Avalon Code of Chivalry

This line is specific to members of the Order of Avalon, a pledge to Serve and Protect.

The agreement to be bound to the Ideals of Chivalry

This is a reminder, every time it is read or said, to revisit all of the ideals of Chivalry and reavow a dedication to them.

To protect the people individually and as a whole against the cancerous and destructive influences and forces of Chaos.

Chaos takes many forms in today's world, some are obvious, yet many are deceptively masked, often as humanitarian or other beneficial works.

To help and protect those in need whenever possible.

Note, this does not say specifically the "weak", as feigned weakness is often used to attack others.  The innocent are those without fault, those who are being attacked unjustly.

Quests and Causes give purpose and focus to one's life.  Quests should normally be specific, short-term missions with achievable goals to which one swears pursuit.  Causes are generally longer-term movements and commitments that require group efforts.

Always have a quest, a purpose, driving you.  Make it important, make it exciting, make it a reason to wake every morning.

Outside of extreme need, one should not deceive.  Betrayal is a violation of the human covenant and should never be done.  This does not mean that you cannot disengage from an oath or loyalty, but it must be done and let be known well before you engage in a contrary path.

Though Warriors, followers of the Way should avoid damage or agression unless it is necessary.

These three pillars of being must be made and kept strong in order for one to stay on the Way through the difficulties of life.

These pillars form the balance upon which you live.  They must each be strengthened in order for you to reach as high as you can.

The Way teaches to be a force for good and to always strive for improvement.

One should follow the Law of an area whenever possible.

It is an integral part of the Way to share the Way with others.
