<center><font color=CD2626>Valour </center>
Valour is more than just courage in battle, or in the face of great danger. True valour is the courage to stand by thy convictions and, to act in defence of them. Courage also, to look at thy failings and, bravely, take action to rectify them.
<center>The Song of Valour
It seemed like such an easy climb
Upon the Serpent's Spine
I hadn't even time to blanche
When down there came an avalanche
And then the mantra came to mind
Though boulders bounced and passed with speed
My frozen fingers gripped the rock
As sliding snow swept loose my feet
Sing RA, My friends, sing RA
Tis a song to make thee strong
When mountains be high and the ground be far
Sing RA, My friends, sing RA </center>
This song is very popular in the pubs of Jhelom, where everyone in the bar will often join in with it.

<center><font color=2F4F4F>Humility</center>
True humility is the opposite of pride, without humility the path of the Avatar will be a rocky one. For, if thy spirit is filled with pride then how cans't thou learn? Thus shed thy pride, that thou may humbly follow the virtues of the Avatar.

The Three Principles
The eight virtues are derived from the three principles of Truth, Love, and Courage. All that is good, or done with good intent, derives from the three principles.
TRUTH
Truth is the truth that is inherent in all things. It is the truth that we discover when we are able to see clearly, free from other distractions.
LOVE
Love is the love that we find in our hearts for all things. Love is what drives us to do acts of kindness. To love is to see beauty and joy all around.
COURAGE
Courage is strength of spirit and determination to act for the greater good. Courage to never give up, and to face overwhelming odds bravely.
These three principles, either separately, or in combination, form the virtues:
From Truth comes Honesty
From Love comes Compassion
From Courage comes Valour
Truth and Love combined create Justice
Love and Courage combined create Sacrifice
Courage and Truth combined create Honour
From Truth, Love, and Courage comes Spirituality
Pride is caused by the absence of the Three Principles, the opposite of Pride is Humility.
The One Principle
Infinity is the One Principle from which the Three principles derive. Truth, Love, and Courage are eternal forces, therefore they derive from Infinity, from which the Three Principles, and Eight Virtues flow.
