Orderborn codes and values

I’m fascinated by the Dedicated aspect of Orderborn communities. There are a ton of ideas that can serve as a foundation for a character’s values and moral code baked in there. But coming up with those can feel daunting. Here’s three examples I came up with. Please chime in with more.

Court of the True Fae

  • Favor for favor, and debt for debt.
  • There is no spirit of law, only its letter.
  • Hospitality has its limits.

Small pastoral community

  • The farmer has to be an optimist or he wouldn’t still be a farmer.
  • Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it.
  • Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.

Artist commune

  • Art can act as balm or blade, choose balm when possible.
  • Music should illuminate truth of the soul.
  • Use your voice to bind communities together, not tear them apart.

Halfling community of hospitalers

  • There’s always room for one more chair at the table.
  • Lying to yourself is the deepest of cuts.
  • A well-read mind can solve any problem in time.
