A code of honour?? Please, do tell...

I was just talking to your man Tylin a moment ago. As he spouted his usual banter about the Infernals not following our code of honour, I said to the man "at least we have one". His reply: "we have one too, we just dont make it public".
Pierce, your man Tylin says he is following a code of honour which YOU have prescribed. And if he is obeying its tenants, this code allows:
-Ambushing repeatedly anyone of any size or skill level
-Teaming me with Maran and your man Jugglefire (no less at Sarapis Cave where they knew I would be praying and not have my defences up)
-Killing Swordman twice today while under an armistice of non agression (personal matter he says)
-Stealing items from my office while I try to elude him long enough to get some defenses up.

I may be a murderer, razing entire villages, men women and children, but I find stealing things such as empty backpacks, lengths of rope and other commodities hardly worth the time of a man who follows a code of conduct.
Pierce, I can only say, if thats chivalry in your guild, I can understand why you keep the code a secret. You would get laughed out of Achaea.
As Infernals, we are only mortals, and we make mistakes once in a while, as well as falling to poor judgement. I would rather live by rules and stumble on an odd day, than live by a life philosophy of thugs.
And Tylin... your chiding about our lack of chivalry is not going to improve your image in Achaea, when you live the life of a thug. Why not forget the "holier than thou" routine and go solo like Dalamar? He doesnt profess any chivalry or honour, but he shows more of it than you do.
