| Garou Shall Not Mate with Garou |
We Fianna work towards physical perfection. It is our duty to serve Gaia in the best physical condition possible. Metis can never achieve perfection. When you feel the blood pulsing and the passion rising...find a Kinfolk. Else you will suffer the scorn of a Tribe. Would you shame your ancestors so? | |
| Combat the Wyrm Wherever It Dwells and Whenever It Breeds | The Wyrm created Fomor to destroy us, and failed. The Wyrm struck at our hearts by corrupting our brother Tribe, and we stood strong. Now we return the favor to the Wyrm in one simple philosophy...No mercy to the Wyrm, not ever. | |
| Respect the Territory of Another |
Our lands give us strength. Our lands is the blessing of our Mother. If it is another's land, give them their due....but take care of your own land first. Stag is Gaia's husband, we are chosen of Stag. Just as he protects and cares for Gaia so must we. | |
| Accept an Honorable Surrender | Celts do not fight Celts to death unless we must. We have long granted this boon to any other who surrenders with honor. An honorable foe whom you defeat should be treated with courtesy. Buy them a drink, we've made more friends this way than any other. Besides, the drink takes the sting out of getting beaten. | |
| Submission to Those of Higher Station |
Respect your leaders...only as far as they've earned. If nothing else, give them cold courtesy and nothing more. As for submitting...well...nobody is to high and mighty that they are beyond the occasional "thoughtful commentary" on their faults. | |
| The First Share of the Kill for the Greatest in Station |
We traditionally give the first part to the slayer...but your elders may just beat the heck out of ye if you're too enthusiastic. Wait for it, then is they offer it to another...remember that insult and act accordingly. We Fianna are fun to be around when we are accorded the respect we deserve....and a holy terror if insulted. | |
| Respect for Those Beneath Ye - All Are of Gaia |
Life is a cycle, especially for us Garou. Lord Stag lives, grows, and dies so that his blood renews Gaia. Just as our Totem Father does so do we. Death is only a minor inconvenience to we Fianna...we'll be back. The Cycle of Life is forever. So remember that when you deal with others, when you're gone they are the ones who sing your stories. | |
| The Veil Shall Not Be Lifted | We are open to our Kinfolk. I would say that only the Bone Gnawers or Children of Gaia love their kinfolk more than we. However, if you are too stupid to realize when you are endangering the Veil, we'll gut you ourselves and hang your dumb carcass from the closest Pine. Don't forget that. | |
| Do Not Suffer Thy People to Tend Thy Sickness |
We are all Warriors. When it's a warrior's time to go...go! Like I said before, you'll be back soon so what's the worry? Of course, our Theurges and Galliards must live on until their wisdom gets passed. But as for the rest of our Auspices...heh heh...a blazing finish to a lifetime makes for a great ending to your legend. | |
| Ye Shall Not Eat the Flesh of Humans |
Yuck. You'd have to be Wyrm daft and stupid to eat man-flesh. Surely you've killed a human before in battle and tasted that foul blood on your snout? Hell I remember wiping it off as fast as I could. If the blood tastes that foul, what would the entire hide reek of? Makes me gag just thinking about it. Besides, we'll kill you if you get to start eating man-flesh. | |
| The Leader May Be Challenged at Any Time During Peace |
If we are to win, we must have strong leaders. But he who wins challenges instead of winning renown gains no respect...only hollow positions which we will probably ignore anyway. Leaders must lead! If they can't, then boot them out. | |
| The Leader May Not Be Challenged During Wartime | In war, follow without question. Unity is strength when in battle. When the danger is over, oust the incompetent and useless leaders, but when the heat of battle rages then the course of action chosen guides the claws of all. If the leader dies, then you had best have already established the successor. | |
| Ye Shall Take No Action That Causes a Caern to Be Violated | We Fianna defend our lands. We defend our Mother. Death will be what the filthy dog screams for if we ever catch a Caern Defiler. Enough talk, just thinking about this pisses me off. |
