Editing The Exemplars (section)

== ''''' An Exemplar is never proud.''''' ==
As stated earlier, an Exemplar should not ever respond to insult or slander, let alone demand satisfaction through law or honor combat. When an Exemplar enters the order, he leaves his reputation at the door, leaving it for the world to decide its worth. An Exemplar hated by his community should judge himself as worthy as one loved by his community. These issues are simply not to be of concern to an Exemplar.<br><br>
Exemplars consider this important enough to merit one of their only five code tenets because they consider pride to be a great threat to moral fortitude of the Exemplar. Pride is what keeps a being from wiping down tables or accepting a lowly rank or station, and it is what causes someone to demand the satisfaction of his honor. In fact, it can be argued that the very concept of honor is merely a veiled form of pride, and an Exemplar is to be without pride.<br><br>
