The Ten Virtues

The Ten Virtues of Curon
 

I was a young man raised in exile, the heir of a dismantled state and disenfranchised people. We moved from town to town, staying with distant friends or relatives, living amidst the fringes of mankind. I had nothing, no one, save my brother, my godfather, my books, and stories from my past. I remember one night in northern atlas, sitting by a fire with my brother Edward and godfather Augustin Falkenrath. Augustin told us of his unfaltering pride as a Curonian. He told us of the wars our people fought, of their ferocity, and of their unwavering nationalism. Even separated from our people, alone, at the lowest point in our history, my godfather never doubted his identity as a Curonian. That is what sets the Curonian apart from his fellow man: his adaptability, his industriousness, his morality, and his pride.
 

It came to me that night, that to be a Curonian, is to be part of the most illustrious and magnificent people known to man, to be Curonian is more than just a nationality or ethnicity, it is a grand way of life. We, The Curonians, are part of something greater, we more than a city, more than a people, we are ideals and epitomes of rectitude. To be a Curonian is go beyond rules of combat and live as a gentleman of gallantry, and to show bravery, courtesy, honor and great gallantry toward others. It is to the realization Curon has done and is destined to continue to do great deeds, for the Curonians hold certain virtues close to heart, zealous under GOD. And under this circumstance I write and observe the Curonians and their virtues, which should be recorded for all man and their posterity.  And therefore the Curonian Virtues begins:

FIDELITY - Family, Loyalty  

Curonian places Fidelity above all. He holds family and loyalty closest to his heart. One ought to place above all his lord and his family. He should remain loyal to the lord and in bond with his family.

HONOR - Respect, Legacy

 

Curonians must show honor where it would be snuffed out. Treat everything with the respect it deserves and keep in mind that your actions forge the legacy you leave behind.

 

FORTITUDE - Courage, Bravery

 

Curonians are forged by war. Courage and bravery in the battlefield that is life sculpts the bright men.

 

PIETY - Faith, Obedience
 

Anything against God is wrong. Believe in your Father and you shall be rewarded in the end.
 

JUSTICE - Fairness, Integrity
 

Laws set men apart from sheep. Show fairness and integrity and commit no wrong.

TEMPERANCE - Humanity, Equanimity

 

Every Curonian has free will. However, he must act with Temperance. Do not overstep the limits others blindly would.

 

HUMILITY - Reverence, Modesty

 

Greed and Lust lead to ruin. Be humble and respect life, from rich to poor. From man, to animal. From castles to flowers.

 

DILIGENCE - Effortfulness, Persistence

 

Every Curonian must strive for Mastery of themselves. Being persistent and putting the effort shows your desire to achieve great things.

 

PATIENCE - Forgiveness, mercy

 

Do not be rashful in your acts. Show mercy and forgiveness where they should be given. Acts of kindness often make the greatest of gifts.

 

HONESTY- Veracious, Righteous

 

There is no better feeling than the truth. Be righteous and veracious and your shine will be strong. For the truth always reveals itself.

[Juststan147 277]

And still Curon is a traitorous nation, how ironic “Ithilian would comment from the seven skies remembering the Curonic betrayal many years ago

[StarGazzer 287]

Vashzel would read this as he goes to draft a letter, and ties to a parrot, heading over to curon

[HeroOfDuLoc 1935]

“Give my papa’s land back.” Said Ser Bogdan.
