| "House Beaumayn is a Seelie House, it always has been, and always will be, else the battle is lost. Looking beyond mere 'self' is so integral a part of Jalendral's blood, that it could not be what it is without the ideals of duty and sacrifice. Remember, our House's roots are in France, and the dreams that land inspired helped form chivalry and gallantry at its finest. The fact I am a Frenchman myself, biases me not at all." |
| Death before dishonor-"Honour is, for most of our House, a matter of bearing and dignity more than merely pride. Recall always, the only one who can truly strip you of your honour, is yourself. Still, in this we and the Gwydion are agreed, should one lose his honour, he or she should try to redeem him or herself, or die trying." |
| Love conquers all-"With love, all things are possible. Many of the more romantic of our House, myself among them, think that Love is the one force the Fomorians can not understand, and thus, can not fight. In the end, it maybe the key to our salvation." |
| Beauty is life-"Beauty is life, and Life, thus, is Beauty. Look about you, your Excellencies. Even the mortal world has its wonders, and the glories of the Dreaming you have seen for yourself. If ever you doubt what we fight for, merely think on them." |
| Never forget a debt-"Be wary of this, many an Unseelie lord may attempt to 'help' you, seeking only to gain your service. Repay even these debts, but select the coin of repayment carefully, and always take into account the spirit intended. Likewise, before you avenge some slight, recall your duty, and Jalendral's Code, comes first. To those who do us a kindness, not thinking of themselves, these people are true gems. Do not merely repay them, offer them friendship. They are blessing upon us all." |
The Unseelie Code
| "As you have already heard, there are few Unseelie in our House, and for good reason. Our charge is too important for any one person to put his own good above his brothers, his subjects, and even the Dreaming itself. Not all Unseelie are our enemies, some few are even good souls. However, it is truly sad how some of them seek to twist their selfish code in a desperate attempt to sound heroic, even as they mock the heroic ideals of the Seelie one. I think, sometimes, the Seelie make the Unseelie feel very small, and they resent it terribly." |
| Change is good-"As a House gifted to see dark times rise as well as betterments, and the former often more than the latter, I can assure you most Beaumayn know this tenet is for a fact, a farce. Choices maybe good or bad; Change, simply is." |
| Glamour is free-"If it is so free, why does everyone scramble for it? If it is so infinite in resource, why have the Unseelie not worked the wonders of ancients? Those who abuse the goods of a harvest starve in Winter. You would think the Unseelie, of all people, would know this." |
| Honor is a lie-"I suppose if you are too weak willed to hold to your standards, your word, and what you know is right, it is. Then again, some supposedly 'seelie' individuals make such poor showings, confusing honour for mere pride, one can not blame some of the Unseelie for believing this." |
| Passion before Duty-"All sneering aside, for us, this is both the most repulsive and yet the most alluring of the Unseelie tenets. Our duties often seem never ending, and what fae soul is not moved by passion? Still, you must not abandon your duty. Too many rely on us. The gift, if commanded by passion alone, is a horrid thing. We become little better than the dark forces we oppose." |
