The Creed Resolute was the founding document of the [[Order of the Companion]] in [[Elturel]], but in the 1470’s it was also adopted by the [[Hellriders]], and at the time of the [[Descent into Avernus Campaign]] it has also been adopted by the [[High Knights of Elturel]]. The full Creed is actually a lengthy document proscribing and prescribing various courses of action that are “right and proper” for a knight. This includes some guidance that’s ethical and moral (mostly chivalric code-type stuff), and other guidance that’s more practical (like codes of dress and the list of arms and armor which any follower of the Creed must maintain). Even Elturians who haven’t sworn the oath to uphold the Creed Resolute will often say things like “recall the Creed.” Usually, however, when people speak of "taking the creed," they are describing the following passage that knights of each organization must recite upon initiation. *I solemnly pledge my soul and blood and blade to serve as a knight of Elturel and share the Oath of the High Observer in honoring the Gift of the Companion. I shall guard the realm of Elturgard and all those lands which lie under Elturel’s Shield, upholding the laws of Elturgard and the commands of the High Observer. I shall live my life in strict accord to the Creed Resolute, placing it and this oath above all other doctrines. I shall be bound to all others who swear this oath, declaring them now and forevermore, whether in life or beyond the veil of death, to be my brothers in arms. To ensure the perfect harmony of our brotherhood, I shall permit no difference in faith to come between us, but rather hold the Companion, which I shall never attribute to one god or another, as our common star.* #SchoolOfThought/DiA/Canon/Homebrew
