Hail, Sapience

I recently sought an additional task in my journey towards becoming a Knight, and asked a member of another Order to test me as well.

Sir Aodfionn of the Gaian Knights was kind enough to oblige, and set me the task of writing poetry in a particular form that is honoured by their Order.

I was tasked with finding an admirable or noteworthy quality of each of our member Orders, and write a poem of no more than two stanzas on them. In doing this task, I found greater insight into each Order, and I hope they will bring you the same.

Knights of Hashan

Knights of Hashan ride,
Largesse, Loyalty, Franchise,
Progress guides our stride.

All doubts left behind,
Forward march, heed not the world,
Dark court's silent pride.

Gaian Knights

Gaian Knights, we rise,
Tsalaikaa in our hearts,
Sowing pride with grace.

Andad sa mandad,
Pride blooms in community,
Nature's strength, our bond.

Order of Thurisaz

Thurisaz hirds train,
Traditions strong, hearts aligned,
Cyrene's shield shines bright.

Guardians of Vashnar's gem,
Sworn to home's defense.

Knights of Aster vow,
Shield to those who lack defense,
Slayers of dragons.

Eastern Sacrament

In dawn's gentle light,
Knights rise with unwavering grace,
Sacrifice their creed.

In shadows they stand,
Guardians of hope and strength,
Actions speak their truth.
