Virtues

Courage: One must show courage in all situations, no matter how dangerous, difficult, tedious, or unglamorous the task, and to graciously accept the sacrifices involved.

Faith: One must exemplify trust and integrity; she is always faithful to her liege, her country, and to her promises, no matter how big or small they may be.

Generosity: One must give of herself; her substance, her time, her wisdom, whatever is required and creates a strong, rich and diverse community.

Hope: One must display a positive outlook and a cheerful demeanor as inspiration to others, even in the face of tragedy and setback.

Mercy: One must exercise mercy in her dealings with others, creating a sense of peace and community.

Nobility: One must uphold one’s convictions and duty at all times, especially when no one else is watching.
