• Second Creed: This Union shall stand for good morals, virtue and just actions to expand the Spirit’s word throughout Aloria. Its members shall stand as witnesses to their own acts along such positive the lines, and encourage that others do so, all for the glorious health of the Spirit!
• Third Creed: The Blessed couple is bound to respect the example set by those most exemplary of people, the Herons, for they did acts most holy and brave in the name of improving the world.
