Loyalty

Loyalty is a holy word. Speak it rarely. It must be as taken-for-granted as the air we breathe. §What exists exists because of loyalty. If that which exists ceases to be loyal, it returns to nothingness. That tears the bonds that hold everything together. It shatters camaraderie; it shatters leadership; it shatters honor; it shatters confidence in the law; it shatters the army; it shatters the state; it shatters everything that exists.

Our nations and race face collapse because disloyalty replaced loyalty. An “excess of loyalty” raised it again from the abyss. Now it stands on the foundation of loyalty, which must be stronger than the destructive forces of the world. §What is loyalty, Crusader?

Your loyalty is that you never, never turn from the ideals to which you have sworn allegiance. The Knights has raised them high, so that they live in you and will go into the grave with you. That is your first and deepest loyalty.

And you are true to your race and nation. As your racial heritage brought forth your blood, you belong to it forever. This is your second.

The third claim on your loyalty is to follow The Knights both in the brightest and the darkest days. It is better for you to follow into darkness and misery than that your loyalty weakens even once.

Fourth, you owe loyalty to your fellow Crusaders and Knights. You will always help him or her in need and danger. As The Knights grows and one day becomes a dominate force in the nation, he should always know that he can come to you, that he or she can rely on you entirely, as if you were his physical brother or sister. In ancient times the knights loyally followed their lords and emperors.

We show loyalty in daily life as well. Once again, a man’s word is dependable. Promises must be kept and will be kept. We do not need a handshake and an oath. Each can depend on our word, because we again have become loyal.

Let The Knights Party be the land of loyalty. It dwells in its vast forests. It dwells in its knights and crusaders. It dwells again in us. Loyalty is our honor. Who wants to be dishonorable amidst the brave and the heroes?
