Weapons are to be properly cared for. All initiates are to spend part of the day maintaining implements of Thedeor’s holy wrath; swords are to be sharpened, staves lacquered, wands waxed, mauls oiled. An initiate on the field of battle with unmaintained weapons will be given the lash.

All initiates are forbidden to use creeperbrush oil.

After vespers, all members of the Watch are to sit and talk with another initiate, soldier, commander, or tross for an hour of conversation. This conversation is to be personal and wide ranging. This conversation is to discuss your family, your personal feelings on a variety of issues, your hopes and dreams. Get to know your fellows. Pay attention to any sudden and subtle shifts in personality. The Storm Queen can take a mind at any time.

It is not a sin to hire oneself out as a mercenary, unless the client is a dragon.

Meditate for an hour each day and reflect upon battle. Recall those who have fallen honorably in battle, friend and foe. Give thankful prayer to Thedeor, for the gifts you have received. Think upon the orders given by commanders, and how they were followed, and meditate upon the sacrifices of soldier and generals alike. We are all subordinate to mighty Thedeor. Each life given in honorable combat honors him. Each life taken through treachery, fear, or stupidity is a sin.

Initiates that are on ember watch must be vigilant that no sparks cross the boundary into the library or all is lost.
