it condemn your soul
to the Darkness. All those are innocent who have not embraced evil or dishonorable ways.
Know who your fight is with. We seek to undo the wickedness of evil who would seek to do Good harm.
This is a brief synopsis of the tenets of the Gods of Good.
Austinian's goodness
The Path of Austinian is to understand the right path and see it done
Nadrik's honor
The Path of Nadrik is to see Austinian's goodness done in the right way
Siccara's healing
The Path of Siccara is to heal all those who have had evil do them hurt

The Path of Kantilles is to promote a responsible use of magic with conscience
Taliena's love
The Path of Taliena is to show people to love one another
Kadiya's peace

Together, the paths make up what is right and good. A moral position is stated and a stand is made. The Paths are not easy, they do not step back or welcome any way as neutrality does - they do not give an easy road to promises of riches and power as evil does.
The Path of Good leads us to the knowledge that when our time is done, we would have left Algoron a better place with a clear conscience that we did the right thing, no matter what the burden.
