The Claw Code

Claw CODE of honor

Claw code, honor, and reputation is recognized by many vendors and entertainers. We ask for no special treatment or discounts. Our group is independent of the fair and the shops; however, we do escort others to venders that we know have superior product and quality. As craftsmen and artisans, we recognize the labor and materials that are involved and respect the vendors. Our goal is to support the vendors so that we are able to share many seasons with them for the years to come.

Code of Honor

Stand before your brothers and sisters in honor and hold the unity with pride
Keep at heart the will of The Claw
Forever shall honesty keep your mind, mouth and hand
Support the needed, defend the defenseless and strengthen the weak
Walk forth with pride and stand strong the bindings for The Claw
Do not pass on anything you have not personally witnessed or verified. Never give unproven hearsay the weight of truth. Never reveal the secrets entrusted to you by kin, guild, or friend without permission. Possession of a wagging tongue marks you as a fool.
What you have HOLD! Let no one take from you, your family or guild that which is rightfully and legally yours.
Offer forgiveness only to those who are truly repentant of wrongs committed. Offer forgiveness with a joyous heart, for to do so grudgingly is not forgiveness but deceit.
Be known your place of rank. Keep fast the words of your oath
Always remember that the fury and excitement of the moment can play havoc with the truth. To keep one's head in any situation is a virtue.
When you gain power or authority, use it carefully and with wisdom.
Pledge friendship and your assistance only to those who are worthy and honorable. Denounce those who bare false allegiance of The Claw.
The laws of the land should be obeyed whenever possible and within reason for the protection of your family and guild.
Dignity, a gracious manner and a good humor are to be admired and cultivated.
