The Church of Sartan/Sartan's Morale Code of Conduct

Moral Code of Conduct

The moral code of conduct was formed by Sartan in his formative years - when he was still a young and proud noble, strictly religious believing in the strength of the Gods and only saw the good in people. The code of conduct was considered rigorous and challenging to the mind, soul and body. The moral code just applied to Sartan, as a mere mortal wouldn't be able to meet Sartan's aptitude to kill and win battles. A talent gifted by the Gods made Sartan the greatest warrior ever born. His talent was His curse, but even thought Sartan's gift, it didn't got the better of Him, He remained modest to mankind and servient to the Gods. Sartan didn't fought for the greed of Kings, but He fought for the love of His country and Gods. He never chose to become a hero, He was born as one. It was His destiny.

Ancient texts of the Gods were discovered and some narrate the greatness of Sartan. For years, priests of the Church of Ibladesh have tried to translate the writings of the Gods, and after much afford they have been able to verbalize parts of Sartan's morale code. Even thought most of it isn't yet translated, and other parts of the code can only be matched by a God, there are still Priests of Sartan who have been able to adapt some parts of Sartan's Morale Code of Conduct to suit the hierarchy of the followers of Sartan, the dauntless warriors of Sartan.

The Path of the Warrior

Deceived by fear, influencing the way you live, the way you lead, the way you battle, you shall feel, upon the field of battle, opposed by greater odds as outnumbered by many, that you're just mortal. There is no shame in fear. There is only shame in letting fear rule you. Try not to look scared, and you'll find bravery in your heart! Death isn't catastrophic, neither does the sound of dying men guaranty you immortality. No, but death on the battlefield in service to Sartan is the greatest glory you can achieve in life. Have faith in Sartan and you shall live as a warrior, a dauntless warrior of Sartan. The tinkling vibe on your hands, a predilection for cold steel and a growing desire to unseat your sword and slice it through the air on any moment. You have seen the light because it comes from within. You don't become, but are born as a warrior. Heeding Sartan's call, pursuing His footsteps on the road to glory and honour, battle and victory.

The Value of Life

Humankind is superior to every creation, only inferior to the Gods. Intelligence is what separates us from beasts, it's what placed a brick between mankind, absorbing the hierarchy of beasts and adapting it on ourselves. What is the value of one commoner compared with that of a noble? But what is the value of one noble compared with thousands of commoners? Wars aren't fought, cities aren't fed and there won't be any taxes to collect without the mainstay of commoners. Each and every living being is a descendant of Ramus' creation. Value the creation of life. You shall not harm those innocent to the madness of nobility. You shall free them, conquer the very lands they reside and bestow them with the mercy of Sartan. Bring order where there is chaos, bring light into the shadows and divide food among those who have little.

The Will of the Gods

Only the Gods speak the truth, and nothing but the truth. Their will is law. And you shall obey their will, as you are devoted to their magnificence. Sartan's will shall be bestowed upon us, by His prophets. Every priest, is a prophet of Sartan. It is as though Sartan is speaking through a man. You might not like what he's telling you, but your problem will not be with this priest, it will be with Sartan and His word. The only question you should ask yourself, is this man before us a false prophet, or is this man telling us the truth? But if he's telling us the truth, than nothing else matters except conforming our lives to that truth. And false teachers shall preach with fear and trembling because they will undergo greater condemnation, as they will stand condemn before Sartan.
