Rogues

Being a rogue class does not make you such. No more than a rogue Serpent
is a Serpentlord, being rogue sentinel-class does not make you a
Sentinel. Nor is a rogue runewarden-class a Runewarden. Nor rogue
shaman-class a Shaman. It is not the class that makes a Shaman a Shaman,
it is the guild and their devotion to Hashan, and Ritualism, and
everything else they stand for.

Being a rogue does not make you dishonourable or cowardly, but do not
usurp a title you have not and will never earn. Doing so only makes you
a thief, not of material goods but of name.



Specifically to the selfproclaimed 'rogue knights clan'.

Note the end statements in HELP CLASS MALDAATHI and HELP CLASS PALADINS.
Intermingling as one with the other class in such a clan, alone,
dishonours you, having chosen the skills of Good or Evil and using them
with blatant disregard for the opposing cause.

You are not Knights. Class is not what makes a Knight. Honour, Chivalry,
Respect, Discipline Dedication and Devotion, Valor, Strength of all
forms. These are the things that make a Knight. A Knight is one who has
proven himself time and again to his Guild, his peers, and his enemies.
A Knight is one who would give his life for a friend, as well as an
honourable enemy dishonourably attacked, such is his Honour. The Knight
Guilds have been divinely appointed, and they alone hold the right to
bestow the acolade of Knighthood on those who have proven themselves
worthy.
You are not Knights.

By claiming these titles and the right to bestow them, you reveal and
prove yourselves. You are not Chivalraeous. You are not Honourable. You
are not Strong, nor rightfully proud. You are weak, those who could not
and would not make it in the Knight guilds. weak in physical, mental,
emotional, spiritual strength, Weak in heart and soul, above all Weak in
character.

Yes, some of you may be good at combat. Physical strength alone does not
make a Knight. Or perhaps you are a quick wit? Nor does mental strength.
It is the combination of all these, and the overwhelming Honour that a
Knight would never and you have already forsaken, that makes him a
Knight.

Dishonourable cowards. Had you accepted your existance for what it was,
rogue knight-class without the Honour due only a Knight, you would be as
any other. As it is, you are Usurpers of a title you refuse to earn and
are unworthy to bear. Disgusting, Pathetic vermin.

You are Dishonoured.


Those of rogue knight class who do not usurp a title you know you have
not earned nor join and follow the honourless clan that does, you have
my respect.
