Central Beliefs & Tenets
Law is the foundation of stability. Order is the path to prosperity. Without them, Mistwood Lake would crumble under the weight of unchecked ambition and chaos. The Silver Shields do not rule—they safeguard. They are the line between justice and disorder, ensuring that peace is not merely enforced, but accepted and understood.
Duty outweighs ambition. Power is a responsibility, not a prize. The Shields serve not for personal gain, but for the preservation of a city that must endure beyond any one ruler or council.
Loyalty is to the law, not to whims of influence. The Silver Council governs, but the Shields ensure that governance remains measured, fair, and just. They are no tyrant’s fist, nor a noble’s hired blade. Law is their only master.
Justice is not blind, but wise. Strength without wisdom is brutality; wisdom without action is cowardice. The Shields move with precision, balancing firm authority with the discretion that true peace demands. They do not wield fear, but respect, ensuring that Mistwood Lake remains a city where order is trusted, not resented.
