Narrator Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 Giving credit where credit is due:The following is largely a <strike>plaguuei, Plaeurism, </strike>a copy of a code of ethics followed by the Paramander. The Paramander is the name of the "True Neutral" Paladin of the D&D era. I, being a big supporter of codes of ethics and honor saw that this was for the most part great alrady, only slightly modified some of the wording to fit into my epic.The following is the code that Kenton was taught directly by Khay, the Balance Primal and member of the tribunal with Khamylyon (Light, Order) and Khayn (Darkness, Chaos). The 'Lord Lonn' referrenced therein is Asche and was worded such for The Company (aka, Pax Concordat). To get a feel for the ultimate source of the code simply remove te referrrences ot Lord Lonn and replace it with Lord Khay. The first Prantic Knight was Lord Khay himself.<!--sizeo:3--><span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:100%"><!--/sizeo--><!--fonto:Times--><span style="font-family:Times"><!--/fonto--><!--sizeo:5--><span style="font-size:18pt;line-height:100%"><!--/sizeo-->On the Prantic Decree<!--sizec--></span><!--/sizec--><!--fontc--></span><!--/fontc-->The Neutral Prantic Knight's name means "Soldier teaching the world," an allusion to the position of Lord Lonn after he subjugated and balanced the part of the galaxy where the Noble house called home. A Prantic Knight seeks to maintain that balance, often by manipulating (and, when necessary, destroying) high-powered beings of deep Alliance convictions to any Sphere or by aiding weak opponents of those beings. Any deed of outright good, evil, law, or chaos without a previously determined balancing effect on the world's structure will cause him to become forevermore a normal Knight with no karmic ties. The Prantic Knight must justify every action in the interests of virtually, pure neutrality.Prantic Knights favor subdued design in armor and weapons. Armor, though unrestricted, is usually light or for utility and, like Prantic Knights' shields, bears little or no decoration. Prantic Knights favor whichever transportation will involve the least time commitment; i.e. will buy and maintain a fast, lightly defended transport opposed to a armed transport. Weapons tend toward simplicity (melee.) and away from missile types.The way of the Prantic Knight is sometimes quite a lonely one. One following these ways may find his closest friends immediately becoming his direst enemies due to a Prantic oath or some other form of imbalance. The Prantic Knights were formed from the Original Knights of Lonn in the days of Old Anelon and have had very powerful implications and uses up to current day. In the original order of Paramander, from which, the Lonnic Knights were devised, there were only Nine Knights, which in turn served as representatives for each of the Nine Spheres of Alliance. In implementing his own order, Lord Lonn deemed it necessary to train others from various backgrounds to form more varied opinions inside the Lonnic Order. Odd numbers being the only way to avoid standoffs or even votes, the Order will train a total of Twenty-seven beings to hold positions in the corresponding Spheres as Lord Knights. All knights of the Lonnic Order are required intense training and practice in all of the Nine Spheres within their first five years of service and only then are members allowed to 'muster' out of the Order. Any Knight who leaves before this time is marked and will be slain before they can misalign reality with their uneven thinking; This is a priority to all Prantic Knights and Lord Lonn himself has been known to enter into battle in this occasion.All Knights of Lord Lonn are required to follow all of the following strictures to the word and may not interpret them by any other means save the reasoning and clarity given to them via their Prantic Standards. Any straying from these precepts will result in de-ranking and re-initiating of the Knight in question and the given assignment will be handled in the most direct and non-discretional means. Minor infractions will result in disfavor and the receiving on non-rewards, or removal of karmic gifts.<!--coloro:#3333ff--><span style="color:#3333ff"><!--/coloro-->I. Never form any allegiance with any member of either the Knights of Loran(LightWielders) or the Knights of Lesture(Dark Wielders).<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc--><!--coloro:#3333ff--><span style="color:#3333ff"><!--/coloro-->II. Any conflict with another, when it becomes necessary, shall be done with the most efficient and target specific means possible.<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc--><!--coloro:#3333ff--><span style="color:#3333ff"><!--/coloro-->III. No Knight will ever attempt to veil himself or herself or in any way subvert the direction from the Lord Knights or Lord Lonn. <!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc--><!--coloro:#3333ff--><span style="color:#3333ff"><!--/coloro-->IV. In the matter of assignments on alien or unknown society; No Knight will in any way put any device, be it physical, mental, or otherwise, into a position wherein it may put the society at risk of undeserved advancement or damage. Meaning: Lowest possible technology will be used for the given assignment until such a time where it is absolutely certain and confirmed via the Prantic Standard that the action in question is safe.<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc--><!--coloro:#3333ff--><span style="color:#3333ff"><!--/coloro-->V. In the matter of conflict the Knight will never see to it that they have a foolproof means of defeating their target. The target must have a means to escape to suffer further judgements against him and possibly regress in his doings. "Dead men can not learn and our mission is to teach".<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc--><!--coloro:#3333ff--><span style="color:#3333ff"><!--/coloro-->VI. In addition to the above the Knight will always use the lowest power to complete the given assignment. If one has no need of the gifts from Lord Knights (armor, weapons, etc.) then another device must be substituted. This is a sign of the honor given both to the member and to his target.<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc--><!--coloro:#3333ff--><span style="color:#3333ff"><!--/coloro-->VII. While on an Subjegation, never will A Lonnic Knight reveal his alignment with Lord Lonn until the assignment is completed and the target deserves.<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc--><!--coloro:#3333ff--><span style="color:#3333ff"><!--/coloro-->VIII. Forms of attack that work from a distance are dishonorable unless one is the target of such.<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc--><!--coloro:#3333ff--><span style="color:#3333ff"><!--/coloro-->IX. Psionics, Magic, Akasa, and the like are always last resorts unless used for utility functions.<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc--><!--coloro:#3333ff--><span style="color:#3333ff"><!--/coloro-->X. Knights shall remain humble of their standing until such a time as it is deserved to boast.<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc--><!--coloro:#3333ff--><span style="color:#3333ff"><!--/coloro-->XI. Never shall any refuse hospitality. All hospitality shall receive more than due compensation.<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc--><!--coloro:#3333ff--><span style="color:#3333ff"><!--/coloro-->XII. Prantic Knights will never attack first and never with their weapon of specialty during the combats beginning. The Target is always given a chance to prove his worth and valor in conflict.<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc--><!--coloro:#3333ff--><span style="color:#3333ff"><!--/coloro-->XIII. The Lord Knights and Lord Lonn remain the final arbiter in any dispute and may at any time resolve to abolish or establish any assignment or stricture at their discretion.<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc-->The ParamandyrBecause the Prantic Knights are so closely modeled from the Paramanders, they occasionally suffer a visit from the same phenomena that strikes their cousins. A rare and horrible creature, the Paramandyr is an insane cousin to the Prantic Knight, a mobile and fatally intelligent death dealer. The two are identical in every way but one: the Prantic Knight strives to create balance by molding the powerful forces of aligned convictions, whereas the Paramandyr strives to destroy these forces, believing that in oblivion there is perfect balance. The Paramandyr leaves a sigil on his victims, a unique sign that identifies the death's origin.This disease only seems to strike the Prantic Knight who strays from any of the decrees and is resentful of punishment; No known Paramandyrs have yet been formed out of the stock of Prantic knights. Lord Lonn has mentioned that as long as the Paramandyr kept to the bigger picture of the Lonnic Decree, there would be no expulsion of the victim and he would be allowed to continue in his ways. <!--sizec--></span><!--/sizec--> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
