Interesting fact: The longest bronze-age sword measured out at seventeen inches. Longer swords used on foot left the warrior open to attack in close quarters. DC
Way of the Warrior : Code of Conduct (Author Unknown)
Way of the Warrior: Content - If these sound like the Boy Scout Rules of Conduct, you wouldn't be far wrong. If the warrior in your novel has no flaws, he or she wouldn't be very interesting. Bring depth to your character by giving the warrior failings to overcome. While the warrior may strive to improve, he or she may not. DC
HONESTY AND JUSTICE
Be acutely honest throughout your dealings with all people. Believe in justice, not from other people, but from yourself. To the true Warrior, there are no shades of gray in the question of honesty and justice. There is only right and wrong.
POLITE COURTESY
A Warrior has no reason to be cruel. They do not need to prove their strength. A Warrior is courteous even to his enemies. Without this outward show of respect, we are nothing more than animals.
HEROIC COURAGE
Rise up above the masses of people who are afraid to act. Hiding like a turtle in a shell is not living at all. A Warrior must have heroic courage. It is absolutely risky, It is dangerous. It is living life completely, fully, and wonderfully. Heroic courage is not blind; it is intelligent and strong.
HONOR
A true Warrior has only one judge of honor, and this is himself. Decisions you make and how these decisions are carried out are a reflection of whom you truly are. You cannot hide from yourself.
COMPASSION
Through intense training the Warrior becomes quick and strong. He is not as other men. He develops a power that must be used for the good of all. He has compassion. He helps his fellow man at every opportunity. If an opportunity does not arise, he goes out of his way to find one.
COMPLETE SINCERITY
When a Warrior has said he will perform an action, it is as good as done. Nothing will stop him from completing what he has said he will do. He does not have to "give his word." He does not have to "promise."
DUTY AND LOYALTY
For the Warrior, having done some "thing" or said some "thing," he knows he owns that "thing." He is responsible for it, and all the consequences that follow. A Warrior is immensely loyal to those in his care; to those he is responsible for, he remains fiercely true.
I love your Way of the Warrior code of ethics. I've never seen it spelled out so completely and succinctly. I believe I was an Irish warrior princess in another life. I can't think of a less chi-chi and more appropriate term than "princess", but even in this life, I feel fiercely honor-bound to seek the
truth.
Honor, a quality most lacking these days, is very important to me and in others. If a person has no honor, they have no credibility, they are nothing and others have no reason to believe or respect them.
I first came to Sci-Fan with Terry Goodkind, but I must add
your name to my must-read list.
