Harper Watchwords:

• Harpers work against villainy and wickedness wherever they find it - but they work ever mindful of the consequences of what they do.
• All beings should walk free of fear, with the right to live their lives as they wish.
• One of the things so-called �civilized� folk do often is manipulate their fellows. When a Harper seeks to sway others, it must always be done for good ends.
• A Harper always tries to narrow the gap between good intentions and good results.
• The subtle plan outstrips the bared blade.
• The rule of law aids peace and fosters freedom, so long as the laws are just and those who enforce them lenient and understanding.
• No extreme is good. For freedom to flourish, all must be in balance: the powers of realms, the reaches of the cities and the wilderlands into each other, and the influence of one being over another.
• Whatever it takes, a Harper will do. Pride never rules the deeds of a true Harper.
• Harpers can spare themselves less freedom than those the work to protect must have - but even a Harper must be free.
• Harpers police their own. A Harper who hears the call of personal power can no longer hear the sweet song of the Harp. A Harper who seizes power, and holds it above all else, is a traitor to the Harp. Traitors must die, for freedom to live.
• Without a past, no being can appreciate what they have, and where they may be going.

Harper Cares:

• Harpers who have Harper pins carry them unless going into situations where the discovery of their identity would endanger their mission. Harpers wear their pins openly only as a recognition signal to other Harpers, or at Harper gatherings.
• Harpers don�t give up; they always work on unfinished missions, however much time has passed.
• Harpers help other Harpers without hesitation or thought of personal cost or credit.
• Harpers do not conceal their own shortcomings or handicaps from other Harpers.
• Harpers never stop listening and looking, no matter how tired, hurt, or affected by magic or wine. An awake Harper never relaxes.
• Harpers do not respect rank or power; Harpers do respect wisdom and good character. Harpers never discriminate on the basis of sex or race - but almost always take careful note of a being�s religion and how loyal that being is to it. Strong religious belief can be a dangerous thing; if the deity�s nature or commandments stand opposed to the Harpers.
• Harpers do the unexpected.
