The tenets of Purity
Added Wed Oct 15 20:38:05 2014 at level 22:

Baerinika, with a Light-filled spear that was a beauty to behold,
has taken kindness to Leata and lent her a portion of Godly power.
The Light within is rekindled and even words come easier to Leata,
albeit still a challenge and a constant struggle.
As the Goddess of Purity, Baerinika has asked to formulate how Leata can live to be Pure.

The first tenet of Purity is that Leata will not fight or kill for trinkets or
for sport, but rather only combat those of the darkness to purify Thera.
She will not be distracted by a pursuit of the shinies as the Light provides
all the shine Leata cares about. If attacked, however, Leata will defend herself.
But not with zeal and not in revenge for a previous attack.

The second tenet of Purity is to never use anything associated with evil:
No things that bear a stench of the dark, no weapons that defile or hum with infernal
power, and no use of the demonfire supplication that is taught by her guild.
(It would be wildly inappropriate to call on Baerinika for Demonfire)

The third tenet of Purity is to strive to be gracious in victory and defeat.
Purity in action, spirit and words would be the ideal goal.
That includes not overly taking from a fallen foe, not taking things
from a foe that someone else defeated, not gloating in victory, nor
complaining overly in defeat. If badmouthed, not to respond in kind, but
try to diffuse the situation or choose not to respond if not possible.
Treat others as Leata would want to be treated, in summary.
