Personal Statement of Ideals

I, Colyne Stewart, member of the Order of the Pelican, citizen of the Kingdom of Ealdormere, do hereby, under the stars of the Orion, and in service to the Society, hereby make this pledge:

That I will, as a Peer of the Society, always strive to abide by the expectations of those who hold such a station, as outlined in Corpora and other governing documents of the Society;

That I seek to recreate only the positive aspects of the past, and I reject all forms of intolerance and bigotry and those who would practice them;

That I believe the exploration of any culture, whether through garb, persona, or arts and sciences, is welcomed, so long as that exploration is performed with respect;

That real world concerns will always over ride the concerns of my game;

That I welcome participants from all backgrounds, regardless of their ethnicity, culture, sexual orientation, gender identity, religious beliefs, nationality, or abilities;

That I believe such diversity makes us stronger, both in the game, and in the modern world;

That I will aid those who require aid as I am able;

That I will be a voice for those who may feel voiceless;

That, if I should fail in these tenets in any way, that those who observed this failing bring it to my attention so I may redress any wrong;

This I do, by my hand and seal, in my holdings of Colynesburg, in the lupine lands of the north, on this, the feast day of Amadour, year of the Society fifty and three.
