The Tannisbury Path to Knighthood was founded upon the basic principles of the Paladin Knight, who conducted him or herself in a manner of keeping his integrity above reproach. The following virtues are a basis for a knight of Tannisbury, and is intended as a guideline for conduct and discipline for all members who choose this path.
Valor
A knight demonstrates unyielding courage in the face of adversity. Nothing stands in his or her way of completing a quest or mission. No danger is too great, no task too small that will prevent a knight from his or her goal. Each victory he or she experiences is done so for the honor and glory of 
Tannisbury, rather than for personal gain or recognition. A knight will attack an enemy without hesitation, and will continue to fight until his or her opponent has either withdrawn or is defeated. (This is not intended to imply that in all instances, it will be necessary to attack an enemy. Wisdom is the better part of valor and information can be gained by observation in many instances.)
Honor
A knight conducts oneself with integrity at all times, and in all circumstances. A knight respects his or her peers and superiors, as well as others who share their commitment to goodness and justice. He or she recognizes those of superior rank from other guilds and treats them with respect in acknowledgment of their status. His or her moral fortitude precludes his or her desire to inflict undue suffering even upon the most vile evil doer. A knight would die before betraying his or her principles or those of the guild.
Courtesy
A knight considers the feelings of those around him or her when speaking or acting. He or she always shows the proper manners in addressing someone, and remembers to thank others for any assistance they might give. A knight never knowingly insults another, and does not engage in slanderous behavior. He or she maintains control of emotions, refraining from use of foul language, and offensive behavior. He or she avoids even the appearance of impropriety.
Honesty
A knight's word is his or her bond, and he or she does not make promises not intended to be kept. He or she speaks the truth to the best of his or her knowledge, but may decline to answer if doing so will jeopardize the security of the guild, or will inflict pain upon another.
Fealty
Once a commitment is made to the guild, a Knight is bound to the goals and philosophy of Tannisbury. He or she faithfully serves the guild even in the face of personal difficulty. He or she respects and honors those elected to leadership positions, recognizing that those leaders work for the betterment of the guild.
Humility
A knight is humble in spirit and action, speaking modestly of his or her deeds, seeing them as only an opportunity to better the guild. He or she is embarrassed by praise, and refuses awards for actions performed as what he or she sees as duty.
