THE WARRIOR ETHOS
“Virtutis Gloria Merces” - “Glory is the reward of Valor”
- Motto of Clan Donnachaidh
Warrior ethos refers to a set of principles that define a warrior's character, spirit, and way of life. It's essentially a code of conduct that emphasizes qualities like:
- Courage and bravery in the face of danger
- Loyalty to one's comrades and to a cause
- Discipline and self-control
- Resilience in the face of hardship
- Self-sacrifice for the greater good
The specific content of a warrior ethos can vary depending on the culture or military force, but these core values are often present. For the Tenth, our code is simple:
- To place the mission first, above personal glory
- To accept any challenge, despite the odds
- To never accept defeat, regardless how dire
- To never quit, even to the last
- To never leave a fallen comrade behind

As a member, you will represent the Organization in both character and conduct. As such, basic Laws of War were created to guide those in the toils of war, to conduct themselves in the responsibilities and manner befitting the title of “Warrior”.
While each system and faction has their own laws they enforce; the Tenth has its own guidelines and rules to follow. The primary examples of such are:
- Only fight enemy combatants
- Do not harm those who surrender
- Destroy no more than the mission requires
- Treat your opponent with respect deserving
