The past week has been really scary and stressful as we have heard that the Order is downsizing some paladins that haven't been performing well, or have not been fighting up to its standards. In order to weed out all those who have deteriorated from lack of action, the top brass have devised a series of tests based on the several Knightly virtues for us knights and paladins. Those who pass get to stay in the Order, while those who get kicked out... might have to end up as mercenaries unfortunately.
There are eight Knightly Virtues. Humility, Compassion, Courtesy, Devotion, Mercy, Purity, Peace, and Endurance. We were all given a simple test for each. I really don't want to go into detail of what we've been through, so I'll just tell you the result of each test I went through.Humility: Basically a test of humility. For some reason, I passed this one. It was a B.
Compassion: Who knew a swarm of beggars could be so annoying? I think I got a C+ here.
Courtesy: Being courteous to ladies is my thing but... did they really have to make us serve MEN? No, seriously sis. MEN. Not women. MEN. I got a B. (Seriously there is a lack of female paladins in the Order.)
Devotion: They made us recite the oath lots of times here. I got an A!
Mercy: We had to weaken as many enemies as we could without killing them. This was tough because I usually go all out. B- .
Purity: F as in FFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUU--- (I got an F!) I BLAME TEH PORNZZZZ AND I COULD NOT HELP BUT FAAAAAAAP *crai*
Peace: They were talking about inner peace here. But since I am quick to anger... (C+)
Endurance: HA! My specialty! I got an SSS here! (Um, that actually stands for Social Security Services Insurance because I got hit pretty badly after the test. I got an A for effort though.)
In the end, I actually passed despite my one failure being Purity. Argh. At least I got this nifty little badge in the end! Don't you think it looks cool?I'll see you around Camp Steven soon.
Stay safe! Love ya!

HI Prawnt....i hav a list of questions for u....
ReplyDelete1)seems that u r a paladin...y u keep call
urself a knight?
2)The virtues were a set of 'standards'so there's not oni 8 of them......refine ur search......they r called beatitudes...... meanings of "The emblem of order"...
"REGARDS"
...members of the seven sins...
The emblem of the Order is a white eight-pointed cross embellished in the four principal angles alternately with a lion passant guardant and a unicorn passant. The four arms of the cross signify the cardinal virtues: Prudence, Temperance, Justice and Fortitude. The eight points signify the beatitudes: Humility, Compassion, Courtesy, Devotion, Mercy, Purity(very important), Peace and Endurance.

ReplyDelete1. For entertainment purposes, Prawnt still refers to himself as a knight as the duties and responsibilities are more or less the same, with paladins only being stronger versions of knights.
ReplyDelete2. Well maybe you're taking this too seriously. Don't think, just enjoy whatever is written there. Otherwise, you've missed the point of what I'm trying to deliver. Entertainment.
