Seeking to revise this in the near future:
"Before you can enact and put forth your teachings to use you must be taught them. You cannot perform Discipline if you have a -basic- understanding. It requires more than just being a good boy- It's gaining the respect of others by giving them the respect they themselves earned through their years of service to Shadow.
It may seem a- as the young ones call it- drag, but there is method to our madness. And that method is something that must be fitted to the individual. Like armor.
Years of service to the Shadow grants respect, so sees the deity you fight for fit. In the mundane sense... It may seem a waste, that there is no true honor to be held as, in general, this is a civil war between us and those who technically are our brethren... But there is honor in fighting for what you believe to be true. To fight, win or lose, is victory should the Shadow deem your sacrifice... Well, as previously stated, worthy.
The Prophetess and Tyrant will never guide you wrong. They are our ears, eyes and guiding hands. Should, by some god-forbidden instance, they become corrupted... Should the Power they saught corrupt absolutely... It will not be us whom corrects them. It will be the Shadow himself. He condones naught those whom seek to disrupt the peaceful ways of the Ordo, but he seeks to strengthen us."
