What We Beleave', 'Dogma:
All of the faithful of Bahamut must follow the Ptarian Code of Honour developed several millennia ago by a great golden wyrm known as Ptaris. The Code is similar to the code of chivalry adopted by certain segments of humanity. In its full form, it comprises several hundred lines of elements, nuances, and commentary. The major precepts, however, include: Justice and Good above all; Honour and Fealty to the King; Honour and Respect to Righteous Innocence; Honour and Duty to the Justicemaker; Honour and Protection to the Lesser Races; Honour and Correction to the Enemies of Justice and Good; and Honour and Forbearance for oneself. Notably, the third precept refers to the protection and respect for good aligned innocents. The fifth precept is also noteworthy in that, destroying an enemy of the Law and the Good is a second-best solution. The ideal outcome would be the conversion of the enemy to the ethos of lawful good. For this reason, the faithful always try to parley before fighting and they always give an opponent a chance to surrender and recant their evil ways. On the world of Toril, the faithful are also trying to reinvigorate the old Code of Enlil, arguing that its abuses under Gilgeam warrant a more compassionate interpretation than was done in times past. you colud have kim learn this from one of her books. and drake should learn this as well unless you think he alreadys knows')
