Guild Ethos & Interpretations
Gizzy's thoughts on the ethos
1.
Wizards are honest, thoughtful and respectful towards others at all
times.
I beleive I talked about this extentsivly above.
2. Wizards are neither superior nor inferior to another person.
We are all equal, throught the land. We must treat one another that
way. We must be helpful to one another, and respect all members of the
lands.
3. Wizards practise the light side of magic. Greed and personal
advancement at the cost of others are not concepts practised by Wizards.
While it is nice to garner rewards for yourself, it is important to
look out for those who are not as lucky as you. It is important to help
when you can. We are not warlocks.
4. Wizards are committed to learning and perfecting the Art of Magic.
The advancement of magic for the good of the lands is a key role of any
wizard. We must do what we can to perfect existing Magic skills, as well as
find ways to understand new ones.
5. Wizards are urged to become friends with all in the Guild. We unite
under a common name and purpose. Together, as comrades, we shall further
everyone's understanding and satisfaction of the World.
My fellow guildmates are people who I trust and rely on for my life.
Without them, there is no purpose for me in these lands. We must bring
together all the new members with the older memebers and create one family
of wizards.
6. A Wizard's Family is the Guild. You live, and perhaps die, for them
see above.
7. Wisdom is the greatest asset a Guild can have. Through Wisdom and
knowledge, comes power. The power to assist all those around us. Wizards are
encouraged to learn from each other, to support each others quests for
knowledge.
I have learned a great many things from my fellow mages in our guild.
This knowledge I have begun sharing with those who need it, and I hope I can
do that with greater abilities as a GL
8. Wizards know that the experience is best gained through personal
achievement or co-operation within a group. Experience "earned" by hanging
on to someone's coattails may increase your abilities but not your Wisdom.
Many of us have had help adavancing through our years in the lands, and
with that we can take great knowledge away with us. But it is very
important to learn lessons when gaining those abilities, and not just
allowing people to accomplish things for us.
9. A Wizard shall not inhibit another wizard's opportunity at achieving
wisdom by giving out quest answers, though vauge hints to the weary
adventurer are permitted.
It is not productive to solve quests for someone so that can learn a new
spell, but it is much more important to help them succeed on there own.
Tips on this is helpful, but we do not hold members by the hand and show
them want to be done.
10. Wizards do their best to support the Guild and its members, providing
The Wizard's Ethos is not broken in the process. Wizards are encouraged to
share their ideas for and with the Guild.
Any member can contribute to the guild, weather they are a leader or a
brand new member. All opinions should be listened to and considered.
11. Wizards air their grievances within the confines of the Guild. Public
displays of disunity do not advance the guild and do not rectify the
situation. A civilised meeting with Patrons and Leaders will solve
difficulties far more effectively.
If there is a problem take it up with one of your leaders, we do not need
others involed in issues pertaining to the guild.
12. The Ethos is the summation of a way of life, not hard and fast rules.
A Wizard interprets the above and applies its spirit, not its word.
Follow these guildlines to the best of your abilities to succeed as a
Wizard, and as a member of this great land.
