Ordo Leonis

VALOUR - HONOUR - GLORY

Loyal to the Imperial Throne of Luria Nova we serve.

Above the entrence to the main hall hangs a great iron shield, decorates it a mighty blazon of a lion - a crown upon his head. Inside the chamber a granite table - round in shape, enormous in size. To the side, at the eyes height an oaken tablet, carved words read:

VALOUR - The Lion Knight of Luria may be brave. Brave is a man who has no fear as he enters the battle. The Lion Knight of Luria may be couragous. Couragous is one who can overcome his fears, trusting in fortuitous rullings of the fate and proficiency of his own skills. Only one able to recognize the possibility of giving away everything for a noble cause, his life included - fearing such outcomes in all honesty and his own fears notwithstanding embracing his fate - can be called truly valorous. Such is The Lion Knight of Luria.

HONOUR - The Lion Knight of Luria does not stab another in the back. We face our enemies with honour. The Lion Knight of Luria does not talk ill of others behind their back. We voice our greviances against another out loud. The Lion Knight of Luria does not prey on the weak. We fight our fights fairly and conduct ourselves honourable in all situations.

GLORY - The Lion Knight of Luria holds himself to higher standards than he does other nobility. The Lion Knight of Luria is a model example of knightly virtues and as such he allows himself to be seen and known far and wide. So that other people aspiring to be truly noble can look up to The Lion Knight of Luria and take example.

Join the Order. Anyone can aspire. Few can become.

Internal Board

Ordo Leonis - order of the Lion Knights of Luria was founded by Sir Myr Arnickles Renodin, under patronage of His Imperial Highness Aldrakar Renodin, inspiration of His Royal Highness King Matthew Coffey and aid of coutless members of Lurian Gentry.

Ordo Leonis operates under assumption of Imperial consent and as such is fully independent in it's decisions and actions unless and untill Imperial dissent is vocally expressed. Anyone - Lurian and foreign, noble and common - can become Adfectator and aspire to join the order. But only truly Lurian and truly noble, who display Valour, Honour and Glory can become full members of the Order - Lion Knights of Luria.

New member applications will be reviewed based on below factors:

   Lion Knight of Luria has to be Lurian either by blood, or by merit, or in spirit and work first and foremost for the betterment of Lurian Empire.
   Lion Knight of Luria has to display Valour.
   Lion Knight of Luria has to conduct himself with Honour.
   Lion Knight of Luria has to strive to achive Glory.

All decisions in the order are (directly or indirectly) made collegially, through a vote of the Knights of the Order. Every Knight of the Order has equal say in almost all matters. It is assumed that every Lion Knight is impeccably honourable and as such some decisions are made with a limited vote, or rather "vouching" method.
