TRADITION. FAITH. LOYALTY.
The three crucial tenets of Clan Umeneri that are the highest ideals to uphold, without which she is nothing. These tenets guided and protected her Clan for generations, and so they shall guide and protect her, too. Bound more to her personal code of honour than to earthly laws and material relations, to spurn one's past or betray a promise are the gravest capital sins. To cut tradition — it would be as if to raise a blade against one's own head.
The Umeneri combine the Korami tradition of reincarnation of the soul with a heavy focus on ancestor worship and remembrance, and thus deepest respect should be extended towards the dead — so long as their lives were spent in the service of those three most noble tenets. The Phoenix and the Equinox will guide her journey and ensure she stays on this path, provided she maintains faith.
The Clan was harsh. Doubt and derision have steeled her, though. She is thankful for those lessons. And even more so, she is thankful for the pain that they brought. She was born as iron, and this pressure and heat turned her into steel. For that, she should give thanks. An oath of eternal loyalty to your bloodline.
Fight hard. Walk straight. Always speak the truth.
