Part 169: 1342: Virtue

"Your people are remembered here. It is said that you believe in six social virtues. Assuming, for the sake of argument, that you had to choose between them, which virtue would you say is the most important?"

Decline to answer.

"Defense."

"Honor."

"Hospitality."

"Justice."

"Obedience."

"Provision."

Obedience is the most important, for without it, the other virtues cannot be enforced.

Justice is the most important. All the written authorities say so.

Hospitality is the most important. Without it, King Heort's Ring would never have enumerated the other virtues.

Let's not waste time arguing over what is correct. Let's figure out what he wants to hear.
