The aged knight of Godfrey's Oren, Ser Athirius 'Vulpes' Roke, decides to have a sit down and read through the old code.
 

A Knight shall not give wanton offense and shall despise monetary reward.

 

"Oops", says Ser Vulpes.
 

Give succour to widows and orphans and regard the honor of women.

 

"Oops", says Ser Vulpes.

 

He shall offer that which is not needed, to those who are needy.

 

"Oops", says Ser Vulpes.
 

And safeguard the helpless and uphold the weak.

 

"Oops", says Ser Vulpes.
 

but fight for the welfare of all.

 

"Oops", says Ser Vulpes.
 

Abstain from injustice, cruelty and deceit.

 

"Oops", says Ser Vulpes.
 

Resolve not with swords what can be with words.

 

"Oops", says Ser Vulpes.
 

And at all times speak the truth, even if faced with death.

 

"Oops", says Ser Vulpes Roke. The old knight scrolls the old bit of parchment back up and stows it away on his shelf in the Peremont keep, dusting some dirt off his old Imperial Brigade uniform, the golden cross of Saint Amyas sewed over the top of the Horen dragon emblazoned on his chest just above his heart.
