Warlocks of the Rising Phoenix

We are the Warlocks of the rising Phoenix, a House forged in the heat of war
and birthed on uncountable battlefields. As the Phoenix rises from its ashes
to emerge a purified, stronger, and more powerful being, so shall we rise
from ours. 

The Warlocks of the Rising Phoenix are very much in tune with the elements
around them, and under the watchful eye of the Phoenix they will be trained
to work with them, and for them. The elements bind us together as brothers
and sisters; even those of us who do not exert a magi's power over the
elements respect their power and will dedicate his or her life to them.

No matter the differences in House members' skills, no House member shall
be valued less or more then another based on class. Each member shall be
judged solely on his or her own actions and value and dedication to the
House. No rules or laws within the House shall favour a single class above
another, as no member of the House shall look down on another class within
our House.

Beneath the wings of the Phoenix in combat, we will merge into one being and
flow with a single purpose, hardened yet respectful towards our allies.
Though we may destroy armies together, if we are divided, they will destroy
us. Though we place the honour of our House first, the House will grant us
personal pride and accomplishments, nurturing all who seek to contribute to
its ranks, and offering each of our members shelter, aid, and teachings in a
vast array of skills.

We value strength, both physical and mental. No single house member should
ever cease striving for advancement in personal strength, as the House
depends on all its members to fulfill its potential. The House will reward
those who have proven their value to it by valuing and honouring them in
return. House members will acknowledge physical and mental strength amongst
the ranks and nurture it in whatever way they can. Failing to do so can only
be to the detriment of both the House and the individuals.

It is absolutely forbidden to harm another member of the House in any way,
shape, or form. No excuse will be tolerated, and no leniency will be
granted. Secretaries will listen to all complaints and consult with the
House Lord at their own discretion before passing judgement. Failure to
comply with this most important rule will result in, but is not limited to,
revocation of privileges.

House members must swear to lay his or her life down for any member of the
House. To protect those that are weaker and aid those that are stronger, but
to never sit idly by when one of our ranks finds him or herself in any want
for aid. Whether they need directions or are in a fight to the death, unless
one is in the presence of a Divine, a fellow House member will give whatever
aid he or she can, laying down even one's life if one must. We are all
sisters and brothers in the elements, and none of us shall ever feel
forsaken within our ranks.

Both in Unity and in Combat shall we have no superiors; these precepts shall
guide us through whatever we might face. Our main goal is to combine these
both into a unified and strong house, to draw those in who wish to be like
us, and to repel those who wish to bring us harm.
