Creed of Ostre

The Creed of Ostre relates to the will and personage that Ostre imbued in hs peoples. It is an ideology shared by all of the first-placed, and one that the order of Men have endeavoured to preserve thereafter.

Luente (Luente of the Creed)
The first to identify this doctrine of morals and wellbeing as anything more than emotions was Luente, first-born of High Ostre, and considered the first philosopher of Men. As a thoerist, she devoted her life to exploring the rights and wrongs of life. Her life's work bor the Creed of Ostre, a list of tenets by which she had discovered all Men should live, as wished by Ostre. The original Creed is made up of two sections, those being her own discoveries, and those of others.

Section 1 - The Tenets of Luente

 * 1) Let Man be unceasingly mindful we are here by breath of Ostre, and let us strive to honour that genesis
 * 2) Five lands lay along the Shadow, five lands may we one day meet
 * 3) The earth is a great ally to foot, and Man is designed to stand upon it
 * 4) Our eyes are to marvel at the beauty of our world
 * 5) Our minds are to see things not yet set before us
 * 6) Our hands are to make the things we need and do not have
 * 7) Fail and get better
 * 8) A kindness gained must always be gifted back to its rightful owner
 * 9) Worlds lie beyond that of our own, but to be slanderous or violent towards that which is different yet benign is to be most unbecoming
 * 10) The price for command is a fall taken for each commanded
 * 11) Speaking well of oneself raises the stake of boast by six
 * 12) Let Man make challenge, and compete to better themselves by game and contest
 * 13) A journal finds that which is so easily lost by mind
 * 14) If there was no revelry to be had in malts, we ought feel repulsion to it
 * 15) Wait as you have waited
 * 16) A lie is as easy to open as the cloak or collar of Ywaine-On-The-Knees
 * 17) Acclaim of false winnings is to be left with only that
 * 18) There are things in this world that may diverge from Ostre's will, but those who boldly seek to refute it must be come down upon with the fury of Ostre himself so that the notion of dissent is destroyed, whether or not the foe detroyed with it
 * 19) A broth can't be made by the field of one Man
 * 20) The sincerity of repentance is oft punishment enough
 * 21) Yet it is the right of man to feel and execute the anger of Ostre to acheive a justice unmet
 * 22) An unguided prodigy is no use to himself, and no use to a hundred others
 * 23) A master farmer starves the city if you don't give him grain
 * 24) Owe only as fany favours as you keep

 * 1) Malt is a passion, but indulgence is a poison
 * 2) A face struck in rashness is to strike he who placed you
 * 3) With the hunting of beasts comes the thrill of Ostre, but the murder of kin is weight enought to sink a Man in land or water
