Chapter 44 – The Quest

We believe ourselves to be on a quest, of sorts, in the pursuit of a chivalric life. “The Quest” itself is a substantial part of chivalric and classical literature. But how do we view and undertake quests in our everyday lives? And how important is The Quest in making our lives feel worthy?

Follow the Light Unflinchingly

“No half-heartedness and no worldly fear must turn us aside from following the light unflinchingly.” – JRR Tolkien

Aristocracy

If we are a society of equals, why do so many choose to remain “common” rather than “aristocratic?” It is not merely a matter of wealth or circumstance. In a world where access to culture and information are free and instantaneous, we can and should choose to be educated and noble.

“Nearly all men can stand adversity. if you want to test a man’s character, give him power.” – Abraham Lincoln

Chapter 41, Divided Loyalties, Part 1

Modern concepts of Loyalty differ somewhat from the complex medieval relationships of Fealty, or Homage. Yet Loyalty was also considered extremely important as a virtue to the historic knight. We look at the differences and similarities, and how they relate to our modern definition.
